[size=14pt] Pardon me my brother, I'm still in shock that someone could come so close to scam me. Christopher, I can spend #1m to look for #100 Naira if I have your time. I will fish you out from wherever you are, thank your star we don't have a working system in Nigeria but aside that, whenever the Police wish to really do their job, they will do it excellently [/size]

The buyer don't know the middle men (scammer)? [size=14pt] Yes. They don't know each other neither did I know the scammer too. A lot of middle man contact dealers for deals and vehicle will be taken to buyer who negotiates with the middle man and the transaction ends there. Sometimes, the middle-man work remotely and at times might be present. This is a norm especially in Lagos. [/size]


Did the buyer deposit any money to him? [size=14pt] YES he did but was suspicious of the deal so he instructed the Cashier not to transfer the funds yet until he instruct her to do so. It's very Technical. Had it been the buyer wasn't suspicious of the deal, the money is long gone. [/size]

sorry but these questions are bugging me.

Na wa o.
From your end, since its middle man business, I guess you're not supposed to discuss price or get too close to the buyer since the middle man will rightly have added his own money.
Meanwhile, the buyer in his own mind won't likely discuss price with you because he feels he has been speaking with the owner of the car and hes just there to inspect the car and pay to the account he's been given (Scammer's a/c)
Buyer and Seller are given two different stories by the scammer.
Ha!
These people just sit down and devise evil strategies, instead of them to use their head for better things. That was a close one. He will get caught soon if he continues. This is mega scamming!
He would have been N1.7m richer, just like that and then the buyer would have been seriously confused and dragging you for car that he didn't pay for.
Thank God o!

The first post was confusing at first, but he then clarified it with the second post.

People looking for unrealistic deals will almost always be scammed. One way not to be scammed is to be realistic

deeonlyme:
Different tricks every day... that means we all have to confirm account numbers with buyers in case there's a middle man involved

[size=14pt] Yes ooo. When a 3rd Party is involved. As a matter of fact moving Cars around to show Customers is now Prohibited like I read on Property Section weeks ago where builders who travelled to far East were been kidnapped and made to withdraw money from their ATM [/size]
