Pay for additional listings scams

Hello-

We've learned of a scam that has not hit our site but has hit several sites in other classified advertising categories, and we want you to stay ahead of the game.

Basically, a scammer will post an ad through us, but through either the text of an ad, or if you communicate with that seller, they will invite you to register/pay to see more listings. Usually these companies just want you to enter your credit card information so that they can use it!

Often these companies claim to have their car through impoundment or other police acquisitions, reposession, or some tie to an insurance company. Remember our fraud tips and you should be fine.
