Dont fall for this stupid scam i just got the same thing. A female named storm called me said she had two buyers that were pre approved for 1000 more than what i was asking on cars.com. She said she was going to send me an email and that it was a up front charge of $169. I stupidly gave them my card number right there. Well I was in a hurry and didnt get the full website or something because I couldnt find there site so I tried to call them to get it. The bogus phone number she gave me took me to somebody different named Sasha which had a full message box and didnt pick up the entire day(250-749-7255). I immediatly got supsicious and canceled my card. Storm calls me back the next day and says my card didnt go through and thats when i mentioned the better buisness bereau and what not and that i was suspicious of them being a scam. I got Storms personal number (780-640-3036) and called her back after i found this to tell her she is running a scam and I was going to report their so called company and she basicaly tried to tell me that they werent and were sorry I felt that way and hung up. The funny thing was is she never sent me an email, never gave me a reciept or purchase number, its a private number when they call, its a canadian number, there website doesnt work, you cant find them in the better buisness bereau website ( www.bbb.com), and they obviously scamed others just like me except i canceled my card in time.
I just received a voice mail from "Toni" saying she had two buyers for my vehicle approved at $25,000 which happens to be $1,000 more than my asking price of my 2002 Land Cruiser. Sounds like they just go a grand over every price and read the script. I almost called her back but I wanted to see what area code it was. I didn't even put in the entire number and I saw (on google) this scam alert post. Needless to say I am not calling her back but if she calls me I will do my best to get as much infomation from her as possible. Who can we report this information to??
This is a SCAM! The woman named Toni said she had two buyers ready for my car offering to pay over $1000 of what I listed it in Cars.com. She said she worked with the "Private Seller Network" and all I would have to do is pay an upfront fee of $169. I asked her for a website and more info and she sent me a very poorly written email with the following bogus website:
www.forsalebyowner-auto.com
It is a scam! Stay out of it. The phone number is for Canada too, not even in the U.S!
I received a call from Toni on Oct. 17th. She sent me an email also and in that it said that their website was down and being fixed to be more user friendly, and said that she already has 2 buyers pre-approved for finance of $1,000 over what I am asking for my vehicle. She said to get it done she needs $169.00 to get the ball rolling.
