How do I report a junk car dismantling scam?

When you purchase a used car, you can expect it to have some wear and tear. In addition to checking that the car meets your needs and has the features you want, you also need to be aware of scammers who try to take advantage of unwary car owners by claiming to be able to repair or repair and resell your car at a profit.If you’re thinking about buying a used car but want to be sure that it’s in good condition, you may be offered repairs by a “professional” who says he can fix any problems with your car for a fee. You might also receive unsolicited phone calls from someone who tells you that your car has been declared “totalled” by your insurance company and that they can repair it for a fee and sell it on for a profit. These are all signs of a scam. Scammers may also offer to buy your car for less than it’s worth so they can resell it for a higher amount and take your money as a fee for services that you never receive. If you receive any of these offers, it’s best to ignore them. These are all signs of a scam because legitimate car dealers won’t try to sell you something that isn’t in good condition and won’t ask you for money up front. If you’re not sure whether a car dealer is legitimate, ask to see their license and registration and check the company’s website for information about how they operate. If you receive any of these offers, report them to the National Scam Reporting Centre (NSRC) so they can be stopped before they cause any more harm.
