Scam Description
Caller to BBB public info line says he found listing for a vintage VW on cars.trovit.com, priced at $14,500 — says this was considerably lower than he might’ve expected for that vehicle. Communicated via e-mail with the seller / platform, who referred him to a shipping and escrow site for payment — https://eraconsignprocess.com. Site provided him with wire transfer info to send money. Claimed all vehicles are stored and shipped out of Philadelphia area. BBB determined that consignment website was just created mid-September, and there does not appear to be an ‘ERA Consign Process’ registered as a business in PA. BBB staff advised caller not to send money, or move forward with purchase.
