As part of ISAK, ADAC, AutoScout24, Kleinanzeigen, mobile.de and the state and federal police crime prevention agencies provide information about preventive aspects relating to the topic of buying cars on the Internet.
“Safer Car Buying on the Internet” initiative to prevent criminal activity
According to a Statista survey, the proportion of online shoppers in Germany has grown by 20 percent to over 67 million since 2017 (source: Statista Digital Market Insights ). Purchasing vehicles via online platforms is also becoming increasingly popular. However, these developments also increase the attractiveness for criminal activities, which consumers have been able to find out about preventing since 2007 from the “Safer Car Buying on the Internet” initiative on the website https://www.sicherer-autokauf.de/ .
However, the five members of the initiative are now pooling their expertise on the state and federal police crime prevention website. ISAK would like to position itself even more prominently as a central contact point for all topics relating to online vehicle purchases and possible fraud methods on the Internet. Users can also find all the answers to the most important questions about the digital purchasing process here: from contacting, viewing and payment to sample forms.
As part of the initiative, the leading online vehicle markets mobile.de and AutoScout24 joined forces with the ADAC in 2007. In 2008, the state and federal police crime prevention agencies joined ISAK as the fourth partner. In 2022, Classifieds became a member of the initiative.
In addition, you can now find ISAK at polizei-beratung.de and also at: Sicherer-autokauf.de
