This company is a broker, matching buyers and sellers of used cars, boats, rvs, etc. They receive payments from the buyer and basically pocket all/most of the money instead of passing on to the seller's lien holder, per the contract. They may even be operating as a theft ring. ie. When I pressed them on not making payments for past six months, my car conveniently was stolen from the buyer.

There have been numerous (hundreds?) of complaints made to date, and there has been legal action taken in the past, and pending actions currently. Best thing to do if you have been scammed by this company is to file an online complaint with the Michigan State Attorney General and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
There is a ton of information online to back up my allegations.

I want to preface this by saying that I have no experience with this company.
I was contacted by "Coast 2 Coast Marine" out of St. Augustine, Florida and pitched the same thing as described in the compalint about my boat.
I had them send me the listing agreements and sample buying agreement and saw where "Equitable Monetary Instruments" was involved and googled them.
So I believe this is another organization to whom you are referring to.
