So this was the douche bag that has been calling me on private the past few days without saying anything and hanging up when I answer. I was really occupied with work today having my phone on silent. This time the private call went straight to voicemail. Btw, this asshole took my number from my Autotrader ad.
these people (matt) and )brad) have contacted me twice on my raigslist ads in a period of 1 year hat a scam i called them back ast time and brad ( had left for the day) hahaha what a joke . makes me fucking sick
I found over 549 complaints, and complants as recent as 1/27/11, about not getting the desired refund. Not one single person sold their car through this service. its a scam. Its not even filed as a business but a charity. thats pretty fishy.
Matt Carter called me today. What a moron! Like i am just going to hand over $225 dollars to a "company" without a website, mailing address, or a phone number. What business has a "private number" that doesn't show up on a phone? This is what I get for trying to sell my car online.
Call him back and Just tell him off! Cameron ( a female) should answer and tell you he's busy with another call! Tell her to go fuck herself and get a real job! Expect to get hung up on!
I got 2 calls from Matt so far. I called them back and lead some girl on about my jeep just wasting her time. I then told her on my add that it said it was not ok to contact this seller for any services and I told her that it was people like you that ruin web sights like Craig's list and she actually started arguing with me saying that they weren't a service and that they had tons of people that were interested in buying my 82 jeep and I told her that was horse shit and she got mad and hung up.
Weird, I too received a phone call from Matt, and decided to snoop around a bit. I found hundreds of posts about being contacted and how it must be a scam, but I haven't found a single complaint or recommendation from anybody who tried the service!
I'm not 100% sure it's a scam, as nobody has said they actually got ripped off.
Scam or legit, how do they stay in business? It seems like nobody trusts them enough to try them, but don't look to me to do it!
@tubassee I am not trying to sound mean or combative. But it is 2012, what company doesn't have a website? This guy claims to represent clients and wants to run an advertisement. Where are the adds being run? Its still a scam, because someone out there will fall for something like this. Think about it? You have a person, who desperately needs to sell their vehicle and this guy calls and says "Hey I can help, gaurentee my service will work, and all I need from you is a small fee."
@smoodyfa Sounds pretty good, right? All it takes is a person who isn't savvy enough to do their homework and look this company up and BAM: fraud. This guy told me he could, without a doubt, sell my car without having even seen it in person. That is a red flag right there. This guy is still in business because people fall for things that sound too good to be true, all of the time.
@smoodyfa Oh I wasn't saying it's not a scam, just that it's weird that nobody has a story about actually having a bad (or good) experience using them. I was able to find them on BBB.org and apparently people have complained to them, with 546 complaints, of which only 141 were for advertising/sales issues!
Thanks for posting, i just received a call from Matt and a girl called Elisabeth and they were very convincing and even giving a long history of the cmopany. Yet in the long run they were caught in a lie when i was talking with them.
Thanks for posting this. I just got a very similar recorded message from Matt Carter from Longwood Inc. Sounded a bit too smooth to me in his pitch, so I googled him and was not at all surprised to find so many postings about him and his scam. What an idiot.
Thanks for posting! My pal-ee Matt called me to saying my car was in big demand (Hey, anyone looking for a black 2003 Grand Prix....ha ha ha!) Anyway, great to learn about their scam.
Just got a call from "Matt" as well--not the same voice as on the audio share above--saying he saw my car on Ebay--the car has been listed as sold for about a wek now. Same phone number--call before five today!! Thank you--YouTube/Google!!
I just received a call form Matt Carter asking us to call him back before 5 pm. I called them and a lady answered saying that someone from my household had used my number in a Craigslist ad! I told her I am sorry but there is no-one here that has a vehicle for sale. So if that doesn't spell scam I don't know what does.
Got several calls from Matt Carter - I called 1 866-326-9921 as they wanted the $99.00 on my credit card asap - a woman answered saying they r a N American company with affiliates all over,....told them I lowered the price of the car, but my dad wanted to put it back up a few hundred,..."No problem, How much do u want to sell it for,...We have buyers,Thrilled until now when I checked up on them .
Received same message from Matt Carter with Longwood Inc. telling me he can help me sell my vehicle for a small fee. I too posted my vehicle on Craigslist. The call from "Matt" was totally a recording. The first thing I did was google Longwood Inc. So glad I did. Amazing how long this has been going on since I see this was first posted over a year ago. WTH?
hahah yea matt just called me for the second time this time he goes hey this is matt from longwood inc i called you last week about your add he sounded soooo concerned -_- think i should call him back??? hahaha
I just got a call from Matt. So I had to google the company before I called and found this video. Its the same guy! LOL. He's so stupid, I don't even have a car. Thanks for the video post. Saved me a lot of time!
Thanks so much all of you- I should not be so stupid about thinking people are out there to help!! Also I was texted by someone who wanted me to respond by email- they sell your addresses? Craigslist can be such a pain in the ass!!
I got a call, just as described, very pleasnt from Matt. Problem is I don't have a car for sale. I posted a "wanted" ad on Craigslist. Stupid scammers...
the motherfucker called me today about my cummins dodge I listed on craigslist...got news for you asshole I own it..dont need to sell it..and dont need your help to sell it so go fuck yourself dude.. hmm end of conversation LOL
I got message from Matt and called him back. After the call, I believe Matt/Longwood Inc would be able to sell my car a lot faster and for a lot more money than if I were to do it myself. And yes....I smoke CRACK on a regular basis.
Yeah today i actually called them back to see what they had to say and ring them a new one. they were trying to get me to have one of their "customers" to come look at my car but i had to pay 99 dollars for a 1st time fee and then after that if i wanted to use there services it would be 200 the lady i spoke to was very rude and think its ok to have a very large fee to so called help people sell there cars. I feel sorry for there so called customers and even worse for the people who fall for this
I had a message on my answering machine last night....glad everyone has posted the true story! I decided to check them out b/4 calling, glad I did! Thanks!
Yeah just got that call from them earlier this morning, I wasn't even selling a vechicle just my scooter. I complained and wrote on another page that ppl were talking about them. I mean come on really, they think were idiots or something... Well I knew this seem way to shady.
you will get someone on the phone, very polite, until you ask them about not calling anymore, and then they hang up immediatly.
they asked for specific information on the vehicle i had posted, and my thing is, why are they asking , if they looked in order to get your number, they should have all the information that was posted.
This is the exact message I received. I'll have to break it up into a few parts.
"Hi, I'm really glad, I uh, found you. My name is Matt Carter, I work for Longwood Inc. The number here is 866-326-9921. Uh, we got some clients who are shopping for vehicles and I'm going through a list of vehicles like yours. I'd like to find out more about it and um, tell you a little bit more about what we can do to help you get it sold. Uh, there is a small fee for this service. It is well worth it.
Just got the exact same message yesterday. I almost called him but decided to check out Longwood Inc and found this. Thank you for posting the clip! Pretty crazy. One person is saying they are in South Florida, I am central California.
Same, put a car on autotrader and no sooner did I start getting calls from these bastards. Brad called me, but the message sounds exactly the same (voice as well)
I have a Harley for sale on cycletrader right now. For the last five days, at about the same time, an unknown number shows on my caller ID and when I'd pick it up, there would be no one there. Today, it rang again, this time I let it go to voicemail. I got the infamous "Hi, this is Matt Carter and for a small fee, we can help you sell your vehicle." I googled it and of course it's a scam.
Called 2 days ago, had my car for sale on craigslist, but no phone number. Only time I listed my number was on a for sale sign I left on my car while at work in Ocala, Fl.
I just got the same voicemail from this dumbass.. Surely there's a way the cops can track him down using that number.. And he's calling from "unknown" numbers but leaving that number (below) in his voice mail message.. Yeah for a small fee, he can kiss my ass.
He has even created a new message which makes it sound even more legit. This is a direct quote from him on my voicemail, He says.......... "Hi this is Matt from LongWood Inc. I left you a message about a week ago and I noticed your car is still for sale, we can help you out, give me a ring when you can, my number is 866-326-9921".....
WOW!!! I recieved this same exact message 1 week ago but I ignored the call and let it go to voice mail. I have a Mercedes up for sale on Craigslist in South Florida, my number was posted on the add. I never gave him a call back either. I have yet to answer but yesteday I recieved another phone call from him, I let it go to voicemail. Its a different message this time. (Continued.....)
So this was the douche bag that has been calling me on private the past few days without saying anything and hanging up when I answer. I was really occupied with work today having my phone on silent. This time the private call went straight to voicemail. Btw, this asshole took my number from my Autotrader ad.
