WI Simonson Mercedes Benz

WI Simonson Mercedes-Benz in Santa Monica SCAMMED Me Out of $128,000 Bait & Switch Fraud

I wired $128,000 to WI Simonson Mercedes-Benz based on a vehicle they advertised across Cars.com, Edmunds, KBB, and their own website. The listings all screamed about the luxury features in ALL CAPS and the sales rep, Reza, confirmed them on the phone multiple times.

Heres what they claimed the car had:

FRONT AXLE LIFT

SPORT EXHAUST SYSTEM

SPORT DESIGN FRONT FASCIA

EXTENDED DASHBOARD AND DOOR PANEL PACKAGE IN LEATHER

WHEELS PAINTED IN EXTERIOR COLOR

EXTENDED RANGE FUEL TANK

HERITAGE DESIGN INTERIOR PACKAGE

I trusted them.

I wired the money. I was excited. And when the car arrived? NONE of those options were actually on it.

Not a single one.

They didnt just omit something minor. They completely misrepresented the car a classic bait-and-switch. And now theyve ghosted me and refused to take responsibility.

This wasnt an honest mistake. This was deceptive sales at a luxury price point.

Shameful, unethical, and totally unacceptable.

If youre thinking of doing business with WI Simonson, dont walk RUN the other direction.

They are smooth talkers until they have your money. Then youre left with a car thats nothing like what you paid for, and no one willing to make it right.

Ill be reporting this to every agency possible BBB, FTC, California DMV, Mercedes Corporate and leaving this review anywhere someone might think about trusting these crooks.
