Have you been asked to provide a 4-digit carsales SMS code from a seller? We are currently aware of a scam where scammers are contacting people through various websites and platforms requesting a 4-digit carsales SMS code from them.
Sometimes these scammers act as employers looking for workers, and to send them a code to find out more information. If you have not requested any seller details, you should not provide a code to anyone, especially if you do not know them.
If a code from carsales is passed onto a scammer, you have given them access to use your details to obtain sellers phone numbers.
