Good day Nairalanders,

It's quite unfortunate that people such as dav8id aka davidprof still roam free on Nairaland, causing havoc to unsuspecting victims.


Here is my ordeal with him.

He has a thread on egusi storage.
https://www.nairaland.com/1838281/long-awaited-egusi-melon-storage

I decided to give him a trial so i sent money to him to join his whatsapp broadcast list as this was a prerequiste to be part of his whatsapp broadcast list for updates on commodity price.

During Egusi harvest in August he sent a whatsapp broadcast of farmgate egusi prices.

I decided to buy some bags by sending money to his account. (He was so rude and arrogant when we dicussed, and easily turns every discussion to quarrel)

The money sent to him was meant for the purchase and storage of unpeeled egusi seed, size 33 bag.

After receiving the money, he sent me pictures of the bags of egusi that bears names different from the one which he requested me to send.

I pointed out the name issue on the bags, but he immediately countered and told me i have to send some money for bagging the egusi and if i dont send it immediatly, he is going to terminate every thing. And that he has not agreed to store the egusi for me even after i have already sent money to him.

After cooling off for some days because i was so upset with this guy, i later decided to send the money for bagging.
He still didnt show me the bags where he wrote my names correctly till date.

Before purchasing bags of egusi from him, he normally sends whatsapp broadcasts of egusi market prices, but after 2 weeks of payment. He stopped and his excuse was that some people share his price update to others not on his broadcast list.
And if i want to keep getting update i have to pay N10,000.

I didnt bother joining the list again because i suspected this guy to be a fraudster.

After 3 months, on November 12th, dav8id sent me message on whatsapp that some UK guys want to buy Egusi and they were willing to buy for almost double the current price of Egusi bags.
He asked that i send him money immediately, so he can transport my bags to the market where the UK guys will purchase them.
He also said i am the only one left to send him money for the trasportation.

I later sent the money to him.

I was waiting for feedback but he never bothered to get back.

I had to contact him once again and he told me, the market union where demanding fee before he can sell and its untill the next week that he will sell the egusi bags.

I waited the next week and he still didnt sell them.
I also waited the following week, still nothing from him.

I later told him to sell my own egusi at give away price, i needed to cash out and can no longer wait for his phantom UK buyers.

He then told me he was sick that he will tell his brother to handle the sales.

I waited for 2 weeks yet he still wasnt able to sell them.

It was then i decided to go to Lafia to see if this bags actually exist.
I told him i was coming to Lafia , where can i meet him? He told me when i'm in Lafia i should give him a call.

I got to Abuja and called him that i am on my way to Lafia, and he told me to Lodge in Lafia and he will send someone to me the following day.

Now this week monday i arrived Lafia, after calling him serverally, he picked and told me to be patient that once his agents arrive lafia he will send them to me.

I waited from Monday to thursday i didnt meet any one.

He later sent whatsapp messages that, he cant pick my calls, that his job is not to answer calls , that he is in Kaduna handling business.
He even told me that i should have told him before i came to Lafia.


From my above experience, i can categorically tell you dav8id is a fraudster.


What pains me most is having to leave Lagos down to Lafia , with all the risks on the road and fear of the north. Coupled with difficulty to board buses during this festive season. So much crowd at bus terminals with exhobitant prices.
Having to lodge for 4 days and after that, i didnt see anyone, he didnt even flash, talkless of call. All his discussion where only on Whatsapp.
I was the one who did all the calling, and he bearly picks up.

Disheartening indeed. One day he would meet his waterloo, surely.
And to actually think I wanted to meet this Dav8id of an idiot! Can moderators please push forward please?

Mod Pls!!
Yet, we put blames on our leaders while, we do more evil and harm to our fellow


We need to hear Dav8id side of the story tho!

This one pass me, i though na only house and vehicles dey cause gbege. Kingreign, what can u say? Or u are yet to recovered from the blow i dealth u last time? GAZZUZZ is busy, money must enter, where is Nurey sef, him is d master at resolving issues

NEVER SEND MONEY WITHOUT CONFIRMING THE PRODUCT!!!

First off, you have yourself to blame. It is naive to send money to a stranger without confirming authenticity of said product. It is also naive to do a transaction with someone without knowing his/her physical location and how to retrieve funds if things go south.

Secondly, I cant believe people are paying money to join whatsapp groups!

If you follow threads on nairaland, there have been many scammers who come on here promising everything only to run away after conning a good number of people.

If you have the picture of this person, or a phone number put it up so that he/she can be traced. Otherwise, there's not much that can be done with the moniker "Dav8id".

Thanks for the heads up.

His profile here on Nairaland is deceptive. It got me thinking he is grounded in agro business.
Although there were warning signs but had to give him benefit of the doubt since he wasnt banned by the moderators despite the number of threads and disputes he has on nairaland.

The mods need to do the needful to prevent people from getting duped by this guy and his cohorts.

I think he has some alibi here on nairaland who give him support when needed to save his image.

We need to hear Dav8id side of the story tho!

He was last seen online 5:10pm.last time i checked. Meaning he has seen the mention and if possible this thread.

I am also waiting to hear from him because he is yet to respond to whatsapp messges for 2 days and he has viewed the messages.

Nothing like fat money easily. It was suppose to mature with time and not some get rich quick scheme.

Until we hear David side of the story.

Op, I hope you have proof of transactions and payment?

If after dav8id sees this thread and doesn't respond. It's better you report the case to efcc or police. The bad side is you didn't deal with a company, you did business with an individual.

Better find a way and start tracking him. Until I hear his side of the story. Send him a what's app msg and try to call him and see if he will respond.

That's bad of him. All the CIA, FBI, DSS, MI6 of Nairaland should swing into action now before another person falls prey of Dav8id.

Lalastical you are needed here bro!!

Investigation completed!
Let's give Dav8id till tomorrow morning. I nerd to hear his part.

Seem he is more into more than 'Agro products'

am speechless

I am PURITYMYPRIDE.I find it difficult to access nairaland with my username.I have to open a new account. Bro , i am so sad to hear your story.If you go through that thread you will find out where i warned people to be careful with that guy.But do to greed and hunger for quick money people will never listen. I have lived in the north and know these agents very well.Why do you have to entrust your money to a total stranger? Do you think he wants you to make profit?I am sure he has done this to a lot of people but the shame will never allow them to talk.Never entrust your money or business to a stranger.If you must do business take your time to learn that business and start small.Let this be a lesson to you and many others.God bless you

Man inhumanity unto man. Man is a variable factor.let us help n track this man, David. He needs to be taught a bitter lesson for scamming innocent people of their hard earned cash. We must be careful n sensitive when dealing financially with ppl here.

@Dav8id, in the spirit of fair hearing you are being given the opportunity to respond to what websolushun stated against you.

This is the type of thread that makes me loose faith in humanity.
Op, sorry about your ordeal.. Its so disheartening.
That David of a guy must be a very heartless fellow to have made you go through such stress without any feeling of remorse. I don't care about his side of story.

This same david duped me 600k 2014 on this egusi thing. Same UK blablabla story and latter said my goods were burnt in communal clash and I need wait till Gov pays.
This was when he started his egusi duping runs.

Well, its official though, david8 is rude, everyone says that but somehow still finds ways to send him money. Isokay.

Agricultural storage is miscontrued for a get rich kind of business and that is an exaggeration. Let the man defend himself first, then we go know how far.

Hope the op is wrong

Hmmmmmm

The way pple transfer funds to nameless and faceless pple is scary. If you have over 200k, why not go to where the action is and do part of the legwork?
Its this idea of sitting back and waiting for someone to do all the dirty work that creates an avenue for scam.
OP, my advice to u is move on and try next time to go down to where the action is, see the physical products u are interested in, touch them, weigh them before u part with 10kobo. If u had lost only transport cost amd hotel accomodation just to be sure it wouldnt have been dis painful. God help us on our journey to success

There is something many people here do not understand. Business is not something you do by proxy. If you are not prepared to get your feet dirty and encounter all the variables involved, then stick to your day job and collect salary at month end. At least if govt owes you, your union can go on strike until they pay!

sorry for the loss bro, guess we are both victims of this david guy.

A thread such as this should have be opened then so as to expose him.

It baffles me how his thread is still up and running ever since then and it hasnt got the mods attention.
I use to think such threads would be busted over a period of time.

Nothing like get rich quick here. Storage business takes time to mature.

That guy is a confirmed frausdster.
His responds earlier today on whatsapp after 2 days was that i am forming Jet Li abi

Thanks for the tips. You've said it all

If possible post the screen shot of the chat here, please.

bump till he responds

If you want something from the street, you ought to come down to the street and get it yourself.
