Fraud Alert
As the festive season approaches, scammers are increasingly targeting individuals with fraudulent schemes. Recently, fraudsters have been posing as representatives from No Finance Cars, using deceptive tactics to request “outstanding payments” from customers.
Stay informed and stay protected this festive season.
How the Scam Works
Scammers may contact individuals by phone, email, or SMS, falsely claiming an urgent payment is due. They exploit a sense of urgency and fear, threatening legal action if payments are not made immediately.
Requests for payment through prepaid cards, wire transfers, or direct deposits into personal accounts are telltale signs — No Finance Cars only accepts payments through official channels.
