1.Make sure you go to a dealership and inspect the car physically & insist on a test drive. 2.Make sure you get an AA or Dekra report to make sure the car is roadworthy. 3. Make sure the price makes sense, if the car is way under book value, its a scam. 4.once you are satisfied, insist on seeing the original car papers and make sure its dealer stocked under the dealer name. 4.then insist on an invoice before making payment. 5.DO YOUR RESEARCH IF DEALERSHIP IS REPUTABLE.
I was knocked 10k the same way as this mandala, trying to buy a car they said it said it was intended for auction, I was sent to boksburg to fetch the car and sign papers, they pushed me to pay another 10k before coming to collect, I did not then when I called them, all phones were off, the address I was sent to it's on open field. Lesson, never pay for a car you haven't seen. And most scammers use capitec
The Police already got something to work on already but they're doing nothing in terms of tracking the owner of the bank account so that those people can be refunded, they can be able to track those contact numbers because what is RICA.
No guys let's be serious the second story in 2021 there should be no one being scammed like that. This is the same trick they have been using to prey on the vulnerable Let's share these stories and create awareness coz the prices of these vehicles are tempting.
Like I don't get it, how do you buy a car you haven't even seen or test driven? People will buy accident riddled cars. The police probably get paid because it does not make sense how you can't make an arrest via bank accounts and atms where withrawals were made.. It's crazy And cutting edge is weak, they didn't even grill the cops enough.
Kodwa u Mathebe wenzan online? It's a pity, but I hope he learnt his lesson. Why submit docs for a car you haven't even touched? Doesn't he have children to help him with such? *edit - SAPS is the most useless government dept shem!!!
please! Do not make it easy for them to scam you by following normal checks before paying your money. eg physically checking both the dealership and vehicle including all the paper work etc. Avoid panic or impulsive buying.
I came across this one time but i insisted that i would like to see the car first. The guy was like it is still in Mpumalanga but i still insisted i would come, I had already given them infor that i am based in Johannesburg. So I ended up telling them I can't do business with them if I can't get to see the car.
Even when you are selling on Facebook, you still come across scammers. I was selling a camera the other time and the guy was like he needs it urgently for his son. He said he would make payment and send proof, however it might reflect the following day. I told him i will only send when the money reflects, he then disappeared 🤣🤣🤣
Checking reviews diesnt help bcs those ppl have ways of adding fake reviews. Check this, if the owner/ring leader is registered under 8 different companues, dont u think he can write fake reviews?
Ntate Mathebe shares the same story as mine but i was able recover it because i opened a fraud case with the bank they using and they were able to pay it back( bank).
People have money to gave for free.you transfer money for cars which you dont see.is there on car dealerships in thier home town where they can visit..or maybe they are only interested at 2018 Toyota Corolla at R56000 and they believe

Being desperate makes people vulnerable but being scammed twice definitely is something else.
