This is regarding "Auto Marketing Systems";  aka: "Longwood, Inc";  aka: "Longwood Industries, Inc"
& the unsolicited person who called me was "Matt".  Since the caller ID was "Out of Area", I let it go to voice mail, whereupon, a person named "Matt" from "Longwood Inc." left a message stating he could help me out selling my car that I had placed on Craigslist so just call him at (888) 550-2703. 

I returned the call a few hours later after conducting a thorough search of "Longwood Inc." using startingpage.com (The Only Private Search Engine) search on internet.  Besides arming myself with the other reports from "Ripoffreport"; especially a (D-) BBB report from the BBB of Western Virginia here: <http://www.bbb.org/western-virginia/Business-Reviews/auto-listing-service/longwood-industries-inc-in-bedford-va-9004961> which included 647 complaints filed against this business along with 36 serious complaints filed against this business. 

After compiling this information I called and "Matt" was not in, so I got to talk to "Valerie".  She told me that she has buyers right now interested in my vehicle willing to pay my price but, first I had to part with $149.00 to her company for the privilege of having their company work as a middle man. 

I told her: "the business model you are working under is extremely flawed as here you have customers coming to you, in fact soliciting you, to find them a car to buy without incurring a cost, and then Your Company contacts me unsolicited and wants me to pay a finders fee of $149.00 instead of the people going to you and requesting your services.  I never requested your services, lady you & your company are literally operating on the wrong end of the stick!  I then mentioned the BBB report to her and she responded by stating That I should have been watching "20/20" or "60 Minutes" when they did a report on how untrustworthy the BBB is!  Instead, she stated that I should visit:

(((link redacted)))  which No Surprise gives the company a pristine rating.  Incidentally,  make sure you check out their website: < http://www.amsvehiclesales.com/> and make sure you take notice that there is no mention to buyers that their service is free, in fact it doesn't even cater to buyers, only to sellers!  Listen very carefully and you will hear alot of mis-leading statements and outright lies!  Don't be one of the "Sheeple" they're looking for & make sure you wear your waders!!  Research, Research, Research!
