Car City Auctions , East London - Masters of con

Beware this company are nothing but a bunch of very smooth talking con artists that ****med me out of R 70 000.00 How it works.... adverts appear on TROVIT search engine for numerous cars about to go on auction with very low base prices . On further enquiry ( by their given cell phone numbers) it is explained that the cars have been re-possessed and the " small amount" outstanding is simply the amount outstanding to the bank which the bank is more than happy with to clear the car off their books. It is then explained that the selected car is due to go on auction later that day or early the next morning but should you pay an immediately cleared deposit, the car would be withdrawn from the auction, delivered to your premises, test driven by yourself and then only only be paid for in full within an hour of you having received the car. The confidence in which they operate is well practiced- first dealing with a sales rep ( Prins) then the head of department, ( Ryan) phones back as well as Vincent who appeared to be branch manager. They all are well versed in their products, saying all the right sales talk. Eventually even the so called " owner" a Mrs Katherine Webb aka Kate even phoned me and mentioned that they had been in business for over 4 years. She gave me her personal guarantee that they were a legitimate company and was prepared to give me her identity number as surety. On questioning her about photographs of the car in front of a display not being theirs, she blamed her " marketing department" for not following her instructions and sorting it. Bottom line is I have lost more than R 70000.00 . Needless to say , they do longer answer my calls, mails or requests. Their address at 4 Main Road, Amalindi , East London does not exist . Do not fall for Kate's sworn affidavit involving a factitious warrant officer class 1 .He no longer works for the SAPS and is likely part of the ****. On further enquiry to their " neighbours" it was mentioned that Car City Auctions had been ****ming people for years. Please report it to your police if you have been part of this ****
