I answered an ad in Cars.com on a 2007 Cadillac Escalade. The seller Sgt. Rachel Chambers (aka Jessica Wells) informed me via email that she was being deployed to Afghanistan the 20th of April and needed everything to happen by then. I checked everything out or so I thought. The VIN# checked out (yes we even called GM), she really existed (at least by name anyway) and the car fax with the VIN # checked out. She also assured me that Amazon Payments was handling the whole thing. I have used Amazon before and felt comfortable with them. After she (or whoever) got my $17,550.00, everyone disappeared off the face of the map. Amazon denies any knowledge of the vehicle, but they are sorry it happened. (that makes me feel a whole lot better!). I sure hope they catch these bastards. I hold Cars.com and Amazon responsible for this. They should check who advertises on thier website a little better.
