Like the compaintants for Auto Sellers Network, I received a telephone call from a representative stating they had several buyers for my vehicle at my asking price. I have it currently listed with www.cars.com and because it is in perfect condition, I am asking top dollar. He told me their company offers financing to buyers who can't qualify elsewhere and these buyers must buy a vehicle listed on their website. Additionally, the buyers are unable to negotiate the price and therefore I would be guaranteed my asking price. (The company would not need to inspect the vehicle.) I would need to pay $500 up front, but my asking price would be $500 higher and the advertising would therefore be free to me. The buyer would be paying the "advertising cost." I told him I would be happy to use them, but would only let them take the $500 off the sales price and send me the check first. Of course he said he could not do that. The reason was the company does not have a broker's license. It sounded very fraudulent to me, so I told him I would need to do some research. <br />
<br />
The address listed is a post office box at Mainly Mail and the lady their said they forward Auto Marketing Group's mail to Canada once a week. She could not give me anymore information. I also came across an "article" written by someone at Auto Marketing Group that advertise their business. The phone number at the bottom of the "article" was 1-888-980-1223 and went to Auto Seller Network. Therefore, since Auto Seller Network has so many complaints against them with the BBB and their accredidation was revoked in 12/2009, they have obviously changed to a new name. STAY AWAY FROM AUTO MARKETING GROUP. IT IS THE SAME AS AUTO SELLERS NETWORK.

| Thanks for the warning..they almost got me. |
|
|
| I was just about to use their services. Then I read this and a couple of other blogs. Glad I didn't send them the ca$h. |
|
|
| They hound you relentlessly too asking for a credit card number. |
|
|
| They unfortunately got me. I am now $500 poorer and have nothing to show for it. I have called then numerous times but their customer service is absolutely terrible. I am not going down without a fight. I didn't sell my vehicle within the 90 days so they should send me my money back. I have Government Proof that I did not sell it... DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM, YOU WILL REGRET IT! |
|
|
| They got a family friend.. Whats the best course of action? Any advice would be great |

| I received a call recently, after posting an ad to sell my car on line. At first they were really nice, explaining in a round about way how their "company" functioned. I requested an email with information regarding the details and fine print. I of course had zero intention of paying that money upfront. To which I was asked "what, you don't have $400". After reading through the website and reviews I decided I didn't want to entertain these phone calls anymore. When they called back to see if I had time to think it over I said I wasn't interested. The guy on the phone freaked out, asking me why I wasted his time and his clients time, that he had someone waiting for the car. Obviously, in my eyes anyway, this is a scam. Stay far away from this place, as the saying goes if it sounds too good to be true, it is!!! |

There are several of these 'sales and financing' companies. I recently listed my luxury car on Cars.com, hoping to invite genuine buyers. I recd. calls from "Longwood Inc." and the from "Auto Marketing Group". Both wanted $100 and $500 respectively to arrange for a buyer/find and finance a buyer etc. Of corse, money up front.
Looking up Google showed several complaints exposing these scams. Caveat Emptor Buyer beware
If it is too good to be true: then it is a fraud |

I am amazed that this type of business practice is even allowed. I recieved a call today, and the JUNIOR SALES REP, which is never a good title by the way and he was the rudest, unprofessional person I have ever talked to in my life. If you're gonna be a scammer, at least do it professionally LOL!
No interest in doing business with anyone asking money before the sale! This has SCAM written all over it. |

I got 2 calls today and I don't know why (since I don't get convinced into weird things) the third person on the phone was a nice lady that convinced me to give her my credit card number. I was on the phone with her more than half an hour and checked their site but at the time I didn't think of checking the forums so I got screwed. After seeing all the comments and not getting the email from them with my login information I tried to called them but couldn't even get through.
Is there a way to fight this back? Could I just dispute the amount on my credit card when they charge it?
There has to be something consumers can do with scam like this. |

I also had 2 people call me with this service today, the latter of the two called me a dumb ass after declining his offer.
The thing that stood out the most in my mind was the fact that they kept asking me questions about the car that were CLEARLY indicated in the ad. They call knowing nothing at all about the car which indicates to me right away that they are reading off a very basic listing database.
Do not fall for this. The number one rule in this case would be: If it sounds too good to be true, it definitely is. |
|
|
| @J13.. I think you can definitely call your credit card and dispute it stating that they had no authorization whatsoever to charge it. Chances are they will investigate and find out it was a scam... ( Unless you have Bank of America- their customer service is awful...) |
|
|
| This happenened to me also. They scamed me and the guy's name is Richard Stone of Nevada. He lied and took my money.. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!!! I am working on getting my money back and I will. Has anyone else gotten thier money back? If so, post how you did please. When I get mine back I will also post. I am also notifiying Wal Mart because this is the big name in which he used to sell his Bull shit.. |
|
|
| This is what you need to do if these people ripped you off also. Call Federal Trade Commision at 1-877-382-4357 and file a complaint. Then Call California Attorney Generals office at: 1-800- 952-5210 make another complaint. Then go to the www.BBB.org website and also file a complaint. It takes a few minutes but is rewarding and it will help to close these scammers down. |

On the phone, the agent promised that if the car didn't sell in 12 weeks, they refund "the fee." In the subsequent E-mail, it shows that the advertising fee of $400 will be refunded (supposedly) but not the $100 listing fee.
I explained that I was not going to tie up my car for 12 weeks because if I purchased another car and they failed to sell mine, I would be stuck with two cars. She replied, "But you will get the fee refunded!" leading me to believe that she was either a very inexperienced salesperson, or not very bright.
I wonder whether the phone operators know that they are participating in a scam? The e-mail is to a general mailbox, info@automarketinggroup.com and will not reach the salesperson.
My offer to anyone out there: Send me $500 and I will promise to sell your car or give you back $400 after 12 weeks.

| I had these mother****ers call me. I knew it was a scam. I told them a legitimate company wouldn't have a blocked number and to quit stealing people's hard earned money and get a legitimate job and a legitimate company and then I hung up. The guy called me back almost 30 times within 5 minutes. Ignoring the calls didn't work. I answered and told him to f off and quit harrassing me. They kept on. The only thing that worked was to answer the phone and just be completely silent and just let it stay on til he got bored and hung up. Isn't that the sign of a legitimate company and legitimate business? |

I don't know if this is a scam or not, as I did not sign up for their services. However, I can confirm all of the horrible experiences on this website. Here is my story...
I listed my car on a popular website and recieved relentless phone calls and emails from their sales staff. Finally, one sales representative got a hold of me and pitched a great sounding offer. The problem was that they wanted $500 up front and my credit card number. I told him I needed to see the offer in writing of some sort of contract before I would give him that information. He said our conversation was being recorded and that that was enough of a contract. I told him I don't do buisness that way. He told me that he had a buyer lined up and that if I didn't sign up now, then we would probably loose them, etc... I told him again I wont do buisness unless I see in writing everything he was offering. He finally relented and said he would sent me information by email. I recieved his information which was not much more than a sales pitch with a link to their website. There was nothing contractual. I did some research and found a lot of negative experiences with this company as well as an "F" with the BBB. I didn't find a single positive comment.
He called me back a few days later. I told him that I wasn't going to do buisness with them. He asked me why not. I told him because I can't find anything possitive about his company and that they had an "F" rating with the BBB. He told me the BBB was a scam. I told him that I hardly think so, but even so, I couldn't find anything positive about his company so I wasn't going to risk it.
At this point he then got angry at me and told me I should have called him before searching the internet. He then accused me of being a liar because I promised to call him. I replied that I had never promised to call him and that I only told him I would review his email. He then accused me again of wasting his time, that he had a buyer ready to buy and now lost them because I didn't pick up the phone the day before, etc...
At this point I called him out on everything he had just said as "one liners" that I had read online were given to others. I told him we were done and there was no reason discuss this any further. He replied that he understood and "thanks for wasting his time". He then hung up.
So that was my experience, you decide if you want to take a risk and do buisness with a company like this. |

| I am in Canada, and was unfortunately taken by these scam artists. I asked them very very specifically what would happen is I sold my own vehicle within this period and I was told that I would need to send my bill of sale and that the money would be refunded. When I said the 400 refund was all fine and dandy but I did not want to pay the $100.00 fee, to which the rep promised that I would be refunded that amount as well but that they usually did not do that for people. I sold my car today (the only reason I went with them was because I was desperate to sell it quickly) and when I called to get the process for my refund I was advised that because I did not wait the 90 day period I would not be getting my money back at all. I ask, if I was aware of this, and desperate to sell me vehicle, why on earth would I give them 90 days? and why or why would I sell it only 20 days before my 90 period was up? I am in the midst of disputing with my credit card company. They told me that the coversation was recorded when I agreed to this but that all subsequent correspondance was not recorded. Conveniently, these were phone calls of both myself and my husband being promised things that were not true. I did read through the contract and then called them again because I noticed it was not exactly what was discussed. They did, however, make their promises again and their contract was conveniently worded to be confusing. I am not sure where to go from here if my credit card company decides that it is legitimate. I don't have any other evidence, although I was sure that they emailed me these guarantees in writing (I know asked my husband to make sure of it) but now I can not locate the email any longer. I guess I need to be less trusting and more careful with my paperwork, but they prey on the desperate I guess. Any advice would be appreciated. |

scam!!! scam!!! scam!!! read this...
i posted my add on kijiji selling my bmw z3 and i got a call from them, his name was jason brown.
he told me that he had a buyer for me but i had to pay $500 first. he said that the 3rd party had bad credit.
thats why he's using him, "automarking" helps people who have bad credit get finance. so this is what he said
that after i paid he will send the 3rd party to my house with the cheque to my name. scam all over this so i called visa and
they said that they will back me up. after i paid the 3rd party didn't want the car anymore. so i called jason and i wanted my money back. he never called back and they said that his not in today (they ask for your tele number) ok i called 15min later
with my number blocked and ask to talk to jason because a friend referred me to him, there he was working away for his hard earn money. so to make a long story short i had to wait 90 days to get my money back right. wrong!!! they told me that when i
first registered with them i had 7 day to mail them a register mail saying that if I'm qualified for full money back refund.
so i did what anyone with visa would do and that is to call them. after telling them everything, they decided to give me ALL my money back thank you VISA!!! not only is it a scam they make money on the interest rate on everyones $500 that they hold for 90 days thats if the person gets all there money back. Its sad to see people settle and accept to work screwing other people for a job that probably pays them $9.50hrs. i guess that las vegas for you a sucker born every min! know the question is who's the sucker they are, or "we" are... |

| Was contacted by "AMG" (Auto Marketing Group) yesterday and given a line that they had a buyer for my 2007 Sebring and needed to get me registered immediately so that they could process the sale. I was asking too many questions and was then handed over to a manager who cut the $500 fee to $250. Fortunately my cell phone battery died and this gave me an opportunity to research "AMG". My sympathy goes out to anyone who has enlisted with these folks because you can kiss away the $100 advertising fee and unless you manage to align your paperwork with the phases of the moon you won't get back the other $400. /lp |
