Its a serious something o


I went out today to inspect 2 Hyundai IX35 cars today only to have my time and resources wasted by these scammers.

They'll talk fine on phone. When you get there to inspect 30 mins later, u hear 'car has been sold'.

I should have suspected when i saw the same car been posted on several fora wit very wide discrepancy in price.


Note its not only 1 scammer...the 2nd person i called was also a scammer. Will post details later but be careful to inspect before parting wit any dime

Please sirs, Is there any safe way to verify if a registered car for sale is a stolen one or not. I have even heard of stolen cars bought from cotonou which was only discovered when the buyer was trying do autoreg.

Anyone here to answer this question?
I don't wanna provide non 100% reliable information.
But still on this, our system in Nigeria is unreliable, u might even check with the police today and tomorrow is another story. So, your best bet, is to buy vehicles from reputable dealers that have physical shop/car mart.

Besides this scamming thing, I think it wont be a bad idea to set some ground rules/standards for car sale adverts on Nairaland. Personally, I find it very annoying that someone would create a thread to sell a car, and he wont put up the vehicle's VIN or even the vehichle's price (even if nah asking price,....just put am!).
Really, how do you make a safe and informed decision about a car you intend to buy without the benefit of first researching the history of the car even before you begin to price?
What annoys me most is when you ask here on this forum for the town where the car is located, the so called seller would tell you to call or contact him through whatsapp. If he's real, he will be transparent.

Re: New Scammers On Auto Section by princetom1(m): 7:03pm On Aug 22, 2016
Is not only scammers on this auto section, most are dubious. I cant mention names bcoz i have no concrete evidence yet. A friend of mine need a ride and we spot some on nairaland, we put calls through to a couple of them. We requuested for VIN first since they all claimed is clean, faultless, first body, no accident, buy and drive. It still amaze me till today that all who we called and asked for vin, they all promised to send vin and here we are 2 weeks or less after asking for vin from like 3 dealers, no one has send vin up till now. Y?

You welcome.
My only beef angry with u is, this is the same person banned by u previously. Which banning system are u guys using? Why these sets of people keep creating similar monicker over and over again?
I know someone on this nairaland is more concerned about nairaland traffic than its safety.
By the time no one trust nairaland and we all keep leaving (e.g Siena) , i wonder where the traffic will come from.

Thanks my Oga, keeping this section scam free is all in our hands, that's wen people can come and buy cars bcoz they will know that NL don't tollerate scammers and dubious dealers. We all know other online car listing web pages that we don't bother going there for anything, Why? Isn't it obvious, scammers and criminal full there. So, the genuine dealers should strive to update here to keep NL safe

Again, new scammer spotted

Thanks for being your brother's keeper.

If only there was a way we can keep them from posting permanently, I would have implemented it. But these scammers are very relentless, it takes them little efforts to create new email addresses and open new accounts posting scam posts on various sections. Once the spam bots identify their numbers, they start using new ones. Still, we will not be deterred from kicking them out of the forum the moment we get hold of them. While the moderators clean up the scam posts, you the members can do your bit by alerting others as you're doing now. Together, we can make Nairaland scam free.
