Dear Editor<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to bring to your and your readers attention a vehicle scam that is on the go by a certain car sales business in Port Elizabeth that is selling cars fraudulently and pocketing the money.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll explain how it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. John wants to sell his car.<\/li>\n
  2. He takes it to Mr X\u2019s car lot to sell on his behalf.<\/li>\n
  3. Mr X sells the car with full documentation to Solly, but doesn\u2019t inform John that the car is sold and pockets the money.<\/li>\n
  4. A few days down the line, John goes to Mr X and sees his car gone.<\/li>\n
  5. John goes the whole route of going to the police to open a case etc.<\/li>\n
  6. The police question Mr X and discover the car has been sold.<\/li>\n
  7. The police trace the car via traffic records and confiscate the vehicle that was \u2018legally\u2019 bought and paid for, yet Mr X and his partner are not immediately arrested!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Solly now loses his money and the car. He must now seek legal advice and pay more money for something he was not party to.<\/p>\n

    Please make sure you have thoroughly checked all documentation first before buying anything from a 3rd party seller.<\/p>\n

    (All names have been changed to protect the identity of persons while this case is under investigation.)<\/p>\n

    Regards<\/p>\n
