There are many people on the Internet trying to scam individuals out of their vehicle and/or money. So how can you tell if a buyer is legit? After years of selling vehicles online, we've heard of many schemes and scams. Since the late 1990's, most of them have been transacted via email due to the ease and anonymity of setting up email accounts.
The simplest way to determine if someone is legit is to have them call you. If you are selling a vehicle on Once Driven and someone suspicious emails you, ask them to call you to discuss the vehicle. Considering most scams originate from overseas or foreign countries, the vast majority of scammers will move on to their next target. Phone numbers are traceable and it's difficult to hide their true intentions via phone.
If someone does try to perpetuate a scam via phone, it is typically done by pretending to call from a company. Over the years, our staff has been alerted to individuals calling on customers on behalf of Once Driven. If you ever receive a call from Once Driven, please listen for a name and phone number. No representative from our company will call a buyer or seller without leaving proper credentials.

Oncedriven.com is a TOTAL SCAM!
ReplyDeleteOnce Driven contacted us to sell our scooter in Nov 2014 stating they had "buyers lined up". It's almost February and we still have yet to receive even 1 call from from their efforts! They're eager to take your money, but then go MIA when they get your money. My rep Jennifer Williams is constantly dodging my calls and is completely unresponsive. I called on the 45th day to get my refund for their ineffective marketing and they said the scooter would have had to been sold (by other means) in order to get it.
Beware if you should ever get a call from @OnceDriven wanting your money! They are a completely unprofessional, unresponsive, unmotivated and unsatisfactory!
