Default Scam?

Hi guys ...this will be quick. I've put my SE 06 up for sale, Inforamtion is also on the thread "Advice". My question is does anyone know about "Vehicle Stars". Got a call, telling me that for 499.00 they will guarantee me my selling price and then when the car is sold I will get my 499 back. Huh?
Thanks

Scam or not, why bother. There are plenty of proven and free options for selling cars. I believe at this time of year this forum is your best bet.
Good luck.

If you pay before it's sold, obviously a scam.

An obvious scam in my opinion.

Is it true that Vehicle Stars an automobile Scam? - Yahoo! Answers

You've gotten lots of good advice on this. Be afraid, be very afraid. Mention these bird brains to your state AG's office. At least they may be put on the radar for the future.
