After listening to scam victims on the radio program this evening, it would be appropriate for me to join in the conversation with some advice.
1. Please take Craigslist’s advice and deal with people locally ………..
2. Ok let’s say you meet someone locally and he/she wants to sell the car to you. What need to transpire before there is any financial transaction.
* Make sure the Title and Bill of sale form is in the name of the person selling to you. Proof check with the person’s driving licence. Take a bill of sale form with you, just in case the person selling you the car don’t have it, you can have them fill and sign for you.
* What if the person is selling the car on behalf of others, ie death or living relative. A) If the person is death – the seller should have PROBATE document, which is a court document authorising the relative to sell the estate. B) If selling on behalf of a living person, the seller should have power of Attorney.
Make sure you get a copy of all the above document prior to any financial transaction, coz the DMV will need these document to register the vehicle under you name.
I hope this information will help you from being a victim of scammers.
