How My Help Turned Into Sorrow With A Barber I Tried Helping After 15 Years by Nobody: 12:09pm On Jan 16, 2017
i just want us to be very careful on who we let into our homes no matter the years of relationship or trust we have or grown to have for the person.

My barber (Adewale Erinle Musa - phone number-08136904493 - Diamond bank acct 0059230970- ) he was a barber at Nipco Filing station Ajah badore road before okera-kekere.
i have known him for 15years and introduced him to lots of clients whom he goes to their homes to give hair-cuts to their children and loved ones.

i was a dedicated customer to my barber, even when he left his shop, i call him and drive to him wherever he is, we have had hair cuts in difficult places..

situations we have had hair cuts:

-On the road side close to the express holding the glass while he cuts.
-In container cabins without fans and A/C.
-He has carried me along while he begs barbers to please use their shops.


i have had so many reasons to let him go, while i try somewhere else,but because he cuts very well and the years of relatonship, whenever i am around i call him. also being a very humble person who does not discriminate in anyway.

i assist him the very best way i can when he calls for help.
cases:
- child birth / kids fees etc
- marriage
- fathers death
- travels
virtually all new-years and christmas including 2016/2017.

on the 1st of Jan 2017 he had discussed with me on the economic situation and how difficult things were to him and his 2 year old son, i though about it and the number of years we have known, discussed with my wife whom he knows very well, she agreed and i told wale to get a place, i would rent and furnish, he would only pay a certain amount that would not affect his living and pocket from the proceeds of the shop, on completion of the payment (which is the cost of rent) he ownes the shop.

wale was so happy, thanked me, postrated and kept showering blessings. my phone never rested after that promise.
on the 6th of January i asked wale to make enquiries about his previous shop (at Nipco filling station badore road) since people already knew him and he has his customer base there already.

wale came to me with a bill of 300k for 2 years, i told him i would talk to some friends whom he knew through me, they initially agreed but declined later. wale came begging again, i told him i would do it alone but it would be difficult for me, he said he would try to pay back as soon as he can. i told wale to give me the agents contact, cautioned him to check properly as real estate frauds are everywhere, little did i know i was with the devil himself.

[b]wale sent me an account number (AYOOLA FUNSHO - GTB BANK 0113806163 - phone number- 07037090662) [/b]claimed that was the person in charge, didnt bother checking as i thought it mattered to him most and i was only helping. he provided a carpenter aho gave an estimate of 90k for all wood work, i transferred a deposit of 60k to him instantly. i asked wale for the receipt of rent, he said the agent would give it to him the next day. i made the transfer of N300,000 to the agents information given.

the next day 7th Jan 2016, i went to the staion to meet wale for receipt, i was told i didnt make any payment to them, i laughed as i knew i had been scammed by someone i had known for 15years whom i was trying to assist.. i crossed the road to the carpenter, he said wale came to him the previous night to collect the money as he had seen somewhere cheaper to get the work done, i tried reaching wale pretending i have not found out, wale even requested for some money to please buy some kits which i had initially planned via transfer, i declined and asked he meet me in person. that was the last i heard from him.

i decided to bury the matter and forget it since i was only trying to help initially, but on a second thought it came to mind how he might have access to peoples homes to rob or even kidnap them, since sometimes he is at my place with my family alne while he waited for me. i braodcasted to all my contacts telling them about the situation and to end all contacts with him.please pass this along as you dont know whom might be a victim, mine was just a case of scam, theirs might be robbery/kidnap/assassination etc....

Am very shocked myself, i personally entertained him for the new-year after waiting for me for at my place..

He sat with my wife and friends.. the way we sat and chatted, you wont even know he is a barber..

But this is what i get in return after i tried helping..

Am only thanking God he didnt rob or kidnap them or planned evil against them..

Please be very careful who you let in, some people are just not human and cant be human.

Sorry about that. Treachery is very common, and has been so since creation.

However, hope you're not a poor judge of character. Otherwise, you should have discerned about initio that this guy isn't the kind of person you get too chummy or charitable with.

With his facial look, you need no soothsayer to tell you that the guy is a criminal. Look at his hard face.

I won't advise to you to stop helping people if you are moved by your spirit to do so. Well done for exposing the scammer. You lost 360k, and he lost a future. His loss is much higher.

After i was scammed of 441K.. i lost trust in everyone, at this point sef, am not sure if i still trust my left leg, TRUST is like gamble, if you put in your money, you either expect winning or loosing, so if you dont have the mind of gambling or cant let the money go, then dont Bleep with TRUST..!!

Don't be deterred in helping others in the future. God in his infinite mercy will reward you. He has only succeeded in bringing curse to himself. He has lost that trust from u , ur family members, friends etc. That money will not last for him neither will it be useful for him. Just forget about it and move on. Very soon, u ll hear dat he is jumping from one church to the other looking for solution to a self inflicted problem.
