This is why some people would never trust e-business deals.There are lots of genuine sellers and buyers.just take time and pain to find them.dats all.

I called a guy I met on olx the moment he started talking abt being a custom officer,that was d same moment he confirmed my worst fears.I followed the call thru but never contacted him afterwards.

You have said it all, it's greed and total ignorance that makes them fall prey to scammers.

Good job!

Information is power!

tanx inspired. I almost got scammed too. I received an email of list of car prices in march. the guy said they were auction vehicles seized by custom that he is an agent and its genuine. we met at his office some where at igando. he had about 4cars parked as evidence.
RAV 4 at 350k
XTERRA at 450k
MATRIX at 350k
CROSSTOUR at 600k

I opted for the rav4 then he said people av deposited for the four displayed that I should choose another one on the list.to my surprise I saw BMW X5 at 600k. as a lover of bmw immediately I called my wife to send funds she was so happy. the guy said I should deposit 100k so he can start the processing and I can come back to balance 500k. told him I cant deposit that I will rather buy the rav4 if the x5 is not available. he persuaded me then I told him to wait let me get to the bank. as I drove off a young lady stopd me that she has been watchn me from afar; she said the guy is a scammer with the backin of omo oniles & area boys. I thanked her & started laughin at myself

OMG! You met him in person? Definitely they have gone PLC! Have you made any report to the police about this, he should have a better explanation when the authority lay hands on him.

This is serious.
Why hasnt anyone reported him to the police? angry
Glad you escaped.
I almost fell victim myself, but he (the scammer) killed it when he asked me to come to kebbi to inspect the car because i was in lagos. I immediately know something was fishy when he couldnt give me the address of the Lagos Customs office.
Lesson: don't be cheap

Thank you. These days, car prices seem to be dropping. is it a normal phenomenon or a way to get to sell car fasts. I'm looking for a low key car.
