WARNING!! Automartonline pretending to be autotrader!!

:mad: I had been advertising my car in autotrader. When the advert time was up my car hadn't sold. Got a call from what I thought was autotrader. They called my partner and myself spoke to them on three occasions and both thought it was autotrader. I paid £69 to advertise my car for as long as it took to sell. Got a call from the real autotrader today to ask if I wanted to advertise. Suddenly the penny dropped. I'd been scammed. Have spoken to automartonline and they deny that they misled me and say I cannot have refund - even though I haven't found my ad on their site. Have contacted trading standards and will be writing to automartonline for a refund.
I looked on the forum here and saw that there was a post from march last year and many other people have been robbed by them.
Can't believe they are still able to trade.
Watch out if you are selling your car on autotrader.
