Scam contentsThey claim to sell reposessed vehicles, but they demand a R10 000 deposit before you can even ho to see the vehicle. The photos of their staff seems to be fake. At least one of the staff photos can be found on other websites using google image search. They claim to have been in business for 15 years but there are glaring spelling mistakes on the site. They attempt to pressure you into paying the deposit immediately to prevent the vehicle from going on auction. I tried finding the company name (Rhodes Auto Sales) on CIPROZA but could not find a company by that name. I further looked up their address on google maps but although there is a car sales business at that address, it has a completely different name. The bank account they gave me seems to be for an individual called M Goliath, and not a business account. I refused to pay the deposit because I could not confirm them as being a legitimate business.
Comment / ReviewI suspect this "company" tries to scam people out of R10 000 by asking for a deposit to prevent a repossessed car from going on auction and not allowing you to go and view the car before paying.
