Misleading Listings and No Real Address!

Submitted an inquiry through a third-party site, but the response redirected me to a different website with conflicting prices and vague details. No direct answers, just a generic link that didn’t match the original listing.

Communication felt evasive, and to make matters worse, the company only lists a PO Box, No Real Physical Address. That’s a Red Flag when dealing with property sales.

Buyers should be cautious. Listings and pricing vary across platforms, and transparency is lacking.

UPDATE
After I posted the above review reflecting my concerns, I received a *threatening email* demanding I remove it within 48 hours or face a lawsuit. The email had no name, no signature, and came from a generic company address, not from a lawyer or authorized representative. This raises even more Red Flags for me as a consumer.

My experience with GovernmentAuction.com (also known as Government Auction LLC) has been not only disappointing but legally troubling. We entered into a contract for a parcel in Kern County, CA based on glossy marketing materials, GPS maps, and descriptions that were grossly misleading. Upon independent verification, the actual location, condition, and legal status of the lot were entirely inconsistent with the representations made by the company.

Crucial disclosures, such as zoning designations, access to utilities, easements, and development restrictions, were either omitted or misrepresented until after I had entered into a legally binding agreement. Clearly establish that contracts entered into under fraudulent inducement or material omission (photos) may be voidable.

When we attempted to assert our legal right to cancel the contract under these grounds, the company refused a refund, hiding behind one-sided fine print buried in the terms and conditions. "Their internal clauses even state that any improvements made by a buyer on the land automatically revert to Government Auction LLC in the event of a default" a deeply unfair and potentially unenforceable clause under California’s consumer protection laws.

After filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau (BBB), I was advised to escalate the matter. I have now filed with other consumer protection authorities and am in the process of initiating a court case. The legal costs that Government Auction LLC is likely to incur in defending against this matter are already substantially higher than what it would have cost them to resolve the issue in good faith. Their refusal to acknowledge their failure to provide accurate and complete information about the land has left me no other option but legal action.

Additionally, their response to other reviews falsely suggests fabrication and dishonesty on my part, yet they offer no substantive rebuttal to my specific allegations. Instead, they attempt to deflect responsibility by citing irrelevant prior correspondence and cherry-picked examples that do not address their central failures.

This appears to be a company that profits by taking advantage of inexperienced buyers, especially those unfamiliar with rural California land law. They use confusing contracts and misleading listings to push rushed sales while avoiding accountability.

Buyer beware: consult an independent real estate attorney before entering into any agreement with this company. Demand full legal documentation, including zoning and access verification, before you commit. I strongly discourage others from doing business with Government Auction LLC.

I am compelled to disclose the serious issues I encountered during my employment at Goodwill, located at 625 Main Ave, Brookings, SD. Throughout my tenure, I faced relentless bullying based on my disability and background, with no corrective actions taken by management despite repeated reports. The failure to address such hostile work conditions is in direct violation of federal and state anti-discrimination laws.

It is also alarming that the company employs multiple individuals with criminal backgrounds or close relatives in correctional facilities without ensuring appropriate conduct and standards are maintained. Furthermore, donations are frequently mishandled, and attempts to report these infractions resulted in retaliatory actions, culminating in anyone termination. This constitutes a breach of whistleblower protection laws, designed to protect employees who report unethical or illegal activities.

The internal environment at this Goodwill location starkly contrasts with the organization's publicly stated values and mission. The lack of accountability and support not only undermines employee welfare but also jeopardizes the trust of donors and the community.

For those considering employment or engagement with this Goodwill location, I advise caution and thorough due diligence to avoid the detrimental experiences I have endured.

Going to add my BBB complaint,

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against AAA, service provider All American Towing, regarding a highly unsatisfactory experience with their towing service. On November 19, 2024, at approximately 1 PM, I called AAA to request towing service for my Ford wagon (Order # 09048253). Despite making more than 10 follow-up calls, the tow truck never arrived. At 6:30 PM, I was informed by AAA customer service that All American Towing had closed for the day and would pick up my vehicle the following morning, November 20, 2024, at 8:30 AM. The next day, the towing company failed to call or text as promised and delivered my vehicle to the wrong location (my place) around 10:30 AM. Furthermore, the tow truck driver argued that they were underpaid by AAA, requested a tip, and behaved inappropriately in front of my residence. I placed a new order (# 09068364) to have my vehicle towed to the correct location. However, All American Towing closed this order without providing the service. After waiting for an extended period and experiencing significant stress, I contacted AAA again, only to be informed that the order had been closed. This ordeal has caused me considerable stress and financial loss, as I had to call another towing service to finally resolve the issue. I am requesting a formal apology from both AAA and All American Towing, as well as a full reimbursement of the towing costs incurred due to their inadequate service. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt resolution.
Sincerely,
E Jeffcoat

It’s deeply troubling to see Trump pardoning for serious crimes, while someone else is accused of taking the life of a UnitedHealth CEO. This disparity in justice is simply not right.

U Haul Customer Service changed my U Haul location and gave me another one an hour away from where I live and they didn't want to cover the difference of miles.
I called customer service and the supervisor was very rude. He told me that the mileage problem was mine and not theirs.

cancellation issues.
The Uber Driver (James) waited 2 minutes and canceled my trip.
I'm handicap and it takes me more than 2 minutes to get to the vehicle. Regrettable!

This woman (DANA KIEL) rented me her driveway and then harassed me asking for MORE money.

"If I do not receive payment in 20 minutes the police officer that’s here will have the bus towed immediately."

"Venmo me the $500

Love it
