Customs do sell cars that they seize from borders to Nigerians at a lower price.

Quite interesting.
So I saw a car I liked on jiji: https://tambuwal./cars/toyota-matrix-2004-blue-7510941.html
When I called, the guy told me that with N50,000 for the driver to bring the car after which I will pay the balance.

Like the saying always go: if it too good to be TRUE, then it is NOT true (or it's a scam).

The name of the Jiji car seller was John Vincent, that he was in Tambuwal, Sokoto state. When I checked his phone number on Truecaller.com, it gave me a completely diffnt name.

So yesterday (Sunday) afternoon, we agreed for N20k, which I agreed to pay into his first bank account today (Monday). He asked for my full details and address for delivery via sms (and I gave him a social media version of my name), that he will send me his first bank account details; and he did send the account info: another diff name: Abdullahi Jafaru.

By 8am today (Monday) he began calling me. I declined the calls. Then I went on Google map and found a town near Tambuwal, and I called him back that a friend from the neighbouring town will come to inspect the car before I make d payment.

Then he started ranting that we had an agreement, that infact his driver has washed the car and has gone to fuel it and they were just waiting for my payment for the driver to start off the journey.
I told him that it simple due diligence, that my friend will check the car and then his driver will still bring it to Lagos.
He kept ranting, and that if I wasnt interested that someone else will go for the car. blah blah blah.

I just smiled and ended the call.

Come to think of it, N20k cant fuel a car from Sokoto to Lagos in this era of fuel issues.

Anyway, I have his bank details and any security person interested to pursue this further can leave me a message here. First bank should be able to provide his full KYC form to trace him; or the security person can set up a sting operation to capture him (John or Jafaru) and his team.

Really sad that pple go all this length to defraud others of their hard-earned pay.

And thanks to pple in Nairaland who shared their experiences.

Have a blessed week.

Hello, can someone verify the Facebook ID of Adegoke Adenike, she sent me a facebook request and the day I eventually accepted she automatically posted customs car auction which I was not interested. After a while, I wanted to send her a message as I saw her facebook friends were Pastors and facebook immediately alerted me that the Facebook ID has been deleted for security reasons. I tried searching for the name and noticed she has several other facebook IDs with same friends and photos still selling auction cars. Who do I trust now this custom auctioneer or the Pastors friends?
Thank God I don't even buy things from the back door and people should start thinking of how to use their creativity better than in fraudulent ways please.
