So…You’re driving along a highway, the weather’s good, and you’re in total control of the car. And suddenly - bam! – another driver comes out of nowhere, cuts you off, and slams the brakes! Naturally, you can't avoid the collision. Sounds like a typical fender bender, but you might be surprised to know that this is one of many scams people try to pull on the road! Or imagine that you’re slowly creeping along the parking lot looking for a spot with full concentration. But suddenly, a person walking past your car hits the ground, most likely damaging or even breaking off your side view mirror in the process. You get out of the car to see if they’re ok, and the “victim” starts threatening you that they'll call the police... What would you do in this case?

SUMMARY:
- Pay attention to the passengers' behavior. If they move around freely and start pretending to be badly injured only after the police and ambulance arrive, the accident is most likely a scam.
- Never agree to towing services from strangers who conveniently pop up out of nowhere! Not only will this person demand payment for his towing services, but his buddies at the garage may also trick you by saying that your car needs some costly repairs.
- Whatever happens, do not accept any suspicious help. If something like this ever happens to you, just call a friend, relative, or a trusted mechanic to come help you out.
- Don’t be one of the gullible ones! Simply agree to call the police right then and there. Sometimes that alone is enough to send the “victim” running. But even if they suddenly have a change of heart and promise that “everything’s cool, no hard feelings or complaints,” insist that they wait for the police to come and file a report.
- Crooks slow down and wave their hand to signal that they’re letting the driver in. But just as the unsuspecting victim merges into the lane, the good Samaritan speeds up and crashes into their car! The next thing the victim knows, the crook vehemently denies ever letting the other driver over and claims that they just merged right into them!
- By no means should you ever send money to strangers with threats! It’ll only encourage them to keep going. Call the police! Also, try to leave your car only in secured parking lots, and get your alarm system checked regularly by your car’s manufacturer.
- Please remember that people fall victim to these kinds of scams more often than you think. Whether it’s because they want to save time or would prefer to settle a problem on their own without the police or lawyers, it does happen.
