Vehicle tracking company Tracker has warned customers of a car theft scam being perpetrated by a crime syndicate in South Africa.
The scam involves Tracker customers being contacted by criminals who pretend to work for the vehicle tracking company and then advising them something is wrong with the device before taking the car for a test drive and to a so called fitment centre never to be seen again.
Tracker says the scammers have targeted the customers of several vehicle tracking companies and it is not exclusive to Tracker customers.
Tracker advised customers to verify the identity of any technicians claiming to represent the company.
“If you are contacted about repairs to your tracking device by someone claiming to be from Tracker, please ask them to take you through the Tracker security verification questions associated with your account in order to verify the legitimacy of the call.”
Tracker says their technicians will never need to nor should they ask to test drive a customer’s vehicle.
