   This is one of the classic "internet scams" going around for those who are unaware of the slick marketing tricks used by this internet company that prays on consumers who are trying

to sell their cars. The sales person makes a cold call - finding your car ad from a local magazine - in my case - Auto Trader - and contacting me to say that their advertising is better because they don’t accept ads from dealers only private parties. They guarantee your car will sell within 6 to 8 weeks if it is priced at the market value. They also claim that they are more successful than Auto Trader or other ads because they offer financing and shipping to any place in the U.S. They claimed that your car goes on the front page of Yahoo.com and other car auctions on the internet. I was called by two different salesmen from OneStopMotors.com, and when I finally called back, both of these salesmen were no longer available, and another one took their place. He promised me that I would no longer have to pay a car payment, insurance and so forth, as his internet ad company had the best arrangement for car sales. He said 80% of their customers don’t mind paying for shipping to ship the car from California (where I live) to anywhere in the U.S. as part of the financial deal. He even called my daughter’s phone and gave her the same sales pitch. Since I was having no luck selling my car through Auto Trader, I looked on his web site and saw the price ranges for the advertising. The less expensive rates had been x-ed out and the "premium" price was the only one available: $450. I told the salesman that was too high as I only paid $60 for AutoTrader. He continued to emphasize the differences between OneStopMotor.com and Auto Trader and stated with confidence that I would have no problem selling my car within 8 weeks. After I gave him my credit card no., I never heard from him again. I called the customer service no. and was told to deal with them only. I called several times within the next 2 months, and was told I would have to be more patient. That was August 2006. I never heard back from them, so I can only assume no one ever even inquired about my car. They are located in Las Vegas, NV. I complained to my credit card co., American Express, and they were unable to do anything, and for the most part, believed the owner of the company, who wrote a long letter stating that I signed a contract (which I never was shown on their web site) and gave them my "digital signature!" I don’t even know what a "digital signature looks like, let alone having given one. This company needs to be investigated because they are undoubtedly taking big chunks of money from alot of trusting people and are not being scrutinized for their unethical, and possibly illegal business practices!
