[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. 2007 Toyota Camry for N300,000 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. Cheers Inspired [/b] 45 Likes 1 Share |

They also go as far as stealing other genuine auto dealers car pictures posted online and re-advertise them at a ridiculous prices in other to defraud unsuspecting buyers of there hard earn money... Couple of weeks ago, one Mr Chidi called me when he saw one of my 2010 Land Rover LR4 advert I made, he asked where the car was and I told him in my office in Ikeja.. I can feel he was very nervous, and I ask him what is the problem he told me a guy sent him the same pictures of my LR4 that it is been auctioned by Nigerian Customs at a very ridiculous price of 3,000,000 naira.. The scammer told Mr Chidi to pay some certain amount of money to a bank account, while Mr chidi didn't know he has fallen into the hands of scam artist. He paid a total sum on 1.8m naira, instal mentally to the scammer. I felt bad, but there is a little I could do to help him get the scammer though he has reported the issue to the Nigerian Police and EFCC, I believe underground investigations is on.. Please and please, be very cautious about the car you want to buy.. Alot of people like awourf cars which can lead you into fallen for scam artist.. Not all that Glitters is Gold, open your inner eyes! A word is enough for the wise! 11 Likes 1 Share |

Noted. But who are the people that buys those cars impounded by Customs?. They are just selected few people and often times their family members posing as potential buyers. They will end up selling the cars to them at a give away price. Corruption in high places  3 Likes |

I was almost a Victim to these guyz.. The dude advertised a Honda Evil Spirit (2010) for N800k, we had 1.2M budgeted for EOD already, i tot it was Ans prayers.. I called d cwasy fellow, and he asked me to come to their Auction park at Abeokuta, Mind U, I work at VI.. I left the office to go down to Abeokuta during office hours to go pay for the ride. I held 100k along, in other to make deposit as initially requested by him to secure the car. As soon as I got to Abeokuta, I called the Eediot, he picked up and told me dat he's sorry that he said Sango, not Abk.. I went back to Sango n called him. He picked n said dat he was sorry that he was sent to Sagamu.. It was den dat I began to suspect him. I called one of my friends at MTN office to help me trace his line immediately and send me his full details. I was informed dat he registered his name as just Josef n he wrote Airport road as his address.. I was VEXED!!! But I fank God dat he saved me from his hands.. 7 Likes |

This is a good move. They have already destroyed several Nigerian websites. If care is not taken, they will destroy this one too. |

This topic is highly needed on the top page in this section. I've had to scream scam on most of these fraudulent posts being posted here but unfortunately,it hasn't discouraged these fraudsters as they keep coming back with more vigour. Secondly,I've noticed that the average car buyer has a certain level of greed and this is why they keep falling for these scam. Personally,I don't pity these folkss again. So long as people can't curtail their greed,they'd keep losing their money to fraudsters. Keep up the good work and let this thread stay up in this section so people can easily identify it before they move to other topics. 1 Like |

| Some of the comments I read here are pretty annoying? How do you pay money into an account of a person you don't know and you've not met? If you're too busy to inspect a car;can't you send someone you trust to do it? 2 Likes 1 Share |
