• Additional Info:

  On January 12, 2021 BBB Serving the Atlantic Provinces sent
  a letter to Veritas Motors Incorporated requesting information on the business
  structure and practice, in particular its policy on delivery of orders.
  This inquiry was prompted by submitted complaints as well as
  several telephone inquires from consumers regarding the business’ failure to
  deliver purchased vehicles and subsequent failure to communicate regarding the
  status of the purchase and the requested refund of monies paid for undelivered vehicles.
  Having received no response, BBB sent a second letter to the
  business on Jan 28th, 2021. This letter was also unanswered. Neither letter was
  returned as undeliverable.
  BBB encourages consumers to use caution when purchasing
  vehicles online or from a distance which are to be delivered to the consumer.

  Avoid Online Car Sales Scams:

   
  There are plenty of pros to buying a car online, but caution
  is needed as well. Anytime you shop online, and especially when making an
  expensive purchase like a car, you should keep the following tips in mind:
  Watch out for too good to be true deals. They are most
  likely a scam. Scammers often steal consumers’ personal information and money
  by offering them high-value goods at extremely discounted prices.
  Never wire funds or complete bank-to-bank transactions.
  Scammers love this kind of transaction because there is no way for you to get
  your money back once it is completed. Instead, make legitimate purchases by
  check or credit-card.
  Contact the seller by phone. At some point during your
  negotiations, speak with the sales manager on the phone. If they are unusually
  vague about certain details of the sale or cannot confirm their location or the
  vehicle location, it’s most likely a scam.
  See the car first. Never buy a car without making an
  in-person inspection and taking test drive first.
  
  Don’t give in to pressure. Scammers often try to pressure
  you into giving up your personal information or making a down payment before
  you have time to think about the purchase. Take your time and think a deal over
  before agreeing to anything. If you get a bad feeling, listen to your gut.
  
  Don’t trust a seller or buyer who says that the transaction
  is guaranteed by eBay, PayPal, Craigslist, or another online marketplace. These
  sites explicitly explain they cannot guarantee that people using their services
  are legitimate. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.
