Kakakiautos - Case Of Fraud by kowalsky: 9:26pm On Feb 18 |
Sometime Mid October I contacted KakakiAutos, I think the active handle is lanreg95 to help get a 2017 RX 350 FSport. Had a hard time finding the particular spec I wanted in Nigeria so I considered bringing it in from the US. First contact, swift replies, smooth talk, the entire shenanigans of a sleazy salesman. I'd read a review by 222martins or so where he bought a GX, so I was pretty much comfortable with doing business with this mofo. In the space of two weeks or so I transferred about 45 Million to his account. I was very particular about getting my car to Nigeria before December because well, I wanted to flex on people during Christmas and also because I have a busy schedule, that time would be the only time I'd have time to fix whatever fixables since this was a Copart Vehicle. I got assurance that this would be in Nigeria that time. Since paying for this vehicle all I've got are explanations with no evidences whatsoever. First off. I got two extra bills one because this dude failed to do the FX conversion day I sent him the money. Second for some allegedly unforeseen issues with the vehicle. These extra bills summed up to millions but Fair enough. December came by. No car. January, same. This guy kept barraging me with listicles of illogical excuses. Apparently this car has not even shipped. Now, I understand that things can happen with a deal like this but you know what freaking grinds my gears with this mofo - he speaks too much English. In his head, he's this suave and sleek business man with contextual professional replies for every situation and it’s so fvcking annoying. So much that I've lost my patience, not so much because this car is not in Nigeria but mainly because people like this need to be brought down from that egotistical pedestal they've placed themselves on. You can't hang on to someone else’s 45M and be doing lingual gymnastics and rubbing phonee all around your English. Going forward I will be involving my lawyers and we will see where that ends for both of us. I contemplated against creating this thread but reading this guy's replies on WhatsApp just sent me off the edge. Such an annoying dimwit, thinks he's so smart and posh, Gosh 11 Likes 1 Share |

Next time do your research very well. I had similar experience with abetterbid (auction broker) in 0ctober 2021. But they refund me with almost 2000 dollars losses. 1 Like |

Is so painful that sincere and honest dealers don't get to meet real opportunities...I have said it many times...don't transfer your money to someone you don't know .forget about how people are patronising them....they might be sponsored agent . I had an experience with someone in usa ...he was shouting on me via phone call from usa ...he said he wants to transfer money to me and I rejected the idea cos I do t know him personally...I suggested he had to send money to any of his relatives in lagos to meet up with me . Eventually he agreed and we had a smooth deal . He still respect me till date . Some will collect your money and use part of it to fight you . Some will even go to baba lawo to do juju for you to forget your money . Terrible dealers are making g this business worse . I pray you get your money 1 Like |

iyke4dbi: Lessons learned. From the time he came up with the first excuse that required me to pay an additional sum, I asked for a refund because honestly I hate anything that will stress me. I had the sense that this mofo was either clueless as to what he was doing or was downright a scammer. He gave a sob story about his Copart account and the implications of not paying for a won bid. Again I leaned in on the reviews he had here on Nairaland as reassurance and agreed to continue. Big mistake. 2 Likes |

Nawa ooo. This is the main reason Nigeria can never move forward, you collected someone 45m and didn’t supply the person's need, this is very bad now... Some Nigerians are just plain wicked abeg 2 Likes 1 Share |

I got mentioned here about a review i did on my GX460. Well, i guess i was honest enough to let everyone know that deals don't go smoothly. I have bought several cars on Nairaland for personal use at different times and each transaction had its peculiarity but they all delivered. From an FX35 from Fhemmy, to a Sienna from Gazzuzz, to a Lexus GX460 .....and i can tell you that my offline car purchases were less stressful but more expensive.. N45M is not N4.5M, Kakakibuy, What is going on? 4 Likes |
Re: Kakakiautos - Case Of Fraud by PMMotorliner: 10:46am On Feb 19 |
It will be good to hear from Kakaki too because a coin has two sides. From the side we're seeing, it does not look good. I have a Copart account too and I know things can happen. Maybe rejection due to forklift, storage to wait for forklift space, naira not exchanged on timez etc. t the moment clearing fee for the same car has more than doubled from that October till now so Kakaki needs to speak up, explain his own side of the story, the way out and deliver because a contract is a bond. 45m is not beans? 6 Likes |

The said car has a pending title, so it can be allowed to ship out of America. Until the title is released. 1 Like |

Re: Kakakiautos - Case Of Fraud by kowalsky: 7:16pm On Feb 19 |
iyke4dbi: KakakiAutos gave this as an explanation for the delayed shipping, which like I said was understandable, at least for the first three months. Five months in, it became plausible for me, made worse by his nonchalant attitude. 1 Like |
Re: Kakakiautos - Case Of Fraud by aieromon(m): 7:37pm On Feb 19 |
kowalsky: If you notice the screenshot, the vehicle was initially sold and returned back to the auction pool. The pending title is the likely cause of delay. https://www.nairaland.com/5923454/car-title-pending-copart

Re: Kakakiautos - Case Of Fraud by chukel(m): 8:14pm On Feb 19 |
kowalsky:while not holding brief for kaakai, pending title could be the cause of the delay. However, these things no longer take that much time again. If its pending from seller, it appears within 2-3days of payment. If its DMV, at most 3 months depending on the state. However, there is another way out for cars without title. Container shipping. There are documents to get for around $30 to facilitate shipping it containerised. Moreover, it's cost effective shipping in container from California. My advice is this. Unless he converted all the funds you gave him to dollars, bringing in this car now will cost you way more. Let him relist it on copart, sell and refund you your money be it in naira or dollar equivalent and have your peace. I noticed it's not an FSport. So what was the stress for? 5 Likes |

Re: Kakakiautos - Case Of Fraud by kowalsky: 8:57pm On Feb 19 |
GAZZUZZ: You can't be gentlemaning with a client's 45M. No sense of urgency. Just English. And if this was his attitude before he got my money it would be understandable. You need to see our chats before I made payment. After I made payment the switch up was extraordinary, suddenly my messages take hours to get replies. Sometimes I don't get replies. We will get him anyway. I will clear his doubt. 18 Likes |

Have done over 30 different cardeals with kakaki over the years. If not for the current trend in FX by now we would have already done like 3 this year. These are a few done in 2023.
