I currently have a vehicle for sale on several Canadian websites. I was contacted by a representative of a company called Canada Used Autos by phone. A message was left on my answering machine to call 1-800-821-7025. I called when I got home from work and spoke with a rep. She told me that for a fee of $150.00 they would send prequalified buyers to me that were interested in the vehicle that I am selling. I was guaranteed a sale for the full purchase price within 60 days or I would recieve $125.00 back.
The rep told me that all profits are donated to a charity called Longwood Industries, an employer of handicapped individuals.
This all sounded too good to be true. I told the rep I would have to check out her Company on the web before I gave any credit card numbers or funds to her. I tried to find the website she gave me for Canada Used Autos to no avail. I then looked up Longwood Industries and found Report: #211077. Is this just a coincidence or another type of scam. Sellers beware!
