Also, I don't have a car listed. I did have an add on craigslist, but not for a car. This guy did not act like he was trying to do anything with sales, he was trying to tell me I won some cruise package, I am pretty sure if I had let him continue he would have informed me of some fees or taxes that applied. I just want people to be aware that there are several scam choices from this number. Please, be smart and google the number!
THis is from some one trying to sell your car for a fee, Not sure if they are genuine, if you put an ad for your car, they take your number from there and call you.
Yeah i think it's a scam. From what I've read, they take $500 from you to copy and paste your ad (one that you've already posted for free) and post it on their sites ... "Guaranteeing" that you'll sell your vehicle. Supposedly if it doesn't sell in 60 days you'll get your money back ... but i believe in the fine print you'll see that you need to jump through several hoops to get anything back ... and even then they keep $100 anyway.
Red flags went up when they told me that i'd make more money selling the vehicle through them than i was advertising it for. Why wouldn't they just buy it and keep the profit? SCAM!!
Guy calls me - just starts rhyming off options my car has and you can hear he is in a phone room and reading off a screen. I stop to ask where he is calling from - California. then just keeps plowing away with his questions.
I ask who he is and why he is calling about a car listed in Ontario Canada - I want to buy your car sir.
I ask what is the purpose of his call - he just says "well sir if answering my questions is too hard for you I'll give my money to someone else" and hung up.
