We want to make consumers aware of a system that is going on all over the province/country.

You get stuck or break down and google towing services near me. Ads pop up from 3rd party roadside assistance companies, or towing companies that do not exist, but some do have a website, with no local address or location, or they offer to broker a service for you.

You call and ask for a tow. They collect your information and take your credit card info.

The 3rd party then finds a tow truck near you, they dispatch, have your vehicle towed or winched, they will pay the towing company. Your credit card is now charged for the service at a significantly higher rate

For example today we winched a commerical truck out of a ditch. The invoice was 1100$ plus hst.
Later on we found out the company was charged 2900$ USD. Almost 4100$ Canadian for this service.

If you Google for services near you, make sure the company you call is legitimate, ask for a local call back number, check for a website or social media page, check the Google reviews, call a friend for a referral, etc.

Normally we pick up on these in house but this one slipped past as it appeared to be very legitimate.

Screen shot below of an example where we Google services in our own service area, this is what pops up, the 1st one isn't a local company or a company that is even in the towing business. The 2nd one below exists and is legitimate.
