I was advertising my 2006 f-250 on Craigslist and wasn't getting any
decent offers. Car Acquire called me for a couple weeks trying to
persuade me to use their services. Obviously I fell for their BS and
decided to give them a $500 'deposit'
I authorized the charges and understood the whole refund policy. Worse
case scenario = I would lose 125 for the cost of advertising if my truck
didn't sell within the 90days, but I would receive my $375 back.
Thought I would give it a try. Well of course. My truck did not sell
and I sent in a refund request form and my title NOTARIZED showing I was
still in possession of my truck. I sent this through the mail on the
91ST DAY. I did everything they told me to do. It has been 6 months
since I've signed up.
While I was signed up I didn't hear anything from my 'personal' agent.
I was pretty confident it would sell because she told me they had
clients pre-approved in my area looking for an f250 exactly like mine,
they were able to provide the financing. The only time I would get a
call back was when I would call in and she wasn't available so a
'manager' called me back. He would sweet talk me and tell me that
everything was good, it was gonna sell blah blah blah. He told me
clients were waiting on getting co-signers or they kept falling through.
I also have a few emails saved of them saying this.
Anyways, I was doing my research the other day to see if anyone got
their money back, and if so, how they got their money back, and I came
across this link;
Http://www.bbb.org/mbc/business-reviews/automobile-brokers/marbls-marketing-in-new-westminster-bc-1265712
I was told they were in Seattle. Turns out they are in New Westminster,
BC. The company isn't even called Caracquire, they are MARBLS MARKETING
just using that site to make money. Not only are they using
Caracquire.com, they have CARVANISH.com and NATIONALAUTOBUREAU.com. The
owner is named Brandyn Smilovici (according to the BBB) and he is a
scamming dirtbag. On the BBB report there are 2 BC Numbers and one from
Montreal.
It also says they dont even have a TELEMARKETING LICENSE. How are they
even operating?! I have contacted Consumer protection BC and have copies
of various emails I got back saying the clients are waiting for a
cosigner and that a couple fell through and can not go through with the
sale. From what I heard from Consumer Protection it doesn't seem like
they will be around much longer. Lets hope they shut down this company
so they can't rip off anymore people.
Stay away from
Caracquire.com
Carvanish.com
And
Nationalautobureau.com
