Car Scamming - Preventable and NonRP

Recommended Posts

Selling a car at the market magically makes a vehicle scam proof. But you can't sell a vehicle to a person without there being a huge risk of being scammed, which technically is not against the rules. On top of which, you can use /showvehicles when someone steals your car to show the location as soon as they step outside of it. None of this makes any sense in the world of RP, so a command to sell a vehicle should be implemented.

/sellvehicle [license] [player_ID] 50000
and
/tradevehicle [license] [target_license]

Otherwise, there should be an official way like an escrow at a bank to pay taxes on such transactions and lock both assets or also insure scamming is impossible. 

Additional info:
Once a transaction is completed, a scammed vehicle that was suppose to be traded should be treated the same as a stolen vehicle. However, it is not placed as one of your owned vehicles, which is why this command is needed.

I believe improving the RP around contracts and the law itself should be the way. The server is missing a court. When two have a contract and yet despite of the contract one of the parties scams, the victim should be able to file a lawsuit. In a real world, there is no /sellvehicle command. In the real world, you can get scammed if you are too foolish to let them. But on the other hand, in the real world, if you legally prepared yourself for a scam, you can file a lawsuit.

There is no way to file a lawsuit on this server and the police department doesn't care much about such matters (absolutely depends on the officer). 

So no, I do not like the direction in which this suggestion is going, since it seems to me as against RP. But I still do give a +1  since it is much more RP-like than how it is right now.

Firstly, we do not plan on adding this security blanket to private sales. If you don't wish to get scammed you can use the cars markets.
Secondly, there are many ways you can "report" a player ICly for scamming you. For example the Investigation Bureau.

Thank you for your suggestion.
