JOHANNESBURG – Tracker vehicle tracking company has alerted clients to a syndicate operating a car theft scam in South Africa.
Tracker said customers were being contacted by scammers pretending to work for the company and other car tracking companies, who told customers there was something wrong with their tracking device and they had to go out and repair or replace the device .
“Once on the scene, the perpetrators will claim that they need to test the device by taking the car for a test drive or they will say that they cannot complete the repairs on site and must take the vehicle back to the assembly center,” Tracker said. .
The company said customers could protect themselves against this by asking the caller to walk them through the Tracker security verification questions associated with their account to verify the legitimacy of the call. If they can’t, let them know that you’ll need to contact someone at Tracker to verify your claim.
