All the car dealers I've met on Naijauto.com and Olx.com are fraudsters. One uses an app to change his voice to a female voice. I almost got scammed.


The best is to walk down to a car stand and buy a car which I just did.


Naija isn't a safe place to do e-business.

Really

That's because you're a greedy clown trying to get more for less like my neighbour who went with his wife in public transport to buy brand new freezer for 20k from a 'Customs officer' in Badagry.

For automobiles alone, I've bought 2 SUVs and 1 car on Jiji. I've transacted businesses worth millions of Naira on Jiji.

However, I have a simple rule: don't be greedy and all transactions must be face to face.

are you sure of olx

I've sold things on olx before and all the transactions were made on face to face basis and in these kind of transactions there's nothing like scam because you see what you want to buy and if possible test before buying

People mostly view cars online before they buy them.

I said Naijauto not jiji.

Please can you explain how am I greedy?


I wanted to buy cars for transport business and I had Honda or Toyota in mind. I came to this forum and was advised against Honda. I opted for Toyota.

I was also advised to get toks.

The cars I wanted to buy were Nigerian used. After being advised against Nigerian used on this forum, i came back to this forum to ask the price of toks which two guys here gave me a budget price.


I went to naijauto and olx and saw the Toyota sienna cars toks at the same price I was told on this forum.

I contacted the seller and later discovered it's a fraudster this goes on and on.


Please explain how am I GREEDY?

GREEDY for trying to do business online or what? Because those cars I saw were never cheap cars. Some were even more expensive than the price I was told on this forum.

A seller on olx used a female name and picture on his profile. Uses an app to change his voice to female. I later discovered it..

Guess you were lucky.

believe this nonsense by an ethnic jingoistic and tribalistic fo.ol at your own peril

Chimaokigwe I was told here to budget 2.5 for 06 Sienna. I saw that 06 Sienna on Naijauto @ 3m. We bargain price till we landed at 2.8. I proceded to make a deal only to discovered dat it's a scam. I got dat same 06 at 2.2 at a car stand. Is this what u call greed?

Should I send u the dealers contacts? To confirm?

Was it also greed that makes a seller to use a female profile and an app to change his voice to a female's voice?

Dear Sir,

Once again, we do apologize and seek for your understanding.

Thank you, Sir!

How do u know that's a scam?

I used to get one very cheap there, no trouble, face-to-face transaction. & what abt Jiji? Anyone experience the same on Jiji?

Bro, scam is becoming legal in this country...
The system we re running encourage corruption. I was scamed by one notorious car company last year ..their agents are all here on Nairaland
They claim to buy your cars in 45 mins. Most of the cars they sell re faulty cars. The thread is on Nairaland.

If you want to buy any car, go for inspection with a qualified automobile engineer or technical....they re here on nairaland and be careful of naija used. I have bought 2 direct belgium since n i only change oil. Buy cars that ll hardly give you headache abeg

That must be "Custom Blessing" . . .uses a picture of a female Customs Officer on the profile and displays cars at ridiculously low prices....e,g Toks RX350 for M1.2m . . .I even reported the user today ...waiting to see if it will be deleted !
