BBB Flooded With Complaints On 2 Auto Auction Sites
Stars-Automart, Autoaven Sent Cease And Desist Letters
POSTED: 12:41 pm MDT August 11, 2009
DENVER — The Denver office of the Better Business Bureau said its telephone helpline has been jammed with calls from people across the country who are asking about two auto sales Web sites that claim to be headquartered in Denver.
According to the BBB, calls have been nonstop and the BBB has sent a "cease and desist" notice regarding trademark infringement to the company because of a fake BBB report the sites link to that falsely shows the company with an A+ rating.
The two Web sites list one physical address as 10701 W. Sixth Ave, but that address actually belongs to BBB Accredited business, Automotive Avenues, Inc. Another link goes to 3925 Monaco Parkway, which actually belongs to Cintas Document Management — a paper shredding company.

The two Web sites, www.stars-automart.com and www.autoaven.com, claim to offer sales of repossessed vehicles.
The BBB said customers complain that once a majority payment is sent via MoneyGram to a Denver address, the company ceases communication. The company has not responded to the BBB.
An Internet check shows the two domain names are registered to a private registration company in Sunnyvale, Calif.
The BBB said it sent out the warning because on-delivery and Internet auction fraud were the top two complained-about fraud types at the Internet Crime Complaint Center.
"The BBB takes complaints very seriously and does not want any more consumers to be victimized," a news release stated.
TheDenverChannel attempted to contact the Web sites without success. The phone number listed on the site goes to a recording, which suggests callers contact them by e-mail. The same section of the stars-automart.com Web site lists a James Stewart as the owner.
To protect from online scams, the BBB has the following suggestions:
• Verify any organization credentials with the organization directly, (BBB, AutoTrader, Consumer Reports logos, etc.)
• Check the company’s BBB report at www.denver.bbb.org or by calling 303-758-2100. Only do business online with websites you are familiar with and that have a positive track record.
• Make sure the website has a privacy policy. It will contain agreements on how the information you provide on the website will be used and kept private and secure. Print this and keep it in your records.
• The privacy policy may also contain the company’s mailing address. Only do business with companies that provide a sure method of contact, should something go wrong.
• Do not wire transfer any payment. Wired funds cannot be traced and therefore cannot be recovered if you are a victim of fraud.
• If you have become a victim of fraud, contact your BBB and the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov to file a complaint.

Please dont fall for this and report them to law enforcement

if you were scammed report it to your local police. Make an IC3.com complaint. Call your attny General and file a complaint. Send a notice to the secret service and try to get them to investigate. Get your local police to contact interpol. If you don’t hear anything within 4 weeks call your congressman. We will not get any money back but we will shut these guys down and prevent it from happening again

What is the value on this car? Nevertheless, the answer the salesperson gives will show how forthcoming they are going to be. This is one of those questions you should know the answer to before asking

Is the title with car?
If the dealer does’ have the title present get a firm commitment, in writing, as to when it will be available. If you cannot get a commitment, do not buy. Without the title present, you technically dealers are not supposed to sell a car that they do not have a title for, but it happens all the time. Of. A car. has been traded in that the previous owner owed money on the title may still be held at the bank could run into delays in registering your car and buying license plates

I filed a complaint with the Investigations office through the DMV and they reported that the car was completely fine. And of course my bank would not have loaned me the money to purchased a salvaged car.

So basically, CarMax and/or AutoCheck.com are the only ones saying that the car is salvaged. I called AutoCheck.com and they said that the dealership bought the car from an auto auction, and the auto auction “announced” it as a salvaged title to the dealership; but neither the auto auction or the dealership reported the title to the DMV.

I called a lawyer that specifically deals with Auto Fraud but he would not take my case. He stated that the only way I would win is if the DMV said that the car was a salvaged title.

So I dont know what to do…and I dont want to pay 000 for a car that is only worth 00. Should I go to my bank or should I go to another lawyer? Am I entirely screwed? Does this happen a lot? Please, someone give me some advice!
