However the bait and switch (wire fraud ), Truck NON inspection, Charge inflated charge for 2290 are some major issues which i am seeking help with. I wired the down payment via Western Union for a specific truck, a 2010 midnight blue Peterbilt, double bunk,, APU, however, when I arrived to pick the truck up the truck was gone, no one knew what happened to the truck, no one had a clue where it was!!!!.

In oreder for any action to be taken it has to be collective so contact the Federal Trade Commission at 877 382-4357 and file a complaint. This the reliable way to get your report to the State police and the FBI, all complaints are automatically forwarded to these agencies. ATG is not untouchable so lets show them they are not. Keep all of your paperwork concerning ATG even if its years later cuz sooner or later karma will catch up to them and you want to be prepared. p.s. and for all those that post those bogus complements for ATG you are just as guilty so Karma will catch you too. especially when hard working people are just trying make a living and be a part of the solution. SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

2. ü  Bait and Switch, Wire fraud.

   ü  Truck Inspection

     I wired the down payment via Western Union for a specific truck, a 2010 midnight blue Peterbilt tractor, however, when I arrived to pick the truck up the truck was gone, no one knew what happened to the truck! No one had a clue where it was, but they had a 2008 red Peterbilt and a different VIN number sitting out waiting for me. Supposedly with a new in frame. And they did not reveal the truck had been in an accident. It's very important that you retain all paperwork even if it a few years old, this will help to prove your claims.
