Dear Car Sellers/Buyers,
Please beware of the frauds involved in car buying selling.
There are several fraud types prevailing in market. I will try to define/elaborate some so that people can verify everything while buying/selling.
1- If a car is at a very cheap rate, do not go for it. Jub tak lalchi zinda hai fraud karnay walay ka kam chalay ga.
2- If you are buying from a legitimate owner, you can verify the car details from taxation web site and from City App karachi.
3- Do check the engine chasis of the vehicle and match it with the Car reg card.
4- 15 clearance of the vehicle can also be an option.
5- If you are buying from a person who is not the owner of the vehicle and is carrying the card, you can verify the card from karachi taxation web site.
6- verify the id card of the individual/seller by sending nic number in an sms to 7000. You will get the name and father name so it will be verified.
7- If you are getting a photo stat of the nic, do match verify it with the original nic. It must not be expired.
8- Check the token tax status from karachi city app
9- Always take original number plates. Keys etc.
10- Try to avoid cash payments.
11- Do not take chqs. If in case you are taking a PO, all banks are bound by state bank of Pakistan to verify the PO. You can walk in any branch of the PO issuing bank and get it verified.
Do not take PO on a weekend or a day off.
There are several cases of fake POs which are handed over on weekends.
12- do not pay or take any token money without physical inspection of the vehicle. Another scam is that a car will be posted in a cheaper price and the seller will ask you that i am in a hurry and several other parties are interested. If you are interested send me 1 lac or 50k token. And when you are done you get to know that the number is off and your hard earned money is gone too.
13. If a person says i am bringing a potential buyer and please do not discuss price or final price with the party, give him a shut up call and do not deal with such buyers.
14- Try to deal with people having local adresses.
15- Bluntly ask for details of the individual as in where he lives, works etc.
16- Lalach mai sasti gari k pechay bilkul matt jayay. Lalach 99% cases ke waja hoti.
17- ***Gari mere cousin kay naam hai*** is a story. Dont fall for it. Ask the seller if he deal in cars or not.
18- Always buy from original car owners, authentic show rooms and authentic social media sellers with a know track record of selling buying.
19- Do get a agreement/stamp signed by the seller/buyer.
20- Many sellers are selling the duplicate card cars without informing the buyers. Do get that written in agreement that the car is not with duplicate papers/smart card.
The more verification you do the more safe you will be in such deals.
