I just came from their presentation today 3rd of July, 2025 at LCCI building 10A Dr Nurudeen Olowopopo road where the company is located. The Nigeria police and EFCC need to visit this company. The marketers are desperate to get your hard-earned money. 1. Their agents (surveyors) meet with you in places where they feel high-net-worth people go to, e.g., shopping malls,supermarkets, airport (local and int'l), social clubs etc 2. Your details are entered into a database and months/years later, you get a call to be reminded that you have won a voucher The lies: you will be told that you have won a voucher that will take care of your travel expenses, that it can a family of 4 to 6 and it is completely free because it has been paid for. You will be asked to come with your spouse (the idea behind this is so that both of you will be psyched to make decisions on the spot, e.g a woman who likes to travel but has never travelled before will see this as a life time opportunity and will talk the husband to part with some initial payment). you and your spouse will be sent a text message to come for the presentation (don't be fooled; the presentation is NOT the presentation of your voucher to you; rather, it is a presentation to explain to you how much you are to pay) 3. When you get there, you will be asked to present the text message that you and your spouse received 4. You will be asked to fill a form 5. based on this form, an agent will be assigned to you ( if you are igbo, an igbo agent will be assigned to you, if you are Yoruba, someone who speaks yoruba will be assigned to you etc) 6. The agent will try all his/her best to psyche you to know what you do for a living, to know which countries you have travelled to, to know what your wife does, (this is to enable them to know your networth and weak spots and how they can pressure you to part with some % of money at least if you can't pay all. 7. They will try as much as possible to make you feel they are not scams by asking you how you felt when you got the calls and text messages, then they will go ahead to offer you choices of drinks, from water to soft drinks to tea or coffee 8. When you try to ask questions, the marketers are smart enough to quickly call the attention of their managers, who will quickly come to their aid to answer your questions smartly (you will later notice that they will not talk about any cost until the presentation is made; all they want to know is your financial capacity; this will give them the intel to know how they can apply pressure). Please note: Be careful of the ones that dress seductively (the ones who expose parts of their breasts). Their dress sense are tactics geared to ensnare you - the man. Then they sweet talk your wife to make her feel happy 9. Then the time of presentation comes- which is the main reason you were invited ( the voucher is just a decoy to get you interested to come over, it is a scam 10. Then they tell you tell you before you can enjoy the voucher, you have to become a member. they extend the presentation further with how the company has expanded to other continents of the world. They will talk about a one time payment, that will last for 20 years, and another $375 to be paid when you travel within Africa, and a $750 when you travel outside Africa (They present this part to you as though it is the cheapest thing you can get anywhere in the world) then the presentation ends 11. The marketers are assigned to attend to you again to sweet-talk you into getting to know the cost of the membership. upon showing you the cost, with the smallest amount to pay in installment starting from around #416,000 upward to #9million naira 12. The pressure then begins. They want you to make a decision and make the payment on the spot. if you have expose yourself and they know your background and work, they use it to sweet-talk and lure you. if they can't get you via that, they use your wife to get to you, e.g., Madam, don't you want to go for vacation? talk to your husband to make small deposit 13. if you are very foolish, you will part with your money (which is nonrefundable). 14. Later you will get to know that the voucher they used as bait to lure you to come to their premises is just for the accommodation; you are the one to pay for your visa processing and also pay for your ticket, and you are to do it through them, or else you will not enjoy the voucher, which is contrary to what their agents said. These agents and their phone numbers are Chisom—07074704560, Gold—07069113732, Damilola—08127089844, and Amos—09015896941. observation: The manner of their approach of marketing is crafty and a scam. Whether the company is legit or not the fact that they used free voucher to lure their victims presents them in a bad light There is nothing bad in publishing the cost of your travel agency to the public; those who can afford it will afford it, and those who can't will stay away. why force people to pay on the spot and right on there by using confident, persuasive tactics to swindle people. Imagine telling someone if he can't pay #7 million at once, he can pay #416,000 for 12 months. Haba, do you even know how much he collects as salary all in the name of going for a 3 days vacation. The scammers are getting smarter and more professional. |
