Help!! Have I Been Scammed by dexla(f): 12:18am On Jun 18, 2022 |
Please help!!! A friend recommended someone to help with tokunbo car in April, I won the bid on iaai site on 19th April. According to the agent, the car is yet to be cleared by customs since April and has no idea when it would be cleared for shipping. He also claimed that he's using sallahu shipping line which has a major backlog. Grimaldi was the 1st option but mentioned the car had fuel pump issues and may be rejected by grimaldi so he is using sallahu. I just want to ask if this make any sense to tokunbo importers. I'm just soo confused with these stories. The fact that it's not even scheduled for shipping is worrisome and he also can't give a time range of when to expect the car. Help ooo biko, make I know how to sort myself instead of waiting endlessly |

Where is this friend shipping from, I mean what State? Sallaum line stopped shipping from Boston due to government clamp on their operations. Use the link below to track Sallaum Shipping schedule from US to West Africa. https://sallaumlines.com/schedules/us-to-west-africa/ 1 Like |

dexla: I don't know how shipping of cars work in Texas work, but some cars I've sold were shipped from Canada (and they do take months sometimes before clearing & shipping). I know April to june seems like a long time...but keep calm, get enough info on the agent as you can (since your friend recommended him, he should know one or two about the agent). Some excuses are genuine, but the agent should be able to give you a time frame @least in order to ease your tension. 4 Likes |

dexla:Smile. I don't think you've been scammed yet, shipping through Freeport Texas is a nightmare, it takes a very long time to clear customs, secondly it takes a long time for it to load most especially if it's a non runner vehicle, I've had cars sit down for months at the port before loading in Texas, Next time avoid Texas port for Sallaum because their loading order is terrible. Send me the vin of this vehicle 1 Like 1 Share |

dexla: Lady, there is one way you can never get scammed in this life — never believe what you hear or 'see' especially online or offline. Go through the normal and regular process to acquire something of great value where you will actively inspect, test, and receive legal documents of ownership. All scammers always seek a different way to make transactions with people that does not include you possessing the object of transaction. It is "them first" but trusted sellers will initiate an Escrow service to prove they are genuine. From all indications, you have been scammed. Involve the police or approach the bank of the scammer so they can freeze it. 2 Likes |

okay...since someone who has more experience in the biz thinks it is not a scam with valid reasons I hope it turns out to be true. |

Re: Help!! Have I Been Scammed by Onyx2T(m): 10:02pm On Jun 18, 2022 |
dexla:Okay. I tracked the vin and it's a 2008 Toyota RAV4 limited, The vehicle has been delivered to the port and has cleared customs. It's on load order and will be shipped to Lagos soon. You just have to hold on a little while, next time buy your cars close to Maryland, new Jersey, New York , etc. Texas shipping for Sallaum requires patience because most sallaum ships load from Texas first before going to other ports, so before it loads from Texas again it takes time. I will update if I have any information on the vehicle shipment 9 Likes

dexla:you shouldn't be worried. Just get the VIN of the car and track it on sallaum website. If it has been received, you have no issues. 3 Likes |
