For the most part, buying and selling a vehicle online is a safe process. However, you should always be aware of potential scams. A scammer may try to use the anonymous environment of the internet to carry out a scam. When you're buying or selling your vehicle, it's important to be sure that you are dealing with a genuine person.

If you see an unusual or suspicious-looking ad or receive an email that you think might be a scam, we encourage you to report it to the Only Boats team. Many scams can be avoided with a little caution.

Reporting a suspicious ad

If it looks too good to be true, it probably is. If you have encountered an ad that looks unusual you can report the ad to the Only Boats team.

Send us an email at hello@onlyboats.com.au. Be sure to provide us with some details about the suspicious ad so that we can properly review your concerns. You can have a confidential chat with our friendly team. We'll be happy to discuss the ad in concern.
