How a Fake Engine Supplier Scammed a Trader of ₦3.8 Million

I work with Emeka, who sells Tokunbo engines and gearboxes. One day he found a new supplier with seemingly great prices. The supplier even sent videos of tagged engines in a warehouse and addressed Emeka by name. Emeka paid ₦3.8 million for three engines after more videos and a promise of delivery within 48 hours. The supplier went silent, blocked calls, and withdrew the funds. By then the money was gone. Now Emeka warns every dealer he meets: never send payment before verifying the seller. Use escrow or meet in person before releasing large sums.
