Igor Gomelyuk (going by Mike for some reason) offered me a price for a scrap car. His employee named Adam showed and started inspecting the car for some reason, checking km’s etc (it’s scrap, remember). He then looked under the car and said it had no catalytic converter, and reduced the price. I told him he obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about as I pointed to the catalytic converter, in the exact place it should be. He then said because it was a six cylinder car, it should have two, in-line, which isn’t a thing. I tried to explain that only dual exhaust vehicles would have two in that configuration, and I even pulled up the exhaust diagram to prove it. He then raised the price, but was still short of the promised amount. I told him to leave, after which he begged me to sell him the car as he wouldn’t get paid otherwise, which I said is not my problem as they are trying to scam me. He then showed me hundreds of pictures on his phone of catalytic converters, and explained that every one was “aftermarket” and he had to reduce the price on all of them. I asked him how he knew they were aftermarket, he said because they are “shinier” than the rest of the exhaust system, meaning they “must” have been replaced at some point. I asked how he could tell aftermarket from OEM by just looking at it, he said “from experience”. I had enough and told him to leave, and then he said his “boss” approved $50 less than the original quote. I took the amount to be done with the situation, otherwise I would have said no based on principle. They are scamming thousands of dollars from unsuspecting people

They are the biggest scammers. They offered me $1000 for my car and then when they came for the car offered only $500 with every excuse in the book. I was supposed to keep my rims and they towed my car without letting me keep my wheels as agreed. When I tried calling continuously to get my wheel they didn't answer and blocked my calls.
I have filed a police report and will be reporting them to the BBB.
DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM. THEY WILL ROB AND STRAL FROM YOU!!

CashForScrapCarsGTA.com is a SCAM!

Terrible experience with these scammers. I got a quote over email for $1500 for my scrap car or $1200 if they send a tow truck to me. They said their quotes are guaranteed.

When I towed my old car to their shady yard on Islington, I realized that this isn't even a scrap yard. Some eastern European with an accent came out and said they can pay a maximum of $600 for my car, not the $1500 they initially quoted.

He came up with every excuse in the world. I already spent $400 towing my car, hoping to get $1100 in profit. I was scammed.

These people have no reviews anywhere and obviously it makes sense. They hide their identity so that nobody can reveal what actual scam they're running.

I will be filing a complaint with the BBB and Ontario Consumer Protection.

The guy calls himself Mike, but when he e-mailed me, the email said Igor Gomelyuk.
