Why did I give a 1-star rating? A 0-Star Reality for Black Buyers. Our review system needs a 0-star option for places like Carl Black Chevrolet Buick GMC Kennesaw. Subjecting an innocent Black elder to Identity Theft, First-Degree Forgery, Wire and Bank Fraud, and now Conspiracy, just to hit a sales quota is repulsive.
Why Did I Give a 1-Star Rating? My Honest Review of Carl Black GMC Kennesaw Our current review rating system does not include a 0 rating. I feel this is a better fit for this dealership. As a 63-year-old Black man, I have been involved in well over 50 car and truck purchases. I have never dealt with a more corrupt, racist, and lacking-compassion situation than what I have dealt with at Carl Black Chevrolet Buick GMC Kennesaw. I am not alone. What I have experienced is not an isolated incident. It is a pattern — a documented, verifiable, and devastating pattern of deception, exploitation, and abuse that this dealership has inflicted on customer after customer, year after year. I will lay out the facts. Not opinions. Not feelings. Facts.
I Feel Evidence Proves Is: First-Degree Forgery, Identity Theft, Wire And Bank Fraud, and now Conspiracy. I walked into Carl Black Chevrolet Buick GMC Kennesaw and made a $1,000 down payment on a vehicle at 4:56 PM. I left the property at 5:00 PM. This timeline is undisputed and corroborated by a 17-hour continuous audio recording. At 5:33 PM — around 33 minutes after I had already left the building — someone at this dealership digitally executed a $34,856 Retail Installment Sale Contract using an unauthorized electronic signature. My name was forged on a contract I never signed. I was not even on the property. This is not an allegation. This is digital forensics. Server metadata confirms the exact times. The physical paper receipt for my down payment is stamped 4:56 PM. The contract was electronically signed at around 5:33 PM. I was already gone.
I filed a report with the Cobb County Sheriff's Office (Case #26-01870). Investigator Smith formally documented: "I did not receive any documentation with a digital signature." The case was abruptly closed on the claim that the digital evidence was "already gone." But it was not gone. On May 29, 2026, a formal Open Records request to the Cobb County Records Department revealed that the digital signatures they claimed did not exist were embedded directly inside the police department's own official file. They had the forgery evidence the entire time.
A Finance Manager at Carl Black was also recorded coaching me — an innocent Black senior citizen — into bank deception. The audio is public. You can listen to it yourself at: DerrickJustice.com. Days turned into weeks. There has been no press release. No internal investigation announced. No denial. Silence is not innocence. Silence is strategy.
GM Financial, the corporate lender, was formally notified. Despite the mathematically impossible timeline and undeniably false digital metadata, they refused to audit the dealership's server logs and instead enforced the voided contract to ruin my credit. Carl Black of Kennesaw, GM Financial, And The Cobb County Sheriff’s Office are alleged to have conspired to cover up multiple felony crimes against a Black senior citizen.
I would not refer Carl Black of Kennesaw to an enemy, let alone family and friends. Black Lives Matter. Justice For Derrick Jones Because when thousands of dollars, your credit, your identity, and your name are involved, TRUTH matters. And so does accountability. My rating: ★☆☆☆☆ Only because the system will not allow me to give zero..
When the local network utilizes law enforcement as a private shield for corporate crime, citizens must demand federal oversight. We are calling for an immediate DOJ civil rights investigation into Cobb County.
A 63-year-old Black senior citizen was targeted for forgery by Carl Black Chevrolet Kennesaw. The math proves the $34k contract was signed 33 mins AFTER he left. The Cobb County Sheriff HID the digital evidence to close the case. We demand a DOJ investigation! #NotOnMyWATCH #JusticeForDerrickJones
