Scams can be prevalent on other peer-to-peer platforms . Stay vigilant:

• Beware of “Too Good to Be True” Offers:
If a buyer is overly eager or offers to pay more than the asking price, it’s likely a scam.


• Use Secure Payment Methods:
Cash payments or verified bank transfers are safest. Avoid checks or mobile money payments without confirmation.


• Meet in Safe Public Spaces:
Conduct transactions at secure locations like police stations, DVLA offices, or busy fuel stations.


• Verify Buyer Information:
Request identification to confirm their identity before proceeding.

• Avoid Remote Transactions:
Do not agree to sell your car to buyers who refuse to see the car in person or send “agents.”

Tip: If unsure, involve a trusted third party or professional to oversee the sale.
