The Chief Executive Officer of LIMS Market Place, Mr Charles Mensah, popularly known as Joe, has issued a public warning to vehicle buyers in Ghana and abroad over fraudulent activities involving individuals impersonating the company and its management.
In a public disclaimer, the management of LIMS Market Place disclosed that some unscrupulous individuals were unlawfully using the company’s name, images, videos and business identity to deceive prospective buyers through fake vehicle sales and auctions.
According to the company, the fraudsters are exploiting the reputation and online presence of LIMS Market Place to solicit payments from unsuspecting members of the public.
LIMS Market Place operates an official YouTube channel, @limsmarketp, which has approximately 192,000 subscribers and is used to showcase vehicles, conduct auctions and offer vehicles for sale.
The company, however, stressed that neither its management nor its CEO has any connection with the fraudulent activities and urged the public to exercise caution before engaging in any vehicle transaction purportedly conducted on its behalf.
It specifically advised prospective buyers not to make payments or enter into vehicle purchase agreements with individuals claiming to represent LIMS Market Place without first verifying their identities through the company's official communication channels.
The management has provided the following official contact numbers for calls and WhatsApp enquiries:
+1 240 797 4627
+1 240 421 6567
The company has also warned individuals and groups unlawfully using its identity to desist immediately, indicating that it reserves the right to pursue legal action and report the activities to law enforcement authorities in Ghana, the United States and other relevant jurisdictions.
LIMS Market Place further encouraged anyone who encounters suspicious activities or has fallen victim to such schemes to report the matter to the appropriate authorities.
The company concluded its disclaimer with a cautionary message to the public: “Beware of impostors. Verify before you pay.”
