04/06/2022 – A young man declared he was victim of a scam when trying to buy his first car on April the 4th in Embaré. The salesperson asked for his personal information and photographed his face to see what a possible financing with the bank would look like. Later, the victim discovered that this financing had already been closed without his authorization. He keeps on calling the bank, still today, to cancel the payment, but does not manage to get what he wants.
Our analysis:
In the case mentioned above, it is important to keep in mind that the client is the only person supposed to contact his own bank to see what is possible to do regarding bank financing. The criminal here used a very unusual procedure: car sellers are not supposed to take a photo of their client. If you find yourself in such a situation, trying to buy a car or anything else and the procedure seems strange to you, leave the place you are at and do not give any of your personal information.
