Default Heads up to anybody selling on autotrader!

Hey everyone, sorry if this is the wrong forum, but Just wanted to give the heads up to anyone that is considering using autotrader.com to sell a vehicle. An unknown number keeps calling my cell phone and leaving automated messages about using there company "longwood industries" to gaurentee the sell of my car in 90 days for a price of 90 dollars. I researched them and found tons of complaints, def. a Scam....I called them back multiple times and finally after a few threats of reporting them to better bussiness I got my number off thier list....hopefully. Just a heads up! Anybody else had this experience? Tom

I've had the same scammer call me about a truck I sold on Cars.com.

The scammer called my number 3 times, even though I told him the truck was sold during first call!

I was just thinking about using auto trader. I guess it's back to Craig's list.

These scam people come anywhere your car is posted with a phone number. Just tell them to **** themselves when they call.....takes all of two seconds - and it really makes you feel better some times
