    Default great cars and trucks: Scam or legit?

    I advertised my blazer in the bargain finder, and a guy called me from "great cars and trucks" claiming his company would sell my suv within a week or i would recieve my money back. But it would cost $150 that he would take by credit card, and when the sale was made i would recieve the money for my vehicle by certified cheque from bank of montreal. He did all of this over the phone not having seen the vehicle. It sure sounds like a scam, but has anyone used this company before or heared about them. Let me know. Thanks

    My gf tryed using them. She has had her 2 cars with them for over a month now and not a single call. She is about to file her rebate forms to get her 150 back. Its not a scam but they are absolutly usless. They sometimes call her to ask if she wants to sign up with them when she already is. They cant keep there shit together. Not worth the trouble dude.

    (well lets hope she can get her money back ok)

    Once you realize how difficult they make it to get your money back, you will see why most people stay away from these scammers.

    Stay away from these guys. I unfortunately gave it a shot and its true that they call you even if you already have an ad running on their website. Never got one phone call from anyone for my car. Also the package that they send you is a joke. The for sale sign that they say they supply is a photocopied sign.

    Do a search there was a post on here not to long ago about these guys (not favourable either) . Wonder if they even have a business license with the City?

    Google can be your friend.

    This is not *entirely* a scam (in that they do occasionally help people sell their vehicles), but I've never heard of anyone actually being able to get their money back.

    to get your refund you need to get a notary.. its a scam dont use it .. they operate out of a tiny call centre (which changes when the rent is due) and calls all of the autotraders across north america to convince them to advertise there, .. its a wack ass company dont do it

    They're even more annoying than the guys who call you from the bargain finder!

    And you can get your money back but you're going to have to pay to get a sworn notarized form stating that you did not sell the car. Often, people dont do it because it costs time and money to get the form. It's a lose-lose situation.

    Hmm.. then they called me the offer was different. They called me three times w/ the same offer. I think it was for $19.95 and it ran for 2 months (some long amount of time) but there was no refund and they said that they send these magazines to households but I've never seen it before.

    Default some scammers are amazing

    Yes it was a scam and really good one. They got me too. I wish I read the hundreds of complaints on www.ripoffreport.com before I send them my 150 from my pention cheque. Btw I just run to the owner of great cars and trucks Craig Mcmorran at the new investor meeting for sweet water koocanusa. He is into new and more amazing scam now.
