This has been my experience with Sure Sell Autos:
I placed an ad on a regular car selling website, a couple weeks later I received a recorded message saying that if my car was still available to stay on the line. Someone took my name & number and a sweet talking salesman (Richard Frank) gave me a call a couple of hours later.
Their sales pitch is that they're a financing company who will offer financing, an extended warranty, massive advertising and will do all the work to sell your car.in addition (and this will be the catch) they can sell your car for 40 to 50% more than the price you were asking for. They will try to make you believe that you were asking for too little, that their UP FRONT fee will pay for itself and make you even more. Also that they can sell your car very fast if you pay for their "gold package" $499, then if you still say no they will start lowering the price for the same package as an "exploding offer" until they can get your credit card information.
The next day my car ad was posted in their website, but 10 days later after not hearing from them I went to check my car ad on ebay, yahoo and other websites and there was nothing. I called customer service to complain and they put an ad on ebay, the pics were bad and for some reason there were no bids? After three weeks I called again, no one answered the "customer service" line and there was no voice box. I called the salesman "Richard Frank" who told me he would get someone to call me back but that never happened. There were no fraudulent extra charges in my credit card, but I already called my credit card company just in case.
I wasted about a month and a few hundred dollars with this scam, I don't think I'll get my money back but what scares me the most is that between cars, trucks, boats, bikes... There are over 1,000 ads in their website! Could they be scamming this many people every year? What can be done to stop them?
