Recently, a Franchised NHADA Member reported a fraudulent attempt at purchasing tires from their Parts department. **Here’s how it played out:**

- Member receives phone call from an out-of-state customer  
  Customer places large order (for 6 tires) and attempts to pay with credit card  
  Member attempts to require identification at time of pick up and purchase of items
- Member is told a 3rd party will pick up
- Member tells buyer they will still need identification verification with the purchase
- The caller hangs up not to be heard from again

Remember to always collect valid payment up front and beware of third-party pick-up plans.

*If you think you have been affected by a scam be sure to pass on the information to make others aware. Be sure to [file a complaint with the NHDOJ](https://www.doj.nh.gov/consumer/complaints/index.htm) and let us know so that we can alert other NHADA members.*
