That does not negate the OP of being meticulous. It could be a distress sale.

There is no distress sale in Berger market cheesy

The worrisome part is that their partners in crime will be putting the blame on the victim for wanting to buy a costly item for a cheaper price as if the buyer and seller didn't bargain on the price before a final agreement was reached.

Anyways that's how she blocked me on WhatsApp and the ife guy was saying that he knows nothing about it. That the lady called him out of the blues and told him a mechanic was coming to check a car for her. Bla bla bla bla..

I immediately refunded my client his money first as seen below

Thank God for you. SO what was your client's reaction after the refund? Did you tell him what happened?

So the man said well. If you are chatting with this lady and you are the buyer. Call her on video call let's see her to confirm all. I then called her on video call, she declined and called me direct. The owner took the phone from me. And said I thought you said he is your mechanic. You are you asking him to send you 3.7m for a car worth 5.5m.

If you truly want to buy this car send us the balance now he will pay us the 3.7m here then he can go with the car. Then at this point the she ended the call and deleted her account details from the chat as seen in the image below. But I have already forwarded it out.

Mad ooo! grin grin

To the guy that brought the car to me for inspection . He showed the police his own advert where he posted the car for 1.5 or 1.6M naira On Jiji . He said the Chidinma also contacted him through Jiji that she got a client for his car and apparently , she used both of us . He showed the police their chat history and all and the police believed him .

You want to buy 2012 XLE Camry for 3.8m. Buyers need to be reasonable and realistic with their offer. A 2012 Camry LE is 4.3m, SE is 4.7m while XLE is 5.5m. These are average market prices.
Thank your star you didn't fall for it. Its an old scam. I shared exact experience on this Platform 5yrs ago. Awuf dey run belle

it's still the same, he will spend a lot and the banks won't cooporate either.

if you are not very rich or highly placed on this country, forget it, you are just existing and under God's mercy.

So it happened on the 22nd of January 2021.

I wanted to buy a Toyota camry 2013 for a client who already sent me some money to buy it at budget of 3.9m or 4m+ if seen. So I was in search of this car here and there. I checked all car platforms then I saw a red Camry 2012. I call the number (I had no true caller on my phone as at this time. We spoke briefly, said she will get back.

A woman later reached out to me saying we just spoke concerning the camry, that one has been sold. But I have another one at Berger. How much do you want you spend I said 3.8m even if its 011 or 012 its ok.

She said fine. Start heading for mile two. When you get there call ife 07039281760 he is my boy and he waiting for you at the office. I called. He told me to drop at UBA in Berger that he will pick me up. When I got to UBA i dropped called and he came. Then i followed him to see the car his madam said i should come and buy.

I saw the Camry it was super neat. I sent it to my client. He loved it. He just called said I should go ahead and buy it for him. I said okay.

Actually the car cost due to its grade is around 5.5million. But the person the phone who led me here the supposed madam of ife assured me not to worry that the car belongs to her and her husband and she has spoken with her husband that I can make payment to her and she will sort it out.

Meanwhile she already told the people there whom are the owners of the cars that I am just a mechanic that I came to help her confirm car and that she is the one pay. That they should let me test drive the car.

If you have bought and if you are interested in nissan almira stallion motors is selling brand new almira 2016 in same price range visit there showroom at gbagada and find out.

Fear women... Am a dealer at berger area. This format is an old format that just resurfaced a d many people have fallen victim, thereby giving berger car depot a bad name. My one cent advice, never be too in a haste when buying anf inspecting a car. Always insist on seeing the real owner of the car before payment and also do all your proper confirmation before paying.

Smh.....
Quit dabbling into things you have little knowledge about because of the small thing you will see inside. You may get into trouble. She already knew you are a JJC.
A 2011 camry is totally different from a 2012 camry so why will you say 3.8m if its 2011 or 2012. Their body shape and price is different.

Brother, he knows nothing about it. The woman has contacted him thinking he is the owner of the car saying she is sending her mechanic for inspection. Both ife and the real victims are both victims in this ploy. So ife has nothing in it.

Then go to the north and buy the car then, if u will not regret buying a stolen or a car the customs will impound from u, look once u are ready to pay the right value for something u get the right result, it's because u are looking for something cheap that why u almost got scammed, if u are ready to pay 5.5m the car is all over the place and u don't need to start scouting around and going all the way to berger to buy the car
So, are you saying, if he had paid 5.5m, he wouldn't have been scammed. I don't look for cheap things, I don't even like bargaining, and I have been scammed, though not a big money. And, what I was saying about 3.7m is, 3.7m isn't too much for a fairly used painted camry 2012. And not all cars in the north are stolen.
