Not at all. There was a time, when the internet was still new and people didn't know how to protect themselves, that fraud was more common. Over the last 15-20 years, however, fraud in the car transport industry has dropped significantly.
The reason for the drop has to do with several factors. One, brokers like us work hard to ensure we only use top-rated shippers. Review sites are bigger than ever now, and those sites work hard as well to prevent fraud. So fraudulent auto transport companies are, thankfully, almost all a relic of a by-gone era.
