Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I got a call from a Richard Shields, on June 27, 2012, saying he was from Car Aquire and his personal phone number was 1-877-694-3919 (which is the company's phone number if it is a viable company).  He said he had a potential owner from Sarnia, Ontario.  That they look after the financing and the buyer had been approved.  He also said that I would get a call from his manager giving me a 9 digit number that I needed when I go to either the Bank of Nova Scotia or Bank of Montreal.  He said I would be refunded by the buyer paying the amount I did for the deposit 599.95 there is an exchange rate included.  I feel that the exchange rate that they are charging is way too much.

On their site they have my car as listed as 11900.  This is the price of 11,400 = 500.00.

The when they were asking more questions, in their speel they said we do not have potential buyers at this time that I would only be refunded back 300 +.  I would loose the 125 but the exchange of what ever it is of 99.95.

When I was giving them my information, I had a funny feeling.  I thought I was ok...I don't remember them asking for my CVV #.  I felt the transaction would not go through.  But it did, it was applied to my visa yesterday (June 29/2012).

The whole approach gave me the feeling something was not right.

They did not call me back and give me the 9 digit number.  They did not e-mail me with information where I was to down load my car's pictures.

They got my information off of KiJiJI.  They copied the pics from Kijiji.com.

I am upset.

I believe they are ripping off customers left and right.

I tried to look up their company through the American white pages.  No luck.  I tried to look up the phone #...no such phone number.  That to me means the person was using a cell phone.

The address that they list is for a plaza but there is no sign of them being there.

Missed The Easy Warning Flags

#2Consumer Suggestion

Sun, July 01, 2012

1) Do a reverse lookup on the street address, minus the suite #. It's the address of a Pak Mail store. A rented mailbox. A maildrop.

2) Domain registgration for the website is private (cloaked owner).

3) Do a reverse lookup on the phone number. Scam warnings.

Three BIG red flags.

Call your credit card company and dispute the charge. They'll have to fully identify themselves then. I think they'll pass on the challenge.
