Anyone get a call from buygreatautos.com? I got a call from them asking for 300$ and my visa number/expiration date. The call goes something like this: They tell you they have a buyer for your car and they want 300$ to put you in touch with the said buyer. They try to come off as a broker or middle man. Lots of fast talk and normal salesman tactics. Promised they would give you your money back if the car did not sell...

Sounded like a lot of :bullshit: to me so I told them to buzz off. Some guy over in BC I think judging from the caller ID. Anyone else have any experience from this? I think they found my number and contact info from the autotrader...
