Loading MotorkeCar scams cost Kenyans millions every year. Here's how the most common ones work, how to spot them, and how BIDGARI keeps your money safe.
A 'seller' asks for an M-Pesa deposit to 'hold' the car, then disappears. On BIDGARI, money only moves at handover, through the BIDGARI team.
Scammers use the BIDGARI name and our listing photos to build trust, then push a private WhatsApp number and demand payment. We never ask for money via WhatsApp or personal numbers.
A too-good-to-be-true price that jumps once you 'commit' — the car always has a reason to be more expensive. If the price is far below market, it is a red flag.
Photos and details copied from a real listing, reposted by someone who doesn't own the car. Verify every listing reference ID with the BIDGARI team.
Logbooks, NTSA searches, and transfer documents can be forged. We verify ownership records before any BIDGARI listing goes live.
The seller won't let you view the car in person.
They ask for any payment before you inspect the vehicle and meet them.
The 'deal' is far below market price and they rush you to decide.
They only communicate via WhatsApp or phone and avoid the platform.
They pressure you to pay to a personal number, not a business account.
The logbook name doesn't match the seller's ID.
They refuse to share the listing reference or verification details.
They claim they're with BIDGARI but can't prove it — we never ask for money that way.
Always inspect the vehicle in person and, ideally, bring a trusted mechanic. Never commit to a car you haven't seen.
Check the logbook, ID, and NTSA search so the person selling is the registered owner.
Contact the BIDGARI team from the listing — the official WhatsApp and phone numbers on this page are the only ones we use.
Money changes hands only at handover, with the sale agreement and ownership transfer paperwork signed.
Every listing is verified before it goes live — specs, photos, and ownership records.
Every sale is handled by the BIDGARI team. You never deal with a stranger.
Money moves only at handover, with paperwork signed. We never ask for deposits on WhatsApp.
Scammers impersonate us. If someone claims to be BIDGARI, verify it through one of these — and never send money to a personal number.
Message us on WhatsApp with the listing reference if you're unsure a listing is real.
Report it to us and we'll investigate immediately, remove fraudulent listings, and alert other buyers. Include the listing reference if you have one.
