How Loom landed me in Doom by sEGXY2(m): 9:47pm On May 15, 2019 |
"Cash out now. DM me how" "2k for 20k" "People already cashing out. what are you still waiting for?" All the above phrases seemed to be the trending whatsapp status about a few weeks back. One thing I know about money and Nigerians is that if any venture pays so much, it won't be on anybody's WhatsApp status. A lot of people will probably not even know about it until it has stopped cashing out. That's what I'm certain about. However when almost everyone on my WhatsApp kept posting about it, it spurred curiosity in me. "This must be the next big thing" I thought to myself.Upon further enquiry, I learnt loom's payment unlike Ponzi schemes does not take much time and are 100% guaranteed. It sounded like exactly what I was looking for at that moment considering the fact that I've been looking for ways to multiply my streams of income. This must be what Robert Kiyosaki was saying in his book when he advised that you use money to work for money. My special adviser on loom investment advised I invest a huge sum of money into the scheme and receive times ten of my investment before many people jump into it. He almost coerced me into borrowing money just so that I'll invest in his loom. Greed got the better part of me and my plan was to invest the entirety of my salary in the scheme so that my cashout would be massive. The end of the month was drawing closer at each passing day and it somehow seemed like forever. While I waited, my imaginations ran wild with what I would do with the dividend of my about-to-be investment. The dividend totaled 200k. In my small mind, that 200k seemed like a million bucks. The next morning a neighbor offended me slightly and I told myself when I get my 200k, I'm moving to Lekki phase one so I won't have to deal with idiotic neighbors like that. Shuttling keke and Danforth now seemed like a death sentence. For someone that would be worth 200k in a few days, I should do better. So my mind said. That was how I started hailing Uber with my little savings. Afterall when I get my 200k I will repay in multiple folds. Distances my broke ass used to walk or chart Danfo to were now sorted with almighty Uber. In my mind I was eventually starting to live the lifestyle I used to dream about except that I don't have a mansion in banana island yet. Meanwhile my special adviser on loom investment kept attacking my phone ceaselessly with uncountable calls and messages asking for when my investment would be ready. One would think I held his destiny hostage, with the way he was disturbing my line. A smart person would've known something was not right but silly me I just wanted to cash out 200k where I didn't sow. Finally the payday arrived. I was the first person to knock at my bosses door to subtly remind him that its the month end already. He feigned ignorance at my subtle reminder but I didn't care. I was sure he perfectly understood where I was getting at. Towards d end of the day I received my salary, with joy in my heart and smile on my lips i transferred everything to the loom guy who was a trusted friend. I called him to verify if he has seen the alert, he replied in the affirmative and further stated that my dividend should be ready in 24 hrs. Once again my heart leaped for joy. My confidence skyrocketed. Nothing can compare to the confidence money brings, not even drugs. I walked with swagger throughout the day. I even smiled to strangers while I headed home that evening. My doom tales began 24hrs later. At first, loom guy's number was not going through. Roles changed quickly. I began calling his line like he held the key to my life. At first I thought perhaps maybe it was the network then I called him with another of my line and it went through this time around. Upon discovering I was the one, he aborted the call instantly. At that moment I realized instantly that I had been swindled. I tried all I could to recover my funds but it was all in vain as all I ended up with were failed promises and people calling me a fool to my face. The leftover of my savings would barely carry me through the two next days plus we were just entering into a new month. The next month was not child's play. It was pure hunger. People were stunned by how I magically transformed from Rick Ross to Wiz Khalifa without a surgery. If I hadn't been so foolish I would've avoided all these however my foolishness is outstanding although I learnt my lesson but it was painful shaa. culled from http://loudthoughts.com.ng |
