Whats up guys! ok so i entered this contest where u could get ur car turned into a show car and i got emails that my application is being reviewed. well i got home from the beach today to ffind out that i won. im pretty psyched but i dont really know how legit it is because they asked for a credit card. is anyone else on here sponsored through them? What do u guys think i should do?

 

oh boy.

 

Epic Fail!!!!

 

Haha not again..

 

what? what did i miss

 

Please tell us you didn't prove your credit card info.

 

Yes, give them your creditcard!!

 

NO i wanted to see what u guys thought of it. i mean i got a message on my phone from them and i called back and they seemed pretty legit i mean check out their site.

 

if they are planning to sponsor you why would they need your credit card? R you sponsoring them first?

 

simply amazing. hate to tell you but you got ripped if you gave them your CC info.

 

HERE IS WHAT THEY SAID:

Why do you need my credit card? Reviewing each and every application is a time consuming process. By asking for a valid credit card authorization we can be assured that we are only reviewing applications from individuals that are serious and committed to having their vehicle customized. If you don't have a credit card you can call our office to submit your application M-F 9am-5pm EST 1-866-340-1073

i didnt give any info yet

 

I will be brutally honest with you. I work for PayPal here in omaha as a Customer Solutions Agent. I hear phone calls all the time about this sort of thing. We can't even get there money back.

Ask them what the reasoning behind the credit card is and if there were application fees ask if you can pay with a check. The reasoning, you can take them to court and have actual prove of the check.

 

here is the site check it out

http://carsponsorships.com/

 

bahahaha....FAIL! Please search google and see what people have been saying.

 

So having a credit card makes you serious about modding your car.

I bet what this is, is a company that receives wholesale pricing on automotive used junk. They tell people they sponsor them and give them a slightly discounted price compared to normal market costs.

It's a scam buddy. Unless your going to be representing the company in Major auto shows and your paying to get the car there, i would walk away.

 

Don't do it. carsponsorships.com is a joke.

 

think about it........ you're paying the sponsor..... hmmmmmmmmmmm

 

i once registered that i had a Ford Piece of **** that Barely Runs. what response did i get?

Congratulations! We have reviewed your application, and have only ONE available opening for a Ford Piece of **** that barely runs! Please pay the processing fee immediately to secure your position.

moral of the story? if you're going to be sponsored by someone, it's going to be because they know that putting their name on your car will be profitable. it's much more complicated than filling out an online application.

 

i found some things on google. one guy says he got things and one guys says he didnt i dont know what to believe on the site it says u pay them 89 dollars for the payment and then u get whatever u want but now im starting to think this is a joke,scam,ripoff.

 

I bet if you gave CSS your credit card info we could sponsor your car too Would be a hell of a lot nicer too

 

thanks for the help guys u just saved me 89 dollars.

 

Think about it from the company stand point. You pay me $89 dollars, then I give you $300 in parts... repeat it over for other people.

How they gunna make money?

 

the thing is, is that they won't have anything available for your car "at the time". keep checking back, and they still won't have anything available. and if they do, the "discount" you get will never be worth it anyways. if you have to pay for a sponsorship, it's a scam.

 

did a quick search and came up w/ these threads of members thinking about getting sponsored by them. there are plenty more but for some reason alot of members decided to delete their threads after paying the $90 and realizing they got ripped off.
