Expat Woman Falls Victim To Online Car Scam
An expatriate woman in Bahrain has come forward to share her painful experience after falling victim to an online car sale scam. The 40-year-old, who filed a case with the police, is urging others-especially fellow expats-to be cautious when dealing with online advertisements and installment car sales. Speaking to News of Bahrain, she explained how a group of individuals posed as agents selling vehicles on installment plans through social media and other online platforms. 'They told us the car was available for BD400 as a down payment and BD50 as a monthly installment. We saw the car, even went for a test drive. Everything seemed fine,' she said. She and her family paid BD50 in advance and agreed to meet the following morning to finalize the contract. But what happened next left them shocked. 'The next morning, the so-called agent asked us to send the remaining BD350 through BenefitPay. He said he would bring the agreement immediately. But after receiving the money, he disappeared. He stopped answering our calls and blocked all communication.' Now, heartbroken and financially strained, she is warning others not to fall for similar traps. 'We are expats. We work hard to earn our money. Please be careful and don't trust such deals without proper verification,' she said. The matter is currently under police investigation. Victims are urging others to spread awareness and avoid any unofficial or suspicious car sales online. Also read: Bahrain: Court Orders Dealer To Repay BD6,800 After Car Sale Dispute
