“No payments until …” scam

This is one of the most common advertising scams of car dealers. The scam occurs when the dealership makes you believe that you don’t have to pay for 6 months. However, later when you have already purchased the car and have signed all the paperwork necessary the car dealer informs you that the car is due for payment in 2 months. What is even worse some consumers will not even be applicable at all. They can claim a typographical error or that the deal was a week ago. Be aware, as this is simply a dealer fraud and you should get your deposit back.

You can avoid this scam by asking the dealer to put that in writing before you purchase the car and make your deposit by credit card so that you can refute it.
