Frank, of Hot Ride Motors AKA L.A.R.S. Group Inc. (LARS), he likes his money more than his reputation or conscience.


This is how he operates: He uses a number of ebay accounts, using even different names (when you call in and ask for the listed name, you get ‘he’s not in, you can talk to Frank), and uses prepaid phones so his phone number keeps changing.


His ‘main’ accounts he uses for his better cars so the feedback is good. For his lower quality cars he sells under various new accounts, lists 4 or 5 at once, and after he gets the bad feedback just walks away from the account.


He doesn’t take paypal and knows the ebay motors buyer protection very well so there is no recourse.


I've only just started looking but found these ebay accounts:


bestautodeals2010 , bestchoicefrank , bid-to-auto2010 , coastalhwy , buynsell83 , hadynadirvine , wilkedoug .


They'll be more as he abandons accounts and starts others.

Long and short, if the seller is in Philadelphia and doesn't list his address, email him asking for the address so you can look at the car. If it comes back Venango Rd or Kensington, run away screaming.


If you came here on a web search and still buy from this guy, you're either brave or thick.


I've contacted both ebay and paypal and pointed out that at the very least his numerous accounts come up on an 'accepts paypal' search when he doesn't accept paypal.

I guess I am his latest victim. I bought a Landcruiser April 2010 and Depaendable Auto Shippers won't even pick it up because it it undriveable. His ID this time was lairdrodland. There is must be some kind of recourse here right? I think we need to find a lawyer who specializes in fraud and get a multiplanitiff suit together. But mostly I want ebay to get them off of their site. I talked to Frank and he said his last name is Izary.
