“So you can avoid Blocketbedragarna: ”Is the golden rule of””
“are you Thinking of buying a second hand car on the Block? Then it can be good to think a little extra security. So here is what you do to minimize the risk of being cheated.”
“a Lot of people buy cars through online ads and for the most part go to the shops as planned. But at the same time, there are fraudsters who use dirty tricks to cheat people out of money.”
“in Order to avoid being blown when buying car online is the above all one thing you should avoid.”
“– The golden rule is to never pay for anything in advance, ” says Thomas Bäcker, kundsäkerhetschef on the Block.”
“If you have been on the hunt for a particular car model over a period of time and suddenly find someone who sells just such a, it can be tempting to pay money in advance, to ensure that no one else buys the car. But here you have to have ice in the stomach, according to Thomas Bäcker.”
“– most people who sell a car where there are many speculators do not want to have the money in advance. They usually instead like to invite the potential buyers so that they can come and look at the car and thus keep the price up there.”
“By a service on the Block, you can also check the car’s history from the last three years. In this way, you can see if the vehicle was imported, been stolen and what besiktningsrapporterna have to say. It is also possible to pre-write a contract in which both parties bind themselves to the transaction, assuming that the car corresponds to the words in the ad.”
“Swish should only be used for payment when the buyer and seller meet face-to-face, recommends Thomas Bäcker. But it is also possible to use the service to prepare for a potential purchase.”
“– If you get a cell phone number from a seller, which is linked to Swish, one can try to key in the number and see what name you get up, but to carry out the payment. In this way, you can check if the name you get is the same person who is the owner of the car.”
