Letâs go through what you should do if you encounter these warning signs:
1. **Shirt on Windshield Wiper:** If you find a shirt wrapped around your windshield wiper, donât remove it immediately. Get into your car quickly and drive away to a well-lit area with people around before discarding the clothing. This tactic is used to distract and potentially harm drivers.
2. **Envelope in Your Car:** If you find an envelope in your locked car, drive away immediately and consider your carâs security. Donât open the envelope; instead, discard it. Scammers may use it to trick you into paying for unnecessary services.
3. **Water Bottle on Bonnet:** A water bottle on your carâs hood is meant to distract you. Donât exit the vehicle to remove it. Instead, drive home directly or to a police station. Scammers may have placed a GPS tracker on your car.
Stay vigilant and prioritize your safety. If unsure about your carâs security, seek professional help from a reputable auto repair shop.
