The article highlights various tactics scammers use to distract and potentially harm drivers. One such tactic is placing a plastic bottle on the hood of your car, which could indicate a GPS tracker is attached. Other common distractions include a shirt on the windshield wiper or an envelope inside your car, both intended to divert your attention while scammers approach.
If you encounter any of these scenarios, the advice is to avoid getting out of the vehicle immediately. Instead, drive to a safe, well-lit area or a police station and seek help. The goal is to stay vigilant, avoid opening suspicious items, and prioritize your safety over investigating strange occurrences. If you’re ever unsure about your car’s security, consider having it checked by a professional.
