· Be aware of the red flags planning to buy or sell a vehicle online

- If someone offers to send you a cheque but requires your banking or credit card information first, this is a good indication of a possible fraud.
- Sellers should never transfer ownership or release their vehicle until they have received full payment by cash, money order, or certified cheque.
- If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is.
