A company called cardata called me and took £89.99 off me by promising they had buyers ready who they would get to call to buy my car: they seem to have no such buyers and the money they took off me was clearly a scam...
A company call Cardata appear to be operating a canvassing scam. They called regarding an Auto Trader advert, and took a "refundable" £89.99 from my debit card promising that they had buyers ready demanding information about my vehicle and would be sending them within the hour. No buyers were ever sent by them and now they are ignoring all calls of complaint, speaking rudely to me and putting the phone down mid conversation!
There are a number of these scammers about and this is one of them. We are in the process of investigating these cases in association with a BBC consumer team. You might in the meantime choose to contact Trading Standards in Enfield regarding your experience as they cover the location where Cardata operate.
