You came here to seek for advice and you decide to withhold information relating to the website.

What more can I say other than goodluck?

Asking for an email address, to post a link that others may well be interested in, gives me cause for concern.

Why not post it here?

o boy!!! I saw the prices quoted for cars on that site. If those cars aren't stolen then that site must be the no. 1 scam site in the world. Did anyone notice the email addresses of the 'supposed' sellers? Reeks of mischief and evil!!!

Fraud in capital letters.
In as much as the Customs auctions goods, they are never advertised. One of the top men usually pays for the whole bulk and goes on to resell @ a price relatively closer to the market price.
I ve actually talked to these guys nd i cant understand how someone will be willing to deliver a car to you wherever you stay without pay, (you pay when you see the car) but insists on you paying 50k delivery fee upfront even after a promise of double the amount (delivery) together with the cost of the car when it is delivered.
nice format they ve got but all na still SCAM

My friend those guys are criminals, just run from them. They mostly claim to be in Kaduna or such areas. I had an experince in June this year. I saw an advert of a Nigerian used 2005 Nissan Pathfinder for N800,000.00 and got interested and curious. When I called the seller, he claimed to be in Kaduna. I told him that I was in South South and he claimed that he has been delivering cars to individuals from that part. He requested for N50,000 to enable him bring down the vehicle, but I refused promising that I will pay on delivery with the cost of the vehicle if I am satisfied. He request for fuel money of N7,000 which I paid through a bank. He confirmed it and promised that the vehicle will arrive the following day. I was in contact with him and his alleged driver. I waited till 7pm without any news and called the so called driver who told me that he was at Lagos that his Oga gave him some items to deliver to his family. When I called the seller he confirmed the story and promised that the vehicle will arrive the next day. The next day when I called the driver in the afternoon, he claimed that he was arrested by the Road Safety at Warri and that they were demanding N50,000 otherwise they will impound the vehicle. When I asked him the offence, he said because he was driving with foreign number. I just asked him why a Nigerian used vehicle should drive with foreign number but got no good reply from him. When I called the Oga, he urged me to pay since the value of the car was far more than that. But I reminded him that legally the vehicle was his until I pay for it. That was when I told him that they were criminals.

Re: Custom Auctioned Vehicle by BizBooks(m): 12:48pm On Dec 11, 2012
Posting the link to the scam site while tempting is not a good idea because:

1. That will be giving them free publicity
2. Some gullible fellow will visit the site after reading this and still fall victim
3. They do not operate on one site alone. They are all over the internet.

The most important thing is to spread the word just as the poster has done.
Re: Custom Auctioned Vehicle by camaro(m): 7:41pm On Dec 15, 2012
@ bizbook thank you for explaining my intentions, I won't blame animals amongs us that ran into conclusion by also calling me one of them. Im just a good fellow okay.
