Again Please Be Careful

Three men visited a car stand. They asked for the pricing of a 2013 Toyota camry and the seller told them the price (say 5 million naira).

They asked him for his account details and after 2 days, they transferred 3 million naira into his account.

Immediately after the transfer, they came to him and told him they are sorry but they couldn't complete the cash; so the car dealer should give them 2 million -five hundred thousand naira and keep the other five hundred thousand naira on it as fees for inconvenience on his part. The car dealer happily did that and was happy he got 500k as fees for doing almost nothing.

Fast forward to 3 days time, he had his car stand invaded by F-SARS and anti kidnapping squads. They asked if he was the owner of the account and Nabbed him immediately He admitted to ownership of the account; then it dawned in him what was really happening.

The guys were kidnappers and they used his account to recieve kidnap ransom making him culpable in the offence. He paid them cash with no trace and they made It look like the 500k was his own share of the loot! Now he is in very deep trouble but it could have been avoided.

That's it people, stay safe and be very careful. Don't go looking for quick cash or commissions without doing your DD. Let wisdom guide you always and don't be greedy!

I'd be grateful if members of the public can rebroadcast this message so people can learn this latest format from the men of the underworld.

Be careful guys....

Thanks. Useful information, just that I don't have a car stand.

Quick tips:
*Always insist on valid identification when selling cars to customers.
*Get a CCTV camera at your car stand.
*Insist that all payments be made via direct transfer from the ID card owner's account who wants to purchase a vehicle.
*If you find yourself in such a discontinued purchase, ask for court affidavit before transferring such funds back..
*Never give or accept cash!

To fall for this kind of crime you must have been greedy...

For every crime there are red flags, we sometimes ignore these signs for reasons best known to us

Wow very helpful
Beware of gifts and money you never worked for.
Base on the economy hardship almost 92% of persons will fall for this

Nice write up

The car dealer is the one with the problem. If you are going to make a refund, the refund has to go to the same account the money came from an the first place

This kind of situation is really unavoidable. Though greed is a factor but God no go shame us sha.

Aside that....The story is somehow...


The men came and left with his account details only ..No phone contact exchange? and when the returned, they requested for a r find without mobile transfer?


That's suspicious na....He was supposed to make a transfer and not a withdrawal refund..... In this cashless era!....I see it as ignorance and foolishness in one person...

As a victim I can relate, all of you shouting greed and what have you, why don't you use your know all knowledge to solve the problem rather than being sarcastic, I bet you if the victim has any suspicion he wouldn't have done so.
