Be on Alert to the Following Auction Scam Sites: July, 2009 Report

The following auction scam site(s) listed below have received multiple scam reports and complaints from consumers who failed to receive what the site owner(s) claimed to offer within their advertising.

Note: We can not and do not side with either party (complaint filer and/or site owners) but are simply keeping our readers informed by passing along what is being filed with various online fraud agencies.

Auction-Repos.com

Be careful of Pay Per Click sites on the right margin. This Brooklyn, NY boat auctions scam site lures visitors with 'Free Repo' listings after they submit their email address. Doing so does two things:

You will receive multiple email offers (spam) from other third party sources. Then you will be sent another link pointing you to a pay per view 'auction' site whereby you again submit your name and email?? Surprisingly the 'free' offer was a simple front to another paying offer.

The Auto Auction Spot

This site is sometimes seen as boats.autoauctionspot.com and as its web URL implies attempts to front itself as a repo 'boat auctions' site. Suprisingly its actually an auto auction site?! The underlying site to this front is car-auction.com.

But to be fair to the site owner(s) and the affilate of this site we reviewed the site by paying the membership fee of $24.99. Prior to signing up, we selected a boat from the drop down menu and awaited the 'database search' for a 1955 Repo Sea Ray in California......What do ya know! It was found!? That's mirace.

Especially considering Sea Ray was not even founded until 1959, four years later!

In our opinion the advertising claims are indeed fraudulent compared to information provided. Of course no such Sea Ray was actually for auction. The site owner was unable to be contacted since no means of contact or support are available on their website.

Other claims from ripoffreport.com and scam.com have numerous claims from customers who have referenced the same as simply an auction scam that left them disappointed and a few bucks poorer. The link below evidences this point:

Car-Auction.com Scam

Again, car-auction site is the same site that the Auction Spot affiliates with and continues to represent as a boat auctions.
