Vehicle Scam Alert!
🚨Scam Alert!🚨
Attention all vehicle buyers! There’s a scam circulating on Facebook involving fake ads offering vehicles at unbelievably low prices. Here’s how it works:
Scammers are posing as a desperate seller and listing their vehicle at a really low price. The scammer is saying that we (MVS Canada Logistics) will ship you the vehicle once you make payment. However, this is a scam!
MVS Canada does not offer escrow services for people selling a vehicle. 🛑 Don’t fall for it! Here’s what you need to know:
Verify the Seller
Ensure the seller is legitimate before making any payments. Some ways to make sure that the seller is legitimate are:
- Find the company’s website online by yourself, rather than following a link provided by the sender. Reach out to the company through information provided on their website.
- Look at the sender’s email address. Does the domain name match the company that they are impersonating?
Too Good to Be True
If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Get a sense of what a vehicle should cost by checking legitimate websites such as Auto Trader or Kelley Blue Book. A bit of variation from prices found on those websites is to be expected, but if there is a large difference in the price then there may be good reason to be suspicious. Exercise caution and do your research.
Secure Payment
Never make payments to unknown individuals or through unconventional methods. Use secure payment platforms or methods that offer buyer protection.
Don’t Buy Sight Unseen
Always inspect a vehicle prior to purchasing it. If you are unable to see it yourself, sometimes it is best to walk away from the deal.
Report Suspicious Activity
If you come across any suspicious ads or activity, report it immediately to Facebook and other relevant authorities.
Protect yourself and others by staying vigilant and spreading awareness about this scam. Share this post to alert your friends and family! Don’t let scammers take advantage of you. Stay safe and informed! 🛡️
You can also Report the scam to the Canadian Anti-fraud Center.
