Post the Decal!

Curbsiders lurk in the private classifieds – both online and in print. They pose as private sellers but are anything but; these illegal sellers are actually in the business of selling cars. They’re predators who hide behind their computers and take advantage of vulnerable vehicle buyers. One way to help consumers avoid these con artists is by telling them about the consumer protection that is offered ONLY when they buy from Ontario-registered dealers.

The year’s campaign warns vehicle buyers of the dangers curbsiders pose and introduces the Creepometer – a tool vehicle buyers can use to help identify curbsiders. Click here to learn more.

For even more credibility, dealers may include the decal in their advertisements. An image of the decal can be downloaded at BuyWithConfidence.ca.
