I got a call from a Richard Shields, on June 27, saying he was from Car Aquire and his personal phone number was 1-877-694-3919 (which is the company's phone number if it is a viable company). He said he had a potential owner from Sarnia, Ontario. That they look after the financing and the buyer had been approved. He also said that I would get a call from his manager giving me a 9 digit number that I needed when I go to either the Bank of Nova Scotia or Bank of Montreal. He said I would be refunded by the buyer paying the amount I did for the deposit 599.95 there is an exchange rate included. I feel that the exchange rate that they are charging is way too much.
On their site they have my car as listed as 11900. This is the price of 11,400 = 500.00.
The when they were asking more questions, in their speel they said we do not have potential buyers at this time that I would only be refunded back 300. I would loose the 125 but the exchange of what ever it is of 99.95.
When I was giving them my information, I had a funny feeling. I thought I was ok... I don't remember them asking for my CVV #. I felt the transaction would not go through. But it did, it was applied to my visa yesterday (June 29).
The whole approach gave me the feeling something was not right.
They did not call me back and give me the 9 digit number. They did not e-mail me with information where I was to down load my car's pictures.
They got my information off of KiJiJI. They copied the pics from Kijiji.com.
I am upset.
I believe they are ripping off customers left and right.
I tried to look up their company through the American white pages. No luck. I tried to look up the phone #... No such phone number. That to me means the person was using a cell phone.
The address that they list is for a plaza but there is no sign of them being there.
