    Current Alerts For This Business

    Alert:

    Consumers have advised BBB Serving the Atlantic Provinces of Canada that this company was previously known as Jalynn Auto.

    Here is the information noted on Jalynn Auto's BBB Profile page:

     

    BBB Serving Atlantic Canada has reason to believe that this business, Jalynn Auto LTD does not actually exist in our region.
    Multiple consumers have reported concerns about this company which appears to be fraudulent, and which had been using the address of a legitimate Auto Dealership in Corner Brook Newfoundland.
    BBB has confirmed that the address the business has been using, and the name Jalynn Auto, are being fraudulently used to perpetuate this scheme.
    Here’s how it works:
    Consumers answered ads seen on popular classified listing websites for high end vehicles, boats, RV's, trailers, skid steers, campers, cars, and other vehicles. They then contact  the “dealership” which advises the consumer to forward a 50% deposit via bank or wire transfer along with passport information; and promises that the item will be delivered to their home.
    The vehicle never arrives, the consumers have lost their deposit and are now facing potential identity theft.
    The actual perpetrators behind this scam are very likely located overseas.
    The BBB urges extreme caution when paying via wire transfer, as this is an untraceable method of payment and, once you pay with a wire transfer, your money is gone with generally no way to recover it.
    Do your homework.
    BBB is seeing an increasing number of scenarios like this. Scammers are stealing and using legitimate business names, owner and officer names, addresses and other pieces of information to appear more believable.
    BBB Serving the Atlantic Provinces recommends the following tips to avoid losing money on online vehicle purchases:
    Do not pay with a wire transfer. Scammers usually avoid payment by check, credit card or other traceable methods. Pay by credit card whenever possible in case you need to challenge the payment.

    Use a domain registration website to discover how long the website has been in existence. Contact information may also be available. Scammers posing as vehicle dealers, brokers, or large vehicle shipping services often direct consumers to a second website to complete the transaction.

    Do not trust photos as they can be easily copied from the internet. Do a reverse image search to see if a photo has been misappropriated from another website. Whenever possible, insist on meeting the seller and inspecting the vehicle before releasing any money.

    Check the vehicle’s book value with legitimate valuation tools. Scammers often lure buyers with prices that are a fraction of the vehicle’s book price so buyers will act quickly. Deals that seem too good to be true usually are.

    Find the contact information listed on the company’s website. A search on Google Maps may show if the location appears to be valid. If a phone number is listed, make a quick call to determine if it’s a working number or even affiliated with the company.
