The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has issued a public warning against a widespread, fake online auction advertisement for 22 high-end vehicles. The fraudulent notice, which circulated on social media, used KRA branding but offered cars at significantly reduced prices and requested personal contact and a Ksh20,000 registration fee, which are not standard KRA procedures.

• KRA urged the public to disregard the fake auction notice, emphasizing that all official communications are shared only through verified channels.
• The fake advertisement featured luxury models like Range Rover Evoque, Audi Q6 Premium, Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, and Mercedes Benz GLE.
• KRA clarified that its auctions are announced via official gazette notices, involve physical inspection of goods, and never solicit payments through private contacts or personal phone numbers.
