Recently Craigslist.org has posted a warning message on their site “[ OFFERS TO SHIP CARS ARE 100% FRAUDULENT ]” under for sale / wanted > cars & trucks category section. Craigslist is advising consumers to deal with the auto transport companies and drivers directly and in person, rather than online. In this post, Progressive Auto Relocation Inc. would like address the above notice by letting the consumer know that, YES there are some shady, unlicensed and unprofessional companies on Craigslist that are doing business. Progressive Auto Relocation Inc. is a licensed, bonded and insured auto transporter who has successfully transported thousands of cars for our customers nationwide.
Here are some tips to help you stay away from fraudulent companies who are only after your money.
- Verify the company you are dealing with if they are a licensed and insured auto transporter by checking out their credentials on: WhichTransporter.com
- If the company does not post their MC number, office location, or any phone numbers – these are signs that they are trying to hide something.
- Google the company’s name and see what comes up.
- Visit user generated review websites and read the company’s feedback.
Always verify the authenticity of a car shipping company as well as their contact info to make sure you are actually dealing with a shipper rather than a scam artist who will take your cash. Progressive Auto Relocation Inc. is your trusted and reliable auto transport who has hundreds of satisfied customers. Just Google our name.
