National Motor Sales - scam?

Got a telemarketing call from a place called National Motor Sales.
They want to help me sell a car. Claim to be some sort of Google affiliate, or something like that.
Will list my car in national databases, multiple sites, blah blah blah

Done a few Google searches that have come up so-so. They claim to have "huge numbers of buyers that use us" and blah blah blah....

Anyone know if this place is a scam or not? They're kinda pushy!

A scam until proven otherwise, but I don't think that will happen

Best,

Probably charge you a large fee and won't help a bit.

If they contact you, it's definitely a scam. If you contact them, they still may be a scam...

Not so much a "scam" as a "rip-off". They'll take your money and list the car where you could do the same for less or free (AutoTrader, CarsForSale, Pennysaver, etc.).
