Deposit pressure

Don’t pay deposits or wire funds to strangers before you’ve seen the vehicle and verified the seller.

Price too good to be true

Compare similar listings. Extreme discounts are often bait used to rush you into a bad deal.

VIN & inspection

A legitimate seller usually allows a VIN check and basic inspection. Be cautious if they refuse either.

Safe meet-ups

Meet in a public place during daylight. Bring someone when possible and share your plan with a friend.

Last-minute changes

If the meet-up location or payment method keeps changing, treat it as a warning sign.

Off-platform payments

Keep payment details traceable. Gift cards, crypto, and untraceable transfers are high-risk.
