Investigation Alerts on Deposit Scams in Ads
The Criminal Investigation Department has warned citizens about online scam operations related to vehicle sale ads and farm rentals via social media and digital platforms. They urged the public not to pay any sums before verifying the authenticity of the advertisements and conducting on-site inspections. The department explained that fraudsters use enticing offers and low prices to lure victims, demanding quick deposits under the pretext of reservations, exploiting victims' fear of missing out on the opportunity. They emphasized that the fundamental rule to avoid fraud is not to make any advance payments until confirming the identity of the advertiser and the validity of the documents, and to deal only with trusted accounts and licensed agencies.
