December 28 —Received $399.00 quote to transport my mothers car from Pasadena, MD to The Villages, FL. Carrier was a referral to my mother from a co-worker at the Charity Service where she volunteers. Paul Baldwin is a modern day (Paper Collar Joe) looking for suckers (hard for me to admit but, yes, I was one) I'm sharing this with all of you so that you might avoid a similar trap.
So, why did I agree to send a "non-refundable" deposit of $199.00? Well, it wasn't because of the professional service or outstanding follow-up. They were rude, pompus and full of themselves, amazingly over confident about their ablilty to deliver the $399.00 deal they're marketing— An incredible deal for 871 miles, so incredible it doesn't exist but, then it takes a con to pull off a con job! —Paul Baldwin and Lisa Cooperare the perfect duo to operate AAA ALL Star Discount Auto Transporters —one lies while the other swears to it.
They wouldn't commit to a FL delivery date until I landed in FL. That's when I learned the real deal. Speaking to me as if I had no other options, Paul Baldwin said; if I wanted the car, I'd have to agree to pay the driver another $600.00 cashin addition to what I'd already paid. Paul ranted and raved, its snowbird season was I crazy, they're hundreds of cars ready to go. This was unacceptable, I wanted my money back—his response was NO and he hung up the phone. I called back to no avail. Of course Iknew it was snowbird season, I just wasn't prepared to be plucked by AAA ALL Star Discount Auto Transporters.
Pluckme once...
