BEWARE OF Automotive USA.com!

Their NOT To they claim to be!
They recently called me from an ad I placed in craigslist, Glen was the name of the fast talking sales rep.
They dont advertise a phone number, address, etc.
there's no way to contact this company when they dont respond to your emails! I've left over 10 to 15 calls, at least.
After they took my credit card over the phone, I was told I would get a call bk to discuss the "photos".
Needless to say, NEVER once heard from these con artist.
in 5 years they've changed their name more than 5, 6 times! This is their 6th web site (at least). They could care less about selling vehicles, this company will tell you whatever they have to in order to get your credit card.
In case you find yourself a victim of Automotive USA.com, my best solution is listed below...

Automotive USA.com Scam Alert Get A Refund
DON'T LET Automotive USA SCAM YOU?
Automotive USA SOLD YOUR CAR YET?

HOW TO GET AN EASY REFUND:

1. Call your credit card company and dispute the charge, it doesn’t matter how long ago you signed with Automotive USA. If you dispute the charge you will automatically get your money back.

2.You should state that Automotive USA made a fraudulent charge to your credit card.

State that you never gave Automotive USA final authorization to bill you

State that you called Automotive USA, they told you “no refund” because they had already built an ad for your vehicle.

State that you looked up the ad they claimed to have built, you saw a very poor quality product.

Automotive USA may be using a stock photo and not advertising your vehicle.

You can state you feel Automotive USA is scamming you.

IMPORTANT – Tell your credit card company you never signed and returned the Automotive USA privacy policy and that any advertising agreement Automotive USA produces with your name on it is fraud.

3. You are going to win your dispute

BEWARE IF YOUR SELLING A HIGH END VEHICLE

I listed my car on Craig's List and almost immediately was called by automotiveusa.com. They told me how they could get more for my car than what I was advertising it for. This man's name was glen johnson (not sure of the spelling). I called back within two hours and asked to cancel my contract. A person named chuck informed me that this was not an option. He also informed me that they had me recorded accepting the offer. I knew then that I had been scammed. No reputable company would do this to a customer. I tried to dispute this charge on my Edward Jones Mastercard and they said I couldn't. They must endorse scams.

They have put a cheap classified ad, thats it!
on a boring site that is no where to be found in the search engines!
If you are considering automotiveusa.com to sell your vehicle, please don't! It is one of the biggest rip offs / SCAMS on the net, and your credit card company will not do anything to stop it.-

I wonder if they have ever sold a car?

I think AutomotiveUSA should be investigated. What would the President think of a Company like this ripping off the consumers. $399 is a lot of money and some of us need every penny.
Automotive USA sounds like its ran from a drug house. I dont suggest anybody get sucked in by this SCAM!
www.AutomotiveUSA.com
formerly known as iTrustMotors, sellitnowmotors.com, and there another 2 to 3 names they've changed to in the last 5 years alone! Beware as their not ho they say they are!

Now it is 6 months later (changed their name!) and i have never even received a call. They didn't even post the ad right and can't change it now. the sales woman had no problem taking my money though. Amy was her name. I think I was stupid for doing it. She was relentless, kept calling. Wanted 499 to start and then offered me 399. Not sure if it is even being advertised still. If anyone is looking I have a 2001 KZ Sportsmen Sportster, please let me know. Automotive USA is the BIGGEST SCAM I have EVER witnessed! As if this situation couldnt get any worse, 3 days after giving automotive usa my credit card, I had multiple FRAUD charges appearing on my credit card act.
Its appears automotive usa, or the sales rep rather, used my credit card to buy dinner that week.
Not sure why this companies still in business, but dont supect it will be much longer until this automotive scam is run into the ground, rather it be the Attorney General, or FBI...SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO STOP THESE THIEVES!
they provide no service to the sellers, and are strictly in business in order to collect as many credit cards as they can, until they determine their getting too much "heat", thats when they change their web site, and their business name.
Why would http://automotiveusa.com/ NOT even provide an address of location?
Oh, I know why!

Because their a complete and total SCAM!

I had this guy called Matt from AutomotiveUSA.com which promised me that he could sell my car for $1000 dollars more than what I asked, for but of course he wanted for me to pay him $300 for marketing purposes (yea right). So I told him that if he sold my car for $1000 more he could just get his costs of the sales price. When he found himself cornered and without any argument he became rude.

Whatever you do never give out your credit card number to these thieves.
They give you absolutely no guarantees.

I looked them up in Nevada’s better business bureau, and they are not even a member. Further more they have ridiculous complaints of people giving their credit cards to them and then never hearing a word from them again. Some people getting robed of $300 to $500 and up. AutomotiveUSA.com is a joke.

They have other affiliates so watch out. (itrustmotors.com sellitnowmotors.com, etc) same scam just different names, lets take down AutomotiveUSA immediately!

AutomotiveUSA.com is such a scam, they don't even offer a place of address or phone number! beware of this SCAM!

I placed my car on KSL our local web service in the attempt to sell my 2006 Mitsubishi Endeavor. A few weeks I got a call from Automotive USA, they claimed that they can sell my vehicle and I could get more than what I was asking for it and for $399 their platinum service they would sell it within 6 days or my money back.
Well one month came and gone and not even a single offer so I call to inquire about my refund they said all I had to do is send in the paperwork and I should get a check or credit within 10 days.
I received a letter from Automotive USA stating that I didn’t meet Automotive USA "POLICY" requirement and my request was denied.
I know I did everything they asked of me but still my request was denied. I just want anyone out there that is considering using Automotive USA to please reconsider. Automotive USA is nothing short of thieves.

Company information:

Automotive USA.com

United States

www.AutomotiveUSA.com

I had my Harley on the web, Automotive USA called and said they could get top dollar, much more than what I had on the web. The sales man was sleezy and said he was being taped so if there was anything he was saying that was not true it could be reviewed by his superiors. His boss or so called boss promised the world and said they sold many bikes just like mine for much more money. Kept calling and even said "as soon as your bike is listed, I "GUARANTEE IT WILL SELL"

five months later, nothing!

Now even if I sell the bike, I am down $299 more. Customer service does Not exist for the most part.

www.AutomotiveUSA.com Not going to scam ANYMORE of my money!

The salesman also gave me his personal number and said to call if I have any questions, guess what, the number goes to his automotive usa voice mail, he will not call back and customer service will not answer their phone.

automotive usa "customer service phone number"

Good Luck!

www.AutomotiveUSA.com Before this company they had a name of sellitnow.com, itrustmotors and expertautos.com. Same owner and the same company. They did a 90 day money back guarantee with sellitnow and took peoples money. A good company does not change domain names like this.

Stay clear of www.automotiveusa.com
