Fraud Awareness – Stay Safe with JitCar

Phishing Scams

Phishing is one of the most common types of fraud, where scammers attempt to trick you into sharing your personal information, such as credit card numbers or passwords, by posing as legitimate companies.

• How to Protect Yourself: Always verify the source of emails, texts, or phone calls that ask for sensitive information. At JitCar, we will never request sensitive information via email or text messages. If you receive suspicious communication, contact us directly through our official customer service channels.

Fake Listings and Vehicle Misrepresentation

Sometimes, fraudsters will create fake listings for cars that don’t exist, or they may misrepresent the condition of a vehicle in an effort to make a quick sale.

• How to Protect Yourself: Ensure the vehicle you are interested in is listed through a legitimate, reputable site. At JitCar, all vehicles are thoroughly inspected and listed with accurate descriptions, photos, and vehicle history reports. If something seems too good to be true, trust your instincts and proceed with caution.

Fake Payment Methods

Scammers may try to trick you into making payments through unsafe or non-refundable methods, such as wire transfers or prepaid gift cards, which provide no protection for the buyer.

• How to Protect Yourself: Always ensure that payments are made through secure, recognized methods. At JitCar, we only accept payments through trusted, secure payment platforms, and we will never ask for payment via wire transfer or gift cards.

Identity Theft

Fraudulent actors may try to steal your personal or financial information during the transaction process, often using fake forms or impersonating legitimate businesses.
