What is the 'Deposit Pool' Method In Eskişehir, some car sellers ask buyers to pay a certain amount of money under the name of a "deposit pool." The money is held by the seller in a pool while the sale is pending.
How the Scam Works Buyers report that the money they deposit is never returned, and in some cases the vehicle is not delivered.
In reality, the seller places the funds into the pool before handing over the vehicle or the money to the buyer.
Warnings and Recommendations The Chamber of Commerce official, Sülahi Özalp, stresses that this method does not exist officially and warns consumers to be cautious of fraud.
"Buyers should conduct vehicle sales through a notary, ensuring both parties are present and documents are exchanged on site for a secure transaction," Özalp said.
Consumers are advised to contact relevant official institutions and to use official sales channels to protect themselves from such scams.
