Yup...he called me too.
I advertised on Autotrader.ca and he called me and told me the same things. He would sell my car and he went on and on. He called me twice. I said the car was sold to get the f****r off my back.
HE DELETED MY AD!!
If I had the address for this guy - my husband said he'd go visit him - and DELETE HIM!!
same thing as the guy above - talked with a guy named "Steven Pratt" and he said they had buyers in the area ready to buy but they need my credit card information now.
Someone on sept 23 245 pm by the name of steve pratt phoned me from that number and made promises to sell my truck advertised in used victoria for $1000.00 more than I had advertised it for and asked for my credit card number to pay him $395.00 in advance for this service. i figured it was a scam and so i tryped the phone number in google and here we are he said he would phone me back today i will propose to meet and pay him cash see what he says then hahahahahahah
Had the exact same thing happen. I posted my truck on Kijiji, and the next day "Steven Pratt" called and said he could sell it for $26,000 firm, $1200 more than I was asking, if I paid $399 up front (which included a 60-day money back guarantee). I found his call suspect, but was considering his offer. Luckily I came across these postings and others confirming his BS. Private Vehicle Exchange is the company name.
