The widespread popularity of all Just JDM Cars websites unfortunately also makes them a target for scammers. While it’s impossible to completely prevent scammers from reaching out through fraudulent emails and SMS messages, following the checklist below can help ensure a safe buying and selling experience with Just JDM Cars. Always use common sense to detect and avoid fraud—remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is! If you ever have doubts about a buyer or seller’s legitimacy, it’s best to walk away.

Stay Safe When Buying & Selling

• Be cautious of buyers or sellers who communicate only through email or SMS. Whenever possible, speak directly with them.
• Never share your credit card or bank account details over the phone or via email unless you fully trust the seller.
• Be wary of emails or SMS messages requesting money deposits for freight, insurance, or other additional costs.
• Ignore messages claiming that money is being held for you.
• For large purchases, request additional photos and specific item details only a genuine seller would know.
• Ask plenty of questions to verify that the seller is knowledgeable about the item.
• Whenever possible, meet the seller in person and make direct payments.
• Request a receipt from the seller, especially for cash transactions.
• Use a bank cheque for large payments—it’s safer for both you and the seller.
• Confirm payment before proceeding with a sale or further communication with a buyer.
• Monitor your bank and credit card statements after making online purchases and report any suspicious transactions to your bank or credit union.
• If you’ve been scammed, seek guidance from your local Office of Fair Trading, ASIC, or the ACCC.
• If you suspect fraudulent activity on any Just JDM Cars site, contact our Trust and Safety team immediately.

By staying vigilant and following these guidelines, you can help ensure a secure and hassle-free experience with Just JDM Cars.
