Great Cars and Trucks

Was ripped off for 200 bucks by this company, the scam isn't only in america it was in canada too, have tried for 2 months to contact them through email and phone but the phones have been disconnected and the website has now been suspended, and never got a reply from the emails. If anyone from this company is reading, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

I highly suggest that you hang up the phone if you are contacted by this company, please do yourself a favour and hang up!

You will not recieve the promised refund if your car does not sell, and they won't even list your car under the right make or model.

Scam Masters

Great Cars and Trucks are great at one thing: separating a fool from his money. They sure scammed me out of $139.95.

Never received 1 call on my car. This very polite woman named Sara told me she had several people already interested in my Honda Accord and they would contact me as soon as I signed up for their service. She claimed it was much better than cars.com or any other online ad service because they already had pre-approved buyers interested in my specific vehicle.

What a line of bull. I never got 1 call on the car, even after I called Sara the liar several times

Great Cars & Trucks a Scam

I was called by these scam artists in August and paid $189.47. I never received one call from there website and getting in touch with someone for information was ridiculous.

I waited the 90 days to send in my money back guarantee form as per policy and today when I went to find the phone number on the website it's been suspended! These guys are scammers and I want to know if anyone knows how to start a class action suit against them? If there are four of us on this website there has to be many more! Email me at www.qbnnv@***.com

Great cars and trucks strikes again!

Great Cars and Trucks scammed me out of $180. Eugene called me up with great confidence that he could sell my truck in two weeks, and he was very persuading.

I actually called back for about two weeks and always talked to another male or female. This is very frustrating to see that this continues to go on. If anyone gets any headway in finding these scammers please post it for others to get back what is rightfully theirs.

I will make a call to the better business bureau so maybe a possible customer might call and check before purchasing this bogus service.

Money back Gaurantee....that's a joke

Do not advertise on this site. No phone calls were received from this $150 advertising.

And now the website has been suspended and phone numbers are disconnected...Kent Ward was the person I dealt with whom suddenly has disappeared. Don't waste your money on this site. They wanted a guarenter to sign that the vessel was still for sale and that was a hassle to get, then they brag about their salesmanship percentages that are a hoax as well.

They told me this is the number 1 site for selling a car, boat or a truck but yet I had never heard of it before..I did not think to check it out at the better business bearau but I will from now on...

The latest television report on great cars and trucks

ftp://virstream.bowdens.com/Client_Media/D991**-**.wmv

I'm hopping that lowlife company and that Craig suffers a horrible death soon!

I have watched this con artist *** people out of money more than I care to mention. It amazes me that the officials haven't caught on that he doesn't have a website that's even connected to the outside world so that people can even find him on the Internet. I don't think great cars and trucks has even sold one vehicle in the past two years that in itself should tell you what kind of lowlife Craig and his buddies truly are!

Great cars and trucks scammed me

I was another victim of great cars and trucks. They promised me they would have my car sold in a few weeks and it has been three months with no calls back.

They sounded like a great company to go with, but they are fakers. I lost $99 to them. To make it worse, someone cut and pasted my VIN and is now selling MY car on other websites for a fraction of what I am selling it for. A word of advice is to google your VIN and see if pops up on other websites.

I got a phone call from a buyer who got scammed off of someone selling my car from another state. Please post any further.

Great cars and trucks SCAM

this company is absolutely 100% bs. i have been lied to and cheated out of $174 from great cars and trucks.

false claims and bad business, do yourself a favor and hang up when they call. i am currently disputing my fraudulent charges from great cars and trucks with my bank and have been doing so now for upwards of four months in counting. the two phone numbers that were issued to me from great cars and trucks have both been disconnected, i haven't received any information regarding my car since the initial call i received, and it all adds up to one bad decision...

great cars and trucks is stealing money from hard working Americans who deserve what is promised to them. this company should be ashamed-

Charges laid....see report

July 29, 2010

Online auto sales company faces charges

Edmonton... The Alberta government has charged Calgary-based internet sales company GreatCarsandTrucks.com for misleading consumers about its services and refund guarantee.

“Alberta’s Fair Trading Act makes it illegal for businesses to deceive consumers,” said Heather Klimchuk, Minister of Service Alberta, responsible for consumer protection. “There can be serious consequences for companies that refuse to follow the rules, including stiff fines and even jail time.”

The company contacted people who placed ads in auto sales publications and promised it could sell their vehicles online within 90 days or consumers would get a full refund. Consumers paid between $100 and $200 to advertise on the company’s site, but the company allegedly refused to give the money back when the vehicles did not sell.

Service Alberta received numerous complaints about the company from consumers in Alberta, Ontario and the United States. The investigation involved other consumer protection agencies including Canada’s Competition Bureau and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission.

GreatCarsandTrucks.com (registered as 117**** Alberta Ltd.), director Audrey Schmid and principal operator Craig McMorran are each charged under the Fair Trading Act with:

• seven counts of representing consumer rights and remedies that did not exist;

• seven counts of representing that services will be supplied within a stated period when there is no intention to do so; and,

• seven counts of misleading or deceiving consumers.

Service Alberta investigates consumer complaints and enforces the Fair Trading Act. Consumers can learn more about their rights online at www.servicealberta.ca or by calling the Consumer Contact Centre at 1-87*-***-**** (toll-free in Alberta).

I did this last February. I never got 1 call.

I sent in my money back form last may with no reply. They've got $159 of my money. I did get a hold of someone on the phone last October...all they said was you need to send an email and give them time to reply. No reply as of 2/25/2008.

Total scam!!! We all got suckered...

Great Cars and Trucks

I have an identical situation with the same company and individual. I will aslo be calling the BBB as well as my lawyer to get my $180 back.

Eugene sold me on the same scenario and their money back gaurantee is so tedious when you actaully try to get it back after the 90 days. I hope they get what they deserve and I hope I get me money back. I called on several occasions and they just kept telling me that they would call me back. This happened about 20 times.

I give up.

They can now go to H3ll.....

I also have been scammed by them. They said that they had buyers in our area.

I was a little worried but I have a family and really needed to sell my vehicle in order to pay bills and buy groceries for 3 kids. I waited my 90 days and got all the paperwork that was required to send over. I sent it, left messages, and never heard back. Now I am out $200 that we couldnt afford to lose.

We are so far in debt and my son has many medical bills that we have to pay due to his hearing aides and alopecia issues. What a mess!:(

Great cars and trucks - never returned car or money

After never receiving a call for my car that was for sale, the companys phone numbers have been dis-connected.

For the last 9 weeks we have called requesting information for our refund... no response and now this... nice to know that there are such responsible and trustworthy people in the world.... what comes around goes around.... Eugene and Walter never returned any calls. Great way to do business. Hopefully no one else will have this problem getting their money back. Never again will we do anything like this over the internet.

Sad sad way to do business.

bye
