SOUTH AFRICANS should take extra care before buying goods online.
Buying a car or any other item can be an exciting but nerve-wracking exercise for most people, which is why you shouldalways be vigilant.
Just about everything can be done online these days, from intercontinental board meetings to ordering groceries and even finding love.
But buying property or a car, based on its online listing photos is like a Tinder match before meeting up in person.
It’s risky, to say the least.
Those who purchase property or a car without viewing or testing it in person should be careful.
Digital marketing tends to highlight the good features of something and exclude its bad points.
I encourage Mzansi to be careful because what you see on the internet cansometimes be deceiving.
Not everything is as good in reality as it looks online.
