I got scammed by this exact type of thing when I needed a tow truck ASAP to jump my car. They had a fake business <1 mile away with lots of good reviews. After giving them my credit card info right away and after a long delay, I gave it more scrutiny and realized it was definitely a fake business. I called multiple times to figure out where the F$&@ my tow truck was, each time talking to a different person with a filipino accent. An impressively sophisticated scam, Im not sure how google could fight it

- jeffbee 4y agoUse the magic phrase: I’ll pay cash. All legit trades people strongly prefer cash, and you can’t get scammed out of it over the phone.
- bryceacc 4y agoget AAA, and also credit card over the phone? I would have stopped there
- wolongong942 4y agoThat's how most legitimate tow companies take payment if you aren't already registered.
- seb1204 4y agoMobile credit devices are very common. Some are the size of a coaster and connect to you mobile device of choice. Pay on arrival.
- computerex 4y agoAAA has been utterly useless. In the past 2 times I needed a tow, they couldn't arrange one in a timely manner, with lots of delays and miscommunications.
- kube-system 4y agoYears ago AAA was good. But the few times I’ve used them over the past decade, it has been a PITA every time.
- wildrhythms 4y agoHuh my experience is very different. I used the app to get a jump start on my car and they came out in 20 minutes with no hassle. I think it really depends on your location.
