To avoid car export scams from Dubai, verify the exporter’s trade licence and showroom address, pay only to the company bank account shown on an official proforma invoice, confirm the car with a live video and its VIN, and check the export documents before shipping. Never pay to a personal account or under pressure.<\/p>\n

Checklist<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Verify the company.<\/strong> Ask for the trade licence and the legal company name, and confirm them with the issuing authority. A real exporter will share them without hesitation.<\/li>\n
  2. Check the showroom address.<\/strong> Look it up on a map and ask for a live video call from the showroom. Red flag: no physical address or a different address on each document.<\/li>\n
  3. Match the bank account to the company name.<\/strong> The account holder must be the company, not an individual. Confirm the details by phone or WhatsApp before sending money.<\/li>\n
  4. Insist on a proforma invoice.<\/strong> It should show the VIN, specification, price, shipping terms (FOB, CFR, or CIF), and payment details.<\/li>\n
  5. Ask for a live video and the VIN.<\/strong> Check that the VIN in the video matches the invoice. Red flag: only stock photos.<\/li>\n
  6. Be careful with prices far below market.<\/strong> If the price is much lower than similar cars, ask why. Scams usually start with an offer that is too good.<\/li>\n
  7. Consider an independent inspection.<\/strong> A third-party inspector can check the car before shipping, which helps if you cannot visit Dubai.<\/li>\n
  8. Know the documents you should receive.<\/strong> Commercial invoice, Dubai Customs export<\/a> declaration, and Bill of Lading, plus any certificate your country requires.<\/li>\n
  9. Use traceable payment methods.<\/strong> Bank transfer to the company account is traceable. Avoid cash handovers or payments to private wallets.<\/li>\n
  10. Look for independent proof.<\/strong> Check Google reviews, LinkedIn, YouTube, and past buyers’ feedback, not only the exporter’s own website.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
