I had an "Amanda" call one week, and I ignored it, then "Jacob" left a message on my phone recently.. so I decided to websearch and found this. Haha. I never called back myself.. but his callback number was 866-326-0950 and his name was "Jacob Reed" from Longwood Inc (With the whole 20 second spiel and all)

I just received a message today from a Jacob Reed, 866-326-0950, with Longwood Inc. I called back and spoke with Amanda who gave her contact number as 877-572-5714, ext 117. I did not buy into the "service", but figured I would put their info on here for anyone trying to find their number. Looks like they continue to change their number and the contact name.

Wow, I have been contacted twice talked to 3 different people on 2 different days all saying that "allan is in another building doing research." I've done some research myself by reading threads and forums about this and the price is different. All three times they told me it would cost three different amounts: $200, $220, $170....... how can a scam be so inconsistent. They must make money though if they can hire people to run the phones...they're website also is not right...autotrader.com has WAY more listings but doesn't guarentee that your vehicle will sell and costs less??????

I'm in BC and got the call too (for my truck that is for sale). I guess cross-border shopping is fine too.  He was a bit too clear in his recording to be real. He will not have a response from me.  Thanks for posting your commment it help me decide not to contact him.

Cheers

i posted my car on craigslist and kijiji the other day...i just got a call from allen this morning..called back and spoke to a mana...gave her all the information about my car and my address and everything...luckily i didnt have my credit card with me, because i was on my break at work...she asked me if i wanted to run in and grab it, that way i would have buyers calling by my lunch break. when i came back into work i looked the company up and found this website....luckily they dont have my card #...she said it was a flat rate of $99.00 and there were already 100 buyers interested in my car. they called me under the # 877 572 5715  ....guess i need to be more careful...thanks

I recieved a voicemail message from this "Allen"  saying he saw I was selling my vehicle and has found some people interested in it.  If so, why can't those people call me?  Anyway, I called the number the he left and talked to "Myra" and like everyone else has said, Allen was not available.  So after I gave the lady a little hell, she promptly responded in a VERY sarcastic tone "are you done?"  I told her to take my number off their calling list.  she said she would but also advised me that I should "talk to a reputable representative of their company and not just believe everything I read on Google."  Good one!  Stay away from these people.

My oh My...
I am so happy to have had this site pop to the top of the list when I went looking for "Longwood Industries."
Alan seems to get around, yes?  Calling all of us up like he's our long lost pal.
I'm going to chase down where Longwood holds business licenses and see what the local Attorney General and Better Business Bureau can tell me about this crew.
Say g'nite Alan....

Hahaha. Got the same call today. I figured it was a scam but wanted to find out more about who was calling my house leaving a recorded message.
Of course Allen was not there.
To clean it up a bit I told the young lady to lose my # or she will have my foot up her a$$
If everyone would call them at night, when they are closed, with your # blocked and leave them a message that your interested, then leave a call back # that is for there offices do you think they will get the hint.
To block your # before you dial just hit *67 then dial your # will be blocked..

Have fun. :)

I got the same call from 1-800-821-7025 saying he saw we were selling our car and he has people interested.  My questions are "why is Alan calling me?" and "what about the "DO NOT CALL LIST" that the government established to protect us from such nuisances.  If he is a sincere person and looking out for others, then why didn't he give these people the contact info.  I am not calling him back and I thank everyone who had the gumption to share the same feelings about the phone call they received from this person.  I'm in Maryland, he's in Oregon.... H E L L O ... I'm not shipping a $1,000 vehicle anywhere so he can make a profit.  NON-PROFIT my BU.T, noone goes to this much trouble without it making them money somewhere along the way.
Thank you for letting me vent.

Just got the "Alan" call myself. I have an ad in a local paper-they promised me that if i send them $150. they would have my care sold by this weekend or my money back! Of course, no one can actually reach "Alan"... I spoke to Deanna. Alanis "in another billing doing research".

If they do not sell my car, they refund me $120. I'm not a great at math, but isn't that like minus $30?

Yes, I too received yet another call from 'Alan' w/Longwood Industries, which he claims is a 501(c)3 organization with a buyer for the vehicle I have recently offered for sale. This is perhaps the 3rd or 4th call 'Alan' has made to my home within the past week or so. I called their 800-821-7025 number; 'Alan', of course, was unavailable... my guess is he doesn't exist. I informed the person that my number has been on the national 'Do Not Call' list for many years and asked them to remove my telephone number from their database. (FYI - the gal then promptly hung-up on me.) I then submitted formal complaints about the repeated calls to my home with our state's Attorney General office, the Federal Trade Commission, the Federal Communications Commission, and the National 'Do Not Call' List. But, our government, being the 'train wreck' that it is, will likely not resolve anything. I view the whole exercise as an opportunity to just blow off a bit of steam. So, if you too need to do so... give 'em hell! Have a great day! Bye for now!

What a coincidence!  We got the same call 2x.  Inquisitive minds ask whether this person/company has anything to do with our vehicle having been broken into while on vacation.  Incidentally, vehicle ownership was stolen along with electronic goods. We don't even have a vehicle for sale.  Where did they get this information from? I will certainly be passing this on to our police contact to pursue along with their investigation.

Found more info on this Scam...

"Adentis Inc, located @ 312 2nd Street Suite 2, Roanoke, Va. 24011. This is the actual company who owns and operates the thebiglot.com and autohopper.com. Their staff is trained to tell consumers that they are Longwood Industries, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization..."

"There is one lady in their office who is employed by Longwood, she scans the newspapers and online listings of car sellers nationwide, and enters the seller's phone number into an automatic dialer, with a pre-recorded message from 'Alan' who explains, in a 20 second message that he noticed that Longwood Industries already has buyers for their car (or boat, or motorhome, motorcycle, ATV, 5th wheel, travel trailer, etc.) in their area, and to please call back for more details @ 800-821-7025. Sound familiar??? Folks take it from me, DON'T FALL FOR THE SCAM!!!! If you call back you will have a salesperson answer the call and tell you that Alan is in the Research Department but they will be happy to help you if they can."

"Alan" called me 3x with his number blocked. Called my phone company to see whether or not I can block the caller, was told they can't do anything about it, unless I am willing to change phone #.

9/25/08--I received a message from Allen only he adjusted his message to fit the boat I have for sale.  He said he was from Longwood Industries and represented a 501(c)3 organization.  My ad was in the Little Nickel newspaper for South King County.  (Seattle is in King County) plus in their online service.  I contacted Little Nickel.  They were unaware of Allen and his organization but they referred me to this site.  I never returned his call.
