    Great Cars and Trucks ??

    My vehicle is on AUTOTRADER and I was solicited by a company called Great cars and trucks. They said they could sell my car ASAP and would do it for only 159 once it sold and they guaranteed it sold by the weekend.

    They then asked for my credit card. They are located in Canada.

    This seems like a huge scam and I obviously did not go through with it.

    Does anyone else know about this company?

    Not only is it a scam but a blatant one at that. How would a company in Canada make a sales transaction quicker for you is an obvious tip off for starters. Them immediately asking for YOUR credit card number is a huge tip off. Why would you be paying them to SELL anything? YOu already paid for your ad, hence you hoping you find a buyer. I would send them an email about how you took 159 bucks and rolled it into a blunt because at least you got as high as they are when they solicited you lol

    They even have a website and stuff trying to be legit. The guy said I have a buyer here right now, what a bunch of crap.

    Anyways, I wanted everyone aware. Thanks.

    Yeah, i've def. heard of the autotrader scams before, never knew of anyone that got solicited by one. Just goes to show that you can't be a dumbfuck on the internet anymore.
