      I did not feel comfortable giving AutoTrader my bank account info, to deposit the funds for a vehicle that I agreed to sell. THEN Manny- ****************(*******, **) Called and arrogantly asked how we want to proceed. We gave him every opportunity to make us feel comfortable with the exchange of funds, and verifying our payment. He said he could not verify that a man was on the moon- but it was??? Well- *****, you'll need to work on your skills for leery sellers! I was also nearly a victim of a scam on this site- But- I was able to report it. So, Yes, I am leery and still leery of scams and Autotrader does not pass the test!
