Autopods on the roads

No one wants to become a victim of auto supports. Fraudsters do not stop at nothing and demonstrate their acting data in full. So, until today, the most common ways of auto supporters were:

• rigged accident, where the main participant is an expensive car;
• registration of the Euro protocol of an accident outside the scene;
• fake downed passenger.

But drivers began to react less and less to such tricks, the scammers had to turn on their imagination and invent something new. So, fraudulent schemes are only gaining momentum, so you should always be alert.

1. Pedestrian jump under the car

The scheme is simple: the victim's car pulls up to a pedestrian crossing. When everyone has crossed the road and it is already possible to begin the movement, a scammer suddenly falls under the wheels. Then pretends that he was deliberately shot down and pretends to be a victim. Accordingly, a support group of fake witnesses is ready.

Then simply-extort a decent amount. Often the main character is represented by a law enforcement officer and offers to solve the case with an envelope with bills.

2. Stand your own car

Most often such situations occur in the winter. It's all just as simple. A car overtakes another car, cuts it and dramatically slows down in front of the victim. She still does not have time to slow down and accordingly violates Section 12.1 of the Road Rules-non-observance of the distance. Of course, there is only one outcome: they will demand a certain amount in order to “hush up” the case.

3. Accident with expensive car

The fraudsters had to work hard to develop such a technique. Luxury car goes for you and then you hear a blow to the body of his car. If the victim stops, several people immediately run out shouting that their car is damaged.

If a fake emergency is created, then you will be asked to leave the place of the "Accident" and arrange everything for the europrotocol. Here you are charged the amount to repay, most often it is even more than 50 thousand UAH. And if you call the police, then you can be fined for leaving the scene of the incident: deprived of the right to 1 year. Most often, people agree to give money.

4. Downed child in the parking lot

Most often, this scheme occurs in the parking lots of supermarkets. You sit down at your car and start backing away and hear a blow from behind. Come out to check the situation and see the child unconscious.

A relative immediately runs up to you shouting that you shot down his child. And the “victim” itself very skillfully depicts the victim. Then a loving relative offers to solve the situation without a scandal-to pay a certain amount.

5. Have given way

Here the participants of the action will be 2 dummy machines. You are driving in the left lane and behind you a car starts beeping and blinking headlights so that you give way. Well, you start rebuilding and the second car takes over, which cuts you off the starboard. Well, then everything follows the usual pattern.

6. Crossed the road 2

The principle is the same as in the first case, only in the car just throw some object, so that you hear the sound of impact. And now one scammer will distract you with shouts and scandals, and the second with sandpaper will make a few scuffs.

If the victim immediately says that her insurance company will cover all costs, the fraudsters will immediately leave the false scene. After all, so their actions will become closed.

7. Substituting the rear bumper

This is one of the easiest ways: fraudsters turn in reverse and drive into your front bumper. Of course, you will be accused of an emergency. As you can see, no complicated schemes, but even for such a banal action, you can pay a decent amount.

8. Athlete

You drive up to a pedestrian crossing, where there are two guys on the side of the road who seem to be not going to cross the road. But as soon as you start driving, they abruptly start crossing and hit the car, then to accuse the driver of an accident. Yes, they tell you that you allegedly injured the athlete’s leg, which very soon had a competition with a big fee. Well, accordingly, he now can not participate in it and lose this amount.

New Stand

In Ukraine, a new technique has recently begun to be applied. Focus only on trucks. The scammer puts a mannequin on the side of the road, and when you pass, with the help of a rope, he will be under your wheels. And you, of course, think that you have shot down a person.

If you slow down, the fraudsters quickly rob the cab of the truck and take everything that can be sold later. If you have not noticed or decided to leave the scene of the incident, the fraudsters start chasing you and demand a decent amount further.
