Taking advantage of the psychology of many people wanting to buy used Audi cars or old models, bad guys steal information and images from the real website of the famous German car company and then create fake websites of the company's dealerships, in order to trick people into paying deposits and buying cars.

Targeting people who want to buy used Audi cars, the common point of fake websites is to post old car models at attractive prices, which seem to be bargains but are not too unreasonably cheap to avoid suspicion. When someone asks to buy, they use the trick of psychological manipulation, urging the victim to quickly pay for the entire car or deposit money to avoid someone else buying the "bargain". In many cases, car papers are also forged to reassure buyers without knowing that they are falling into a trap.

This type of scam has appeared widely in many countries such as Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the US. Audi has had to warn users about the many fake websites of the company. Audi also did not say whether the company could help the victims or not. Consumers need to be extremely careful to avoid losing money to cybercriminals.
