Auto Seller Network Complaint - Fraud or not a fraud - Selling My Vehicle

Selling My Vehicle - Complaint
Review by jjackson on 2009-10-21
ARIZONA -- I'm not going to say these people are 100% fraud just yet. I was selling a vehicle on autotrader.com and craigs list. I kept getting phone calls from auto seller network. There pitch goes like this, we have contacts nobody else has and can sell vehicles quicker than any one else. They go on and on. I agreed to pay them around 499 and if it didn't sale I would be out of 100 dollars. The next day came and I was skeptical about giving them money up front. I could not find an e-mail they were suppose to send me I went all over it with no luck. I had to wait for my credit card statement to find a number to call them. I then called them and was told I had to wait 90 days. she said we would send you a check. So I wrote down the 90th day on a piece of paper. after the 90th day came a couple of days later I contacted them and they said I had to send out forms and I only had 7 days to have it sent to them. If I sold the car and my neighbor bought the vehicle, I would not get a refund at all. I also had to get a power of attorney to see if I still had the vehicle. This is my complaint they were not honest up front about the 7 day policy and it has been a month and no refund. If they refund me I might add to this to the review.

Hmmmm... I think you've just been had.
But, Craig's list isn't really better either. People can send fraudulent checks for the vehicle as well. If you don't make sure the checks are legit first before sending the vehicle, you'd be out of both money and vehicle.
If it does turn out to be a scam, there's probably legal recourse you can take.
Instead of going through Craig's list, might could put in a local ad for the vehicle.
I hope it works out.
