Auto fraud in the Spittal district: dealers loses thousands of euros!

A car dealer from the Spittal district on the Drau has probably been the victim of a fraud. At the beginning of March, he received a promising email from an alleged internationally active rental car agency, which offered him several well -preserved used cars at a convincing price. The dealer decided to buy five cars and transferred several ten thousand euros to an account in Germany. But the delivery failed to materialize, and all attempts to contact the supposed sellers remained unsuccessful. The email address no longer existed-a clear sign of fraud. The dealer then filed a complaint with the police, and now the investigation is underway because such cases are increasingly occurring, such as Klick-kaernten.at reports.

In the context of purchase contracts, the legal handling of delivery dates is also relevant. As autokauflecht.info Assume, even if in the general terms and conditions (*AGB*) it says that written confirmation is necessary. A buyer has the right to withdraw from a purchase contract, but this right does not automatically run if he first holds back his declaration of withdrawal and tries to negotiate discounts. It is crucial that the seller cannot make sense that the buyer does not resign. In addition, it was found that a delivery period specified with “end of February/early March” is not considered absolutely binding, as long as it was not clearly referred to as a fixed date.

These legal aspects illustrate the complexity of car buying and underline the need for care when the contract is concluded, especially at a time in the Internet fraud. Traders and buyers should be aware of the risks and exercise appropriate caution.
