DONT TRUST THIS GUY: DEC BETTING COMPANY
Instagram: mohammed_mjamma

Here is the story. I found his Instagram page, from where I got into the Telegram group. As most of the scammers, he is uploading pics from Bet365, with big wins, saying that the games are fixed, 100% no risk, bla bla. It got my attention because he was uploading VIDEOS. Browsing through the website, opening different pages and it really looks legit. Also, he was uploading emails from the "receiver" of the information, whose email was "Dark Web Informant" . Not only that, he is saying his name (IDK how legit, unfortunately I don't remember it, it was something like Aslan Omar), uploading his photos and videos, driving expensive cars, counting money, etc. (basically flexing ), photos of emails and certificates, stating he is a partner of Bet365. He is charging 500 Euros for a fixed bet. And it's so stupid how I got his ass. Below you can find screenshots. Basically he made a spelling mistake for one of the teams' names. On Monday he uploaded a pic from the settled bet, leaving the teams' names, but covering the Odds and the Winning amount. On the next day, when the games were finished, he uploaded a video of the winning bet, receiving his money. The little that he noticed is a small spelling mistake at the end of the name of one of the teams- instead of Sahab, it was written- Sahad. He could've played it out if there wasn't the difference between the uploaded photo on Monday and the uploaded video from Wednesday. I spotted it and confronted him, the moment he realizes he made a mistake, deleted the video from the group and then kicked me out and blocked me. Ofcourse I managed to snap a couple of screenshots, you can see the conversation, the speling mistake, and the group's name, so stay away! So this guy took a step forward, creating a clone website of Bet365, where he is faking everything.

Nice one. Personally I was close to falling for one of them recently, with the videos and all, it was very convincing, I mean that s a whole new level. But then a few things didn't seem right. First of all I spotted a miscalculated won amount, ie the odds multiplied by the amount staked didn't add up, it was way below the amount posted on the betting platform. Secondly the videos of a won paper tickets which also looks very real, was too repetitive, same back ground, same movement of camera but different won tickets..(not very smart move) and they will always cover the bar code area with words so you can't scan the ticket lastly I contacted customer service at Msport to check on the won ticket ID, I claimed it was mine so I needed to confirm my winnings, the rep told me that the ticket ID doesn't exist. And the scammers names ?? BOLIVIA NATIONAL ANALYSIS AND REAL TURKEY ANALYSIS. Search for them on Telegram and have fun

Low pump pressure from the compressor. You need a professional ac tech

Did the technician change the air filter and clean the fan and it's compartment? Sometimes dirt can cause alot of problems for the AC. Speaking from experience

Please can someone confirm these 2 channels on telegram BOLIVIA NATIONAL ANALYSIS and REAL TURKEY ANALYSIS. Both predict double correct scores on telegram

Car Shaking!!! VSC lights on !!!Help

Hi guys, I drive a rx330. I have the check engine light on and VSC.

The car vibrates massively. Been to rewire and mechanic severally, spent too. No hope.

Any leads please

I am not a mechanic but vibration is usually due to suspension issues...start from your tyres, ensure that they are in good condition, pumped to the appropriate psi...do wheel balancing. Check the bearings and shaft, ball joint and bushings. Check the engine seatings as well. Good luck

This is rather weird and I don't know if any other person has experienced this...I have a RX 330 fitted with AFS (adaptive front lighting system). Was working perfectly until I worked on the steering rack. After that I did alignment and noticed that one of head lamps s AFS doesn't work anymore. Of course it serves little or no purpose for me but it LL be cool to see it swing/work again..I guess that the joy of having a luxury car. Please any suggestions or solutions??!

Hello everyone good evening
My ES330 keeps overheating even though there is nothing wrong with the Radiator and the fan are in good conditions, the mechanic said I should remove a thermostat inside the engine, pls anyone has this issue?

Mechanics always say that...if the thermostat is bad try and replace it. it serves an important purpose in the engine. I also prefer using coolants instead of water.

Hello everyone, I recently changed the power steering pump on my Lexus RX 330 but the steering is still a bit stiff and still makes noise when the steering wheel is turned fully. I am suspecting that the pump is faulty as I bought a tokunbo pump as recommended by my mechanic.
Any help on what to do will be highly appreciated. Thanks all.

Put the recommended fluid and guage it properly. What out for shortage of the fluid. If there s no shortage and the noise continues then the pump is bad . Return it asap and get a new one if you can. Most of these wicked 2nd hand dealers will never be honest.

Two Lexus cars I like, Gs and is. The rest I don't really care much about. Any variant of these two will be a great car to own and drive. above average fuel consumption for engine size, drive comfort, tonnes of toys to play with and reliability to name but a few. If you're feeling happy, then the mark levinson premium audio system with 14 speakers will blow your mind away.

Gs 350 SE-L (only available in the states anyway) other locations settle for the 300
Is 250 SE-L (or even the F sports)

Forget suv's if you're not on a dirt road, whats the flipping point?


I'm getting a 2010 is250 SE multimedia pkg. Cant wait (Road tax and insurance on the GS is stupid else I would have had that)

I am on dirt road ...as in tropical mangrove forests

Re-programme the windows. It happens any time you disconnect your battery for a while.

Go to each window and;
- press down and hold until window slides down fully
- continue holding/pressing down for 3 seconds
- immediately press up and hold until window slides up fully. Continue holding up for 3 seconds.

That window is now re-programmed and you should be able to control it from driver side control.

Wow!!! Worked like a charm. Thanks alot

So my car battery ran down today and it won't turn engine. I got another one installed and suddenly my driver's power windows buttons stopped working. After a while the 2 back windows started working again except for the front passenger side. What can be done to fix it please. Thanks.

Please house, I need your help.
My rx330 steering vibrates while applying break once I'm speeding 80km/hr and above.
The mechanic have changed both the break pads and the disks but it still vibrates while pressing my break pedas at speed.
He also checked on the break calipers and confirmed it's in good condition.
I wish I can get solution to this problem in this section.

Mine does same thing...and it's really annoying...

abrahym:
Does 2005/2006 rx 330 keyless start?

If you meant remote start, yes. Mine has a remote starter. Keyless or push to start, nope.

demborise:
i want to buy lexus rx 330 2005 nigeria used what do you think about the car?i hope its economize

It's a solid car which you will enjoy. Just try and get one that was not abused and has good service and maintenance history
For economy I don't really think so... servicing it ..not cheap. I recently changed a stiff rear wiper blade and motor and I spent abt 25k.. passengers side Mirror (just the glass O) cost me 10k. So it's not cheap to keep.

HolyHero:
Hello guys,

I use a Es330, I noticed recently that whenever I’m on the highway driving the engine is very loud... I thought maybe The exhaust pipe was leaking but the mechanic said it’s not... whenever I’m accelerating, there’s always this revving sound... I don’t know what’s wrong.

Is it a new car? If you have been driving it....did you just notice the noise/rev? Unusual engine noise should not be ignored because that's the heart of your car. Check for the basics ..eg ensure there is enough engine oil and since it's an ES 330 check the service and maintenance history, timing belt, water pump etc. Then check wheel hub and bearing, all of them dey contribute to noise. Cheers

I don’t think you can use what we see on the internet
My friend IS350 fuel consumption shows same MPG, same consumption about 12.5MPG on the highway

Truth is i ignore some of these readings that flicker on the dashboard...because there are confusing. What I am more concerned with is how much fuel do i buy on my normal routine driving. Now I regularly buy 6k fuel once a week for my car and i even get left over at the end of the week before top up.
Another thing we have to consider is that some filling stations mix all sorts of chemical in the PMS before selling them. All these adulteration dey affect how fast the PMS dey burn. I have experienced it

willian10:
I recently got a RX350 011, Toks
The miles per gallon I always see on the screen is about 11MPG on average which is very high? When I took it to the mechanic for first service, he said I need to get the *catalyst* catalyst which cost about 250k How much b d car

Sad it's happening on a recently bought car. I would suggest you check it out with another mechanic before fixing anything. I noticed my car's (rx330) mpg dropped as well and I felt maybe it's because I don't always take it for long cruises, because I know cars consume less fuel on highway than city/urban cruises. all the same 11mpg is quite low so check another mechanic. Cheers

Please house, I'm looking to get a Lexus es 03 or camry 06. Which one do you think its best overall in terms of luxury, fuel, handling. Coming from an Honda baby boy. Thanks bosses

Luxury obviously goes to Lexus. The 03 Lexus has a V6 engine as standard and it's not very fuel efficient. Handling is probably same. They are very similar cars over all. But I will go for a clean 03 Lexus. Personal choice

chrisobi1:
Please I want advice... betwen camry 09 se, Lexus RX330 2006 and Lexus es350 2008..which is preferable and better in terms od general assessment ...please advice

"General assessment" sounds a bit plenty. Because they are all good cars actually and will last forever if well maintained. So it really depends on what you want and how much you are willing to spend. The RX 330 is an amazing SUV loaded with a decent amount of luxury, but it's a bit dated, not very sporty with handling. It has more ground clearance and gives a bit of safety when driving in rough terrain. The ES350 08 has a powerful engine, more modern, has plenty of toys. It's a very classy vehicle. The Camry 09 SE looks great and sporty but it's a Camry and will always deliver. In terms of cost of vehicle and maintenance I think an 09 Camry SE will be slightly cheaper than the rest. There are plentiful things to consider but this is just my personal analysis.

chrizdave:
I'm close to Lagos...what about a situation where either the hybrid battery or the inverter has been changed before it comes into Nigeria? I'm talking about a toks.

Generally it's advisable to avoid any hybrid car with high mileage, due to high cost of batteries and generally poor quality of replacement batteries. So if the current actual mileage of the car is over 150k chances are the battery cells re in its last days so better to get a regular engine and have some peace of mind.

Please guys ..is anyone experienced or knows about car paint? I want to paint my car (oven baked) but I need to know the best paint in the market to buy. Is there actually any paint in the market that will look like the manufacturer s paint after using it? Wanna know. Thanks.

Fingalin:
Thanks @ Niyoni..it's actually H. Which leads me to this pictures attached...I noticed that place is greasy. It's not dropping oil yet, just greasy. I guess it's the differential. Please advise on what to do or I should ignore it. The roaring noise is still there when I drive the car. Please see attached pictures.

Hey folks, the roaring noise turned out to be the rear bearing afterall, differential is still working fine. Just bought new seals and installed them to stop the leak. So no leaks anymore and noise is gone, though i hear alot of road noise when I hit say 70 to 80 mph. Mech says its the tires. Or maybe it's just me expecting a dead silent ride. All the same lesson learnt.

KINGreignn:
You can. Hope they have oil pump to pump it in though so as to prevent wastage?
How much is it?

I doubt he has pump, will ask for it. Bought it for N3500

banky3w:
@ Fingalin,did you try this and did it work?

Yea I did. Its still stuck.

KINGreignn:
Your differential seal is bad. Have a competent mechanic remove and fix the seal, and then use a Toyota Hypoid gear oil API GL-5 oil. If it's noise is still persistent, replace the differential.

Please need urgent assistance, I didn't see the Toyota Hypoid gear oil API GL-5 oil but I was advised to take CAM2 Synavex 75w 90. The Toyota Hypoid gear oil API GL-5 oil is 75w 85. Please can I use the CAM 2? See pictures for more information.

KINGreignn:
The rear differential needs no more than 1½ litres to fill the differential till it spills.

Appreciate it boss

Please what does the Toyota Hypoid gear oil API GL-5 look like and the cost. What quantity do I need to buy for the differential because the mech suggested that I change the whole differential instead of fixing it. Thanks

niyoni:
Hi @Fingalin. Kindly follow @KINGreignn advice. Have a COMPETENT auto mechanic diagnose the problem and proffer the right solution. The rear differential is a vital component of the AWD system. Pls do not ignore.

Regards.

Alright thanks much.

Alright thanks. Will do

KINGreignn:
Have a mechanic check it. As for the glove box, snap the glove box handle lemme see something.

Find it attached please..

niyoni:
@Fingalin. Check the 4th character of your VIN(number) by the door of your driver side. If its G, it's front wheel drive. If it's H, it's all wheel drive.

Thanks @ Niyoni..it's actually H. Which leads me to this pictures attached...I noticed that place is greasy. It's not dropping oil yet, just greasy. I guess it's the differential. Please advise on what to do or I should ignore it. The roaring noise is still there when I drive the car. Please see attached pictures.

KINGreignn:
Your rear noise could be the wheel bearing or rear differential. Have it checked first.
The wiper motor could be damaged or disconnected or wiring tampered with,

Truth is I don't know if that car is FWD or AWD, where can I check please? Cos since I bought it the glove compartment has been jammed so I haven't seen the manual.
Anyway I would like to know the estimated cost to fix the rear wheel noise thing. Thanks
