Greatcarsandtrucks.com put charges on my credit card immediatly and charged more than was quoted. Alberta Canada Internet

Even if you met all required demands by gc&t they still don't send your refund because the entire company is a scam. I don't believe they sell one single car ever.
I believe they have know interest in selling cars at all.
I believe the only business this company is interested in is getting suckers to pay for a service that they really don't even offer. The company is making its money on charging credit cards for a fake service.
Fight Back for GOD SAKES!

Beware Doing Business with Great Cars and Trucks.com
Date: May 16, 2007

BEWARE DOING BUSINESS with GREAT CARS AND TRUCKS

The San Diego, South Central Ontario and Atlanta BBBs share a warning with other BBBs about a company that is abusing the name of autotrader, a member of the BBB.

The BBB has been receiving reports from hundreds of consumers who are advertising cars for sale in Auto Trader that they are receiving calls from Great Cars and Trucks, a Canadian company with the following contact info:

greatcarsandtrucks.com

1011 UPPER JAMES, HAMILTON, ON L9C 3A6

(905) 389-2271

offering to buy their cars but hundreds of complaints warning that they are being greatly misled by these calls from greatcarsandtrucks.com.

Consumer complaints allege that after placing an ad in Auto Trader, they are receiving calls from Great Cars and Trucks claiming to have buyers interested in their vehicles. For a small fee, the company states that it will put the car seller in contact with the potential buyers that Great Cars and Trucks claims to have.

Based on BBB files, this company has an extreamly high unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to unanswered complaint(s). This Company claims to have a success rate for sale of your used car and guarantees money back if the sale does not take place. The customer money back guarantee is vague in detail at best.

Consumers are cautioned to be very mindful before signing any contracts. It is very important to be fully aware of when your ad date took effect as this is the date of importance with regard to the money back guarantee. The consumer will only have seven days to make application for monetary reimbursement based upon the ad date. The contractual clauses referencing the money back guarantee are somewhat confusing as reported by members of the public.

The BBB cautions any consumer interested in selling a used car to carefully read and review any contract you may enter into with Great Cars and Trucks.com.

According to a recent news report done by XETV FOX6, San Diego, on these circumstances, Auto Trader has sent a Cease and Desist letter to Great Cars and Trucks but the company hasn't responded, and when AutoTrader.com attempted to contact the company directly, they were hung up on. Auto Trader has released this statement about its situation:

'AutoTrader.com is committed to providing car buyers and sellers an honest online marketplace that respects their personal information. Among our measures to prevent misuse is the site's Visitor Agreement, which provides in pertinent part that visitors may not 'use our website to promote without our prior written permission, any other website, product or service.' That assures our seller customers their information won't be misappropriated, and that they won't be harassed or taken advantage of in any way by anyone not using the site to purchase the cars they are selling.


'When vendors of other goods and services violate our Visitor Agreement by harvesting a seller customer's contact information and using such information for their own commercial purposes, we respond aggressively to protect the integrity of our site and the rights of our customers.'
