The vehicle tracking company Tracker has issued an alert about a recent car theft syndicate scam happening across SA.

The company said clients were being contacted by scammers pretending to work for Tracker and other car tracking companies. The scammers advise clients there is something wrong with their tracking device and claim they need to repair or replace the device.

Tracker said clients could avoid being scammed by asking the caller to take them through the Tracker security verification questions associated with their account to verify the legitimacy of the call. If they are unable to do so, advise them you will contact someone at Tracker to verify their claim., cases of carjacking have seen the biggest increase year-on-year.

AI-driven car insurance provider Naked, which overlays the eNatis database of registered vehicles on crime statistics, said hijackings increased steeply in the Western Cape , Gauteng , and KwaZulu-Natal .
