Finally, he was ready to buy his dream car a 2016 Honda CR-V, listed for KSh 1.25 million in Nakuru. The photos were sharp, the seller was polite, and the paperwork looked spotless. The seller insisted the car had never been in an accident, and all the documents logbook, NTSA search, insurance were ready for transfer. He even offered to drive the car to Brians town for inspection. Everything seemed perfect. Until Brian asked: Can someone verify the car for me before I send the deposit? A physical inspection was arranged. What followed shocked him: The chassis number under the seat had been etched off and replaced. The engine number on the car didnt match the one in the logbook. The original car had been flagged as stolen from a yard in Nairobi 4 months earlier. The scam was slick the paperwork was clean because it had been lifted from a genuine car with almost identical specs. If Brian hadnt reached out for a pre-purchase check, he wouldve lost every coin. No refund. No car. And probably, a visit from CID months later. Moral of the story? Dont just trust clean documents or polite sellers. Scammers are getting smarter but so can you. Before you pay: Inspect the chassis & engine numbers physically Verify the logbook details across NTSA Consult someone who knows where to look One check could save you over a million shillings and a future full of headaches. Brian was lucky. Be like Brian. Verify before you buy. #PrePurchaseCheck #CarCloningKenya #VehicleVerification #ChassisNumberCheck #AvoidScamsKE #SmartCarBuyingpendSotros2o48c6e454Mln2g0u0ae8il0ri171L1hi6rg693mm8a1tmatcJowie JosependSotrost148c1y4:40l12g0u0aM8ili17M1hi6ag693mm841amP2c Shared with PublicNilikuwa na pesa kwa mpesa, ready to pay.
