DISREGARD listings in the TPI Concessions booklet under the headings “VEHICLE DEALERSHIPS” and “VEHICLE FLEET DISCOUNTS AND PARTNER PROGRAMS”
Please note: NCB National Car Brokers listed in the TPI NSW Concessions booklet appears to have recently been operating a scam. Our enquiries have revealed that several people who have paid deposits to purchase a car through this business have not received their car, and their deposit has not been refunded. NCB National Car Brokers, despite being registered with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC), is also now not contactable by phone. TPI NSW are in the process of reporting the situation to NSW Police, Scamwatch and other authorities.
NSW Police have advised that there are currently “hundreds” of car sale scams being operated by professional criminals. NSW Police further advise that the safest way to buy a car is directly from a dealership.
