Warning for South Africans buying cars via online auctions
'These sophisticated scammers create convincing fake accounts that use WesBank branding, purporting to be official representatives selling bank auction vehicles.' Many people in South Africa opt to buy second-hand cars for various reasons and at different places. One of the most popular ways to buy a car is at an auction, due to the reasonable prices and varied conditions of the cars. As the world advances, so have the methods to participate in an auction. Thanks to technology, one can buy a car from an auction while sitting in the comfort of their own home, office, restaurant, or even at an airport. However, WesBank has warned individuals of the risks of buying at an online auction. ALSO READ: Consumer scammed out of R6 million while 'trading' on JSE The vehicle and asset finance provider reports a surge in online auction scams, particularly on platforms like TikTok. How car scams work WesBank says fraudsters are targeting unsuspecting customers, hoping to capitalise on bargains in the automotive retail space. 'These sophisticated scammers create convincing fake accounts that use WesBank branding, purporting to be official representatives selling bank auction vehicles. They lure unsuspecting buyers with seemingly irresistible deals, pressuring them to pay over large sums of money to 'secure' what appears to be an auction-listed vehicle,' said Lebo Gaoaketse, Head of Marketing and Communication at WesBank. However, once the payment is made, the scammers quickly close their fake accounts and vanish with the customer's money, leaving their victims with no recourse. Tips when buying cars online WesBank offered essential tips people can follow when buying cars online. Registration and deposits: To participate in a legitimate auction, registration is mandatory. A refundable deposit is typically required from the bidder upon registration. It is crucial to understand that a genuine WesBank auction will never require a deposit to secure a specific car before the auction. 'If you are asked for such a deposit, it is a major red flag.' Know the terms and conditions: Always familiarise yourself with the general terms and conditions of auction sales. This includes understanding payment procedures, buyer responsibilities, and refund policies. Beware of 'too good to be true' offers: Always ensure you are dealing with a reputable auction house and an authorised representative. 'As the saying goes, if an offer seems 'too good to be true,' it probably is.' ALSO READ: Tempted by unqualified finfluencers and social media investment ads? Here's why it's a bad idea Dealing with a trusted source 'Always ensure that you are dealing with a registered auction house, and in the case of a bank auction, an official bank representative,' said Gaoaketse. 'Do not be tempted to accept unofficial offers. It is often a ploy to defraud those looking for a good deal. Trust your instincts and proceed with caution. It's better to err on the side of caution than to fall victim to a fraud scheme.' Recognising red flags Staying alert for red flags is crucial to protect yourself. Be vigilant for common warning signs such as: Sellers requesting payment outside of the official auction platform. Reluctance to provide additional information or photos of the vehicle. Vague or inconsistent product descriptions. 'We urge participants to report any suspicious activity promptly to the auction platform to prevent others from falling prey to scams and contribute to a safer online marketplace. By taking note of these guidelines and exercising caution, buyers can confidently navigate vehicle auctions, maximising their chances of securing a quality vehicle at a reasonable price,' Gaoaketse concludes. Always verify information and find reliable details about official WesBank online vehicle auctions by visiting the vehicle and asset finance provider's official page.

Mbombela business owner convicted of fraud
A 38-year-old woman has been sentenced to 36 months' imprisonment for fraud by the Mpumalanga Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Mbombela on Tuesday, July 15. Philisiwe Miriam Pretty Lephoko, the sole director of Premax Trading 43 CC, was convicted under Section 276(1)(i) of the Criminal Procedure Act. Her company was also fined R100 000, a fine wholly suspended for five years on condition that she is not convicted of fraud or theft during this period. According to the National Prosecuting Authority's (NPA) provincial spokesperson, Monica Nyuswa, Lephoko submitted fraudulent Pay-As-You-Earn returns to the South African Revenue Service (Sars) in February 2019, resulting in an undue payment of R464 550.28 into the company's account. The fraud was uncovered during a Sars audit, leading to her arrest in 2023. ALSO READ: Secunda Regional Court sentences rapist to life for raping 8-year-old girl Nyuswa said Lephoko pleaded not guilty and claimed to be a victim of cybercrime. However, the court rejected this version. Advocates Ntwanano Singwane and Kutullo Nyakane presented oral and documentary evidence from Sars and the bank, detailing how Lephoko transferred R200 000 from the Premax account into her personal account. 'The court found the State's witnesses credible and reliable, and dismissed the accused's explanation as a theoretical defence with no substance,' said Nyuswa. ALSO READ: Two guests injured in road accident in Kruger National Park In sentencing, the court noted Lephoko showed no remorse and continued to shift blame despite overwhelming evidence. It also emphasised the prevalence of tax-related fraud and the need for a strong deterrent.
