Avoiding Rent-to-Own Scams: Red Flags to Watch Out For

If you have been blacklisted or have trouble getting traditional bank financing, rent-to-own is one of the most dependable ways to get back on the road. Scammers, regrettably, are aware of this — and frequently target those seeking second-chance car solutions. No Finance Cars (NFC) wants every South African to feel secure and informed. Here are the most common red flags to watch for.
5 Red Flags to Watch Out For
1
Red Flag
Unusual Payment Methods

Reputable providers never request payment via personal bank accounts, wire transfers, or gift cards. All payments at NFC are handled exclusively through safe, authorised channels.

2
Red Flag
High-Pressure Tactics

Scammers use urgency, threats, or fear — “Pay today or face legal action.” A reliable rent-to-own company will never force snap decisions. Transparency and open communication are central to how NFC operates.

3
Red Flag
Suspicious Contact Details

Be wary of contact from random social media profiles, personal Gmail accounts, or unknown WhatsApp numbers. Always verify by calling the official No Finance Cars number: 011 826 6262.

4
Red Flag
Requests for Sensitive Information

Never share your ID number, bank account details, or payslips through unsecured channels. NFC protects your personal information at every stage using secure systems.

5
Red Flag
Deals That Sound Too Good to Be True

Watch out for instant approval with no paperwork, unrealistically low deposits, or “special offers” that skip basic qualifications. NFC’s real requirements are clear and transparent:

NFC’s Actual Requirements
  • Valid South African driver’s licence
  • Minimum net income of R15,000/month (or R60,000 if self-employed)
  • Deposit of R12,500
Anything outside of this is a likely scam.

How to Protect Yourself
  • Verify directly with NFC before making any payments — don’t act on information from unofficial sources
  • Take your time to check details — scammers rely on rushing victims into bad decisions
  • Use official NFC channels only: www.nfc.co.za
  • Report suspicious activity to NFC and the South African Fraud Prevention Service (SAFPS)
