inspired_m: [b]Day In Day Out, Fraudsters are seeking for New Ways to Fleece Nigerians of their Hard Earned Money, The Latest Scheme is about Purported sales of Nigerian Customs Seized Vehicles Online Auction.

Within the past 30 days, I have Banned Over 200 usernames and Over 1000 Fraudulent Posts and Threads of Sales of Customs Seized vehicles on the Autos Section Which were without any Doubt Fraudulent.

The Modus Operandi of these Nefarious Elements are to Post Purported Customs Seized Vehicles at RIDICULOUSLY LOW Prices and Demand for Deposits to "Secure the Car " or "Secure the File" at Customs Offices.

Most Times, they go as far as Posting Photos of Customs Officials on their Profile Pages thereby Impersonating genuine Customs Officers.

They have Flooded the Nigerian Online Space now and are On Every Major Car Websites with Free Listings.

A Couple of Months Ago, The PUNCH Newspapers Nabbed a Syndicate of These Type of Fraud from an Innocent Buyer Who wanted to Buy a 2010 Toyota Camry for N400,000.

You can read it here http://www.punchng.com/feature/saturday-people/customs-officer-duped-me-says-man-who-wanted-to-give-mum-a-car-gift/

We Encourage Buyers to Beware of Auto Adverts with Ridiculously Low Prices, It takes a certain level of Greed to Fall Victim of Fraud in Most cases.



NIGERIAN CUSTOMS DO NOT Auction Cars Online, NOT Anywhere in the Country, All Customs Auction Bids Are Done Physically from ABUJA.

Furthermore, We Encourage Buyers to Know Who they are dealing With, Not all that Glitters is Gold and Not Everything You see Online is Genuine.

We Implore Members to report Suspicious Adverts to the Moderators Via the " Report to Moderator Button" Located on every Post.

I was going through the internet surfing for cars then i came across google trader and this seller :

http://www.google.com.ng/local/trader/#!productoffers:pid=e10e4b8283d4d43d

But i saw that it is too good to be true so i decided to go through NL for advice as NL has really helped me alot in so so many things ( kudos to all Nairalanders ). So i called the guy and he told me that these are cars seized by customs and that i will come and see them myself,drive the cars within their yard before any payment. I was surprise to see a toyota venza for N700,000. Please i don't know if this is real or scam because i have always believe that anything that is too easy... Na set up ooo hahahha

Please can you guys check out the link for me if this is real.

Thanks

saintjoel:

When did you come back from mars?

You've read all comments posted in this thread and you're still asking if a link advertising a venza for 700K is real,there must be something wrong with you.

chronique: Lol. Some people can't use their brains. Even if you lend them other people's own,it still won't work. With everything that has been said here,someone is still asking for foolish advice. If this dude asking this stupid question is not a thief,he will not be asking if a venza of 700k is genuine. If cars are that cheap,nobody wil buy tiny light camry. Most people on nairaland don't want to live within their means. They'd hold 800k in their hands and start pricing cars of 1.5m. Pls don't give him any advice. Let him go and buy his 700k venza. Greed is why people fall into the hands of fraudsters.

@seegobe:
pls i just talk to somebody who claim is a custom officer, he said i should send 60k to thier secretary accout for the process...pls is it true?

Hello my name is Luchiia and I represent the customer support department of Auction Export.
The topic is quiet interesting

I want to welcome all of you to check mine: https://www.nairaland.com/1539614/christmas-promotion-open-find-answers#19963988

kingschild123: Well my suggestion goes thus; anyone who wants to purchase a vehicle should physically inspect the vehicle and request for a valid company address of the sellers office, if seller refuses to tell you and instead always hammering on making payments first then that's a RED light warning! Please let's be cautious.

That is a scam Infested Website, 99% of vehicles listed there are FAKE Custom Seized Vehicles.
