Autorodz.com is an Online Consignment Scam

Just lost thousands of dollars. I hope this gets out to anyone who is thinking about buying from this site.


Autorodz.com is an online auto (also RV's boats...) consignment scam.

It seemed fishy, but when I researched the site I found mostly positive reviews over multiple sites. There was even an article about the company - they all looked legit.

It was only AFTER I gave them my money that I looked more closely into all of the sites and forums where I had found those reviews - only to find that they were all fake.

Also later found the photos of the RV they were "selling" me on a random forum from a few years ago. They found the photos online and used them in their fake ad.

I found the ad on Craigslist. When I replied the seller told me that he was selling the RV through "ARC". (as if I'd be familiar with it). The scammers were good at it - they made the "seller" seem human (using his wife's email, apologizing for a late reply, saying that all of the replies had gone to his spam folder and had accidentally gotten deleted. (I see later that this was to get me to think that I had a chance to get in and buy it, as if that had been a stroke of luck on my part). We went to the site and it seemed legit. All of the sites that the good reviews were on seemed legit at first glance.

They wanted me to wire money. Since everything seemed legit, and the comments and reviews spanned from 2009 to 2015, I fell for it.

Trying to get comments and threads started about them on some forums because when I was thinking about buying there weren't any negative reviews...
