Review: There are two ads in the paper that attempts to appear as a legitimate business but are not. When contacted they both refer you to American River Aut
I wanted to sell my old car for scrap so I looked in the News and Observer Newspaper and came across two ads under automotive misc. section that they would buy any junk vehicle for $325. Upon placing the call, I described the year, make and model of my vehicle. They then said they would pay me the money and said that I have to call dispatch and arrange for pickup. They then asked me for my name and address and told me to call this number: XXX-XXX-XXXX. I called the number and they greeted me as American River Auto. I made the call on Wednesday and was told that someone in my area will come and pick up the car and present me a check. I said in bewilderment, "huh, I thought it would be cash". They assured me that they do this all the time. I was told to get my title notorised in which I did. I was told that the car should be picked up on Friday anytime between 8:00Am to 4:00PM. I was then told that the driver should give my a call prior to picking up car. The day of pickup, no one called me. I called back and asked when is my time for pickup. I was told that the driver had left me a message(Which they did not). Did wanted to reschedule a pickup and I told them that I was not able to be available for the new arranged date. They then told me that that was ok and asked me if I could leave the car unlocked with my title and keys in it. They did assured me that they would send my a check in the mail later. I said NO WAY!!! I then immediately stop dealing with them and called the other number in the ad. Sure enough, this person referred me to the same company. I couldn't believe it. I then decided to do some research on the company and found out they were no longer in business. The numbers listed in the News and Observer were: XXX-XXX-XXXX and XXX-XXX-XXXX.Desired Settlement: None - just providing some useful information (hopefully).
