step by step of what happened

1 saw an advert on dealfish Nigeria for a car sale honda accord 2003 at a price of $11500 by ck motors trading company Cyprus.

2 indicated interest on the vehicle and ask for a discount of $2000

3 i was offered the the vehicle to purchase at $9500

4 i received an proforma invoice of the purchase and asked to pay into an account with details;
BANK NAME: HELLENIC BANK PUBLIC COMPANY LTD
ACC IBAN : CY23 0050 0140 0001 4007 5700 4501
BANK SWIFT: HEBACY2N
BANK ADDRESS: 173 ATHALASSAS AVENUE STROVOLOS 2025 NICOSIA CYPRUS
upon receipt of payment the company will ship the car to Nigeria and send me a bill of laden.

5 i made a wired transfer of $9500 from my bank Stanbic IBTC Bank into the above account and sent the proof of transfer to the company

6 company told me car has been sent to shippers for inspection and they are waiting for their bankers to alert them of funds in their account

7 after waiting for about 5 days the company told me that they have problem with the bank and cannot receive money from overseas as they have exceeded their limit for the year so instead company ask me to order my banker to recall the money and gave me another account in US to pay the money into
BANK OF AMERICA
10 Middle Neck Rd Great Neck NY11021 USA
SWIFT CODE: BOFAUS3N
ROUTING NO: 026009593
A/C NAME: DELUXE SHIPPING INC
A/C NO: 483002468270
company told me that if i make payment today the they will ship car to me the next day

8 i ordered my bankers to make the recall of funds and decided to contact Hellenic Bank in Cyprus with the details of my correspondence with their customer

9 Hellenic Bank send me an email that they are investigating my case and if i have a feeling that there fraud involved i should report to my local authority

10 after several mails to know if the recall has been effected by my bankers ck company told me that;
"I spoke to my bankers and since i have applied to the government to increase the amount of foreign deposits i can receive ,i may be able to resolve this matter without returning the funds back to you
It will take a while to get the funds but Since we have a valid contract on ground ,i will ship the car on friday and send you a copy of the way bill
Tell your bank to stop the recall"

11 then again a mail from ck;
" I just left the port and there is a small issue with the 2008 Honda Accord when it was checked this this evening
I have same color but a 2010 that just arrived yesterday and since you have been very patient i can do it for you for a very good deal ,you will not get it any where
This is top of the range and more loaded with featires
More features than the 2008 and the mileage is less than 2,200 ,it is practically brand new
Find attached the pictures ,if you like it update me asap so that i ship this one for you
Very good deal."

12 after i have shown interest in the new transaction then ck said
"After much discussion and consideration ,we will sell you this car for just USD13,100
You cannot get this deal any where
I can ship tomorrow for you ,in every disappointment there is a blessing
I can do this deal for you
Pay the balance and get this car ,it is far better than the 2008 and the difference is not much
let me know if you are interested so that we seal this deal and i ship this car"

13 i showed interest in the new transaction and ck said
"After much discussion and consideration ,we will sell you this car for just USD13,100
You cannot get this deal any where
I can ship tomorrow for you ,in every disappointment there is a blessing
I can do this deal for you
Pay the balance and get this car ,it is far better than the 2008 and the difference is not much
let me know if you are interested so that we seal this deal and i ship this car"

14 i ask for discount and then ck wrote;
"I spoke with my partners and yes we can work with you on that price ,we want to reward you for your patience
There is a buyer here in Cyprus from Nigeria and we will be shipping his cars today
He told me he is a dealer ,he bought 3 salon cars and two jeeps
He was very interested in the 2010 Honda Accord but i told him it has been sold
he will be here until Monday because of the inspections to be carried on the cars he bought and also the shipping and he will leave on Tuesday once the ship sails
I want this 2010 Honda accord shipped by tomorrow or saturday latest but if you make a transfer it will take more days
The buyer from Nigeria has agreed to give me the $3000 USD here if you pay the equivalent in your currency into his account
If you can pay it in today ,we can ship tomorrow ,it will be better for me because i will not pay any charges or tax since i am selling the car at a give away price."
find below the details of the account
Account Number: 1023268894
Name : Omeili Michael
Bank :Intercontinental bank
He will be arriving Nigeria on Tuesday so i can send the bill of lading through him which will be faster or send it by courier as already agreed
Once again i want to apologize for the inconvenience
make payment and confirm so that he pays me here and i complete the paper work for the shipping


15 to crown the story short i refuse to pay into the account i was told and i insisted to pay into their account in Hellenic which they refused i also offered to pay if the person coming to Nigeria can bring the bill laden to me that is still not been responded to.

  • This guy almost got me too. Same story - dealfish, discount, promise to ship, invoice with Hellenic bank account...I even spoke to him once. The prices were too good to be true, so I did a check of the VIN and in one insance found that the same car was in the U.S! I actually verified that with the dealer in the U.S. The pictures he sent you were probably from the Internet.
    Before sending money out of the country you need to be very sure. Eg I found out that fraud isn't a crime in Greece, no efcc like in Nigeria.

  • Also Greece is left hand drive like Britain or south Africa, so what is he doing with so many right hand drive cars in his stock?
    You've probably been 419d. Hope you recover your money, and good thing you didn't send the extra 3k
