Its all over the news - greatcarsandtrucks.com are a fraud. They false advertise that they are an online website for people looking to sell their cars to go through them for a small fee of $99-$199 to advertise on their site.
Well apparently thousands of people have paid the $99 and gotten no calls or their money back...as the company promised "money back guarentee" in the contract if the car doesnt sell within a certain amount of time (I think it was 3 months).
Since Global did an investigation on them, the owner altered their website so that the "money back gaurentee" was no longer visible.
Anyways, funny thing is, a few years ago I remember dropping my little brother off at this place for an interview (when this place was in the NE by the Blockbuster), and this place was totally fishy. It was ran out of some dump and the people working there, I could just smell it, were very suspicious. I ended up convincing my brother to not accept the job anyways.
I hope the owner gets shot for taking peoples money and running. They also have another site/store located in Vancouver (forgot the name sorry) and its ran by the same thief. And god knows how many people they have ripped off from there.
From what I heard there are over 5000 victims in the past year and this company heavily tries to get in touch with the people who advertise in the auto trader to try to scam them out $99-200.
5000+ people @ $99-200 ea...you do the math. Quite a bit of cash.
Now we all know how the owner is able to afford that 75k Mercedez.
