Car Auction & Autotrader Fraud

Postby SecureTrading » Mon Aug 20, 2007 9:40 am

The steady the growth in e-commerce has unfortunately led to increasing amounts of online fraud, perpetuated by hijacking or leveraging a reputable financial brand.

As a result of SecureTrading's size in the market, its market leading position, and its strong brand identity in terms of trust and consumer confidence, scammers have started using the SecureTrading brand to trick customers. The current scam involves the scammer asking you to pay a deposit to a SecureTrading agent, before delivery of the car takes place.

SecureTrading does not offer any escrow or non-credit card payment services and does not hold funds between merchants and customers, nor do we employ agents to take such payments.

If you have been a victim of this scam or are suspicious of a transaction, please send details to legal@securetrading.com.
