This is the latest innovation of scammers. They advertise cars on nation classifieds and also online with very cheap prices. Their choice car is Toyota corolla 110 and sometimes Toyota corolla 100. When you call them they ask you where you are, if you say Nairobi, they'l say the car is somewhere in Naivasha or Thika and they ask you to go and have a look. Most times you will ask them if they can bring the car to you, to which after some hesitation they'l agree. Here is where they ask you to add a little fuel to the car of say 1000bob. You'l send them the money and when u try to call them back, they'l give u stories and more stories till u give up.

tell him to add the fuel cost onto the sales price. Furthermore that's a cost that the seller should meet. Sounds like those niaja scams of sijui pay processing fee to receive some millions of $$ left by an old lady!

why would I pay you for extras and you are the one selling your car...thats where alarm bells start ringing

It costs 400bob to post a single line ad on Daily Nation classifieds and these people put at least one ad everyday. So they must be conning quite a high number of Kenyans on a daily basis to be able to put up such ads.

Thought it was fake cars like you are duped into buying a shiny mercedes lakini ukifungua boot, you see a peougot engine, brakes za piki piki kwa driver saddle, and realise its a subaru that was panel beaten near kibera, using mabati and filler, to look like a merc 180c.
