[/color] Attention ALL prospective vehicle, truck & plant buyers from Nigeria!!! I have just stumbled on what seems to be a NEW scam, this time it is appearing in UK trade magazines. I was reading this week's truck trader and came across an advert in the plant section, the prices advertised seemed a bargain, (Remember the old saying, if something seems too good to be true, it most likely is), anyway, i phoned the numbers advertised, waited for answer, got message to hold while i wqs re-directed, then eventualy got answer machine asking for details and numbers + message , ended with undertaking to return call. As i do a lot of business in Nigeria and therefore call there very often, i am 99% certain that the lady delivering the message is the same on as i hear regularly when i call MTM Nigeria numbers. I used a pre pay mobile phone, imagine my shock & horror when a few minutes later i tried to make another call, only to be told my credit was finished  ?It turns out that adverts placed via interned are for vehicles & machines that DO NOT EXIST and the number you are calling or the one you are redirected to are overseas / premimum rate numbers, so while you are giving your details and leaving a message, maybe even asking questions in good faith, you are clocking up a huge phone bill at what ever rate the scammer has set for his bogus number. The only numbers i am currently aware of are numbers begining with 0844 & 0702, they are layed out and disguised to look like normal UK mobile numbers. ALL I CAN SAY TO ALL THE HONEST BUYERS IN NIGERIA IS BEWARE!!![/color][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/size][/b] |
