Good morning all, trust we're doing great in our area of endeavours.

I am here again not to bother us with my "issues" but rather to plead further for assistance.

Firstly, I want to appreciate all those who have sympathised with me and others for their advise. Special thanks to Zuluhead(moniker) for reaching out though the option he proffered had been applied last year with no result.

I appeal to the MODERATORS to help move this thread to the front page so that more options can be explored, who knows maybe the assistance I need might come from there.

Please help a brother. I have never felt the way I feel right now in my entire life. It's so bad that I depend on my brother financially for certain family expenditures. He is getting agitated because he has his own family too and our elderly parents to carter for since I am not working anymore.

Please I am optimistic that there are still people here who can help with practical solution towards recovering my money. Anyone close to the the moderators should help me talk to them.

I cannot commit suicide but I now see reason people commits it. Depression is one of the worst sicknesses. Atimes I feel like the next day shouldn't come. Sleeping is now an uphill task. I rarely sleep because I am always obsessed.

Although I started learning a trade from my friend but it has not been easy since there is no income. I don't know what to do again.

Help is all I need. Not financial help but the best way to go about recovering my money from a fraudulent individual.

I am hopeful...

Have a lovely weekend.

My first question is whether you are sure he has money at the moment. Because, any method you applied if he doesn't have the money to pay you, it will amount to nothing. When you're sure then, Pm me

Wow! U just spoke my mind!!

DavidEsq:
I have the impression that OP doesn't need the kinda help suggested to him. This is because every option suggested to him is rejected by him. I doubt if he would reject the option of fund raising for him. This should make one wary of him. Wat exactly is he asking? Just FP or something implied?

this ain't an issue of scamming, it's just a transaction gone bad, I'm sure they must already have told him that and that's why the officers even want to milk more money from him. Know who u are dealing with, I always get anoyed when even my blood brothers mention "trust" or words like " don't but trust me" ... Trust has nothing to do with my friendship or business dealings with anyone, never let anyone fool u into dealing with someone fraudulent.

Even I now paid an AC service man to come and work for me and it's 3days now without coming to do what he was paid for. Well I was wise enough to pay him only 2k out of the amount upon all I still feel bad. Humans are seldom what the appear to be.

OP I WILL BE HONEST WITH YOU THAT MONEY MIGHT JUST BE WATER OVER THE DAM!!

Nigeria police go fustrate you, even Efcc is the worse, don't be fooled by those media stunt, they will do nothing but milk u of your remaining car.

what you said about police and Efcc is a lie sir.u do not have the direct experience

MorufuAtanda:
The moral of the lesson I take from this thread is what I have always been harping about. No matter how good a business might sound,never invest all your saving in it. Start with 30% of your savings. I remember when I put in about 3.7 million in a failed venture, I felt like dying but the lesson I learnt from there made me 10 times richer than that amount within 4 years.

Too bad, but OP should come out of this much more financially sensible.

If the guy has valuables that can be confiscated, go to SIB unit, Zone 9, Umuahia and plead with police officers, just budget like 150K. Make sure they confiscate every valuable he has. If he has cars, they should tow the cars down to Umuahia. Let him also feel pains.

What can I do with 20k,i mean 20k to make me earn more? Seems u r a business oriented person

My Story:

I paid a guy 3.2million since 2017 to supply me Zinc Ore but he defaulted . I have since reported the matter to his father, village king, and town union president, yet no result. I visited his house sometime last year and after much noise, he signed an agreement before his lawyer and my own lawyer to pay effective April last year, but reneged again.

His village king as well as his lawyer have since lost interest in the matter. They advised that having exhausted all peaceful means of recovering the fund; I am at liberty to explore other options since the guy refused to oblige.

I don't want to arrest him with the police in his state of residence because I know he can easily riddle his way out. Considering our judicial system, I think going to court would prolong the case.

A friend suggested that since I live in Lagos and him at the East, the best option will be using EFCC, Special Fraud Unit or Force CID to arrest him (debtor) after obtaining approval from IG's office which seems to be expensive. I visited SFU Ikoyi and was told that the petition to IG will cost me 60,000 to 100,000 while mobilization for the officers that will go for his arrest amounts to 250,000.

The above fund put together is almost 400,000 naira or more, which I don't have at the moment. I have since put my car for sale to pursue this case.

I have lost a lot in the course of traveling for this debt. I lost my job last year because I couldn't continue servicing the loan I took from First Bank and my place of work as well.

My wife is now the pillar of the family. The situation around me is so pathetic.

Please I need suggestions and anyone that can assist me pursue this case. I have print out of all the payment made to him(debtor), signed agreement by him and other documents.

Please help a brother.

I will appreciate if the moderators can help me push this post to front page. I am totally devastated with no hope at sight.

my brother forget the money,leave the scammer alone to fate ,if you waste 400,000 plus on using efcc on him you may get more broke because you will definitely spend more than that.Instead use the 400k for something else.Somethings are hard to forget ,just let go.400k is too much to waste on someone that may not even pay you back even though the court finds him guilty.POnder on these things .It may sound foolish ,but ponder on it my brother.400K Plus will go a long way in helping your life.You have lost too much chasing the scammer to give you back your money and you might lose more.JUst let go

CADA:
OP I'd suggest you shouldn't sell your car solely to pursue that case. Rather you may sell it and think of a business whether little to set up. People do fall and rise again.

I and my dad were once into solid mineral. My dad was hardcore while after so many challenges (loosing loads of millions of naira. Loosing 34 20ft cntr disguised to be lead and zinc ore which were later used in sand filling lily pond terminal in apapa)in the business, I suggested to him to quit. Thankfully, he heeded.

Take it easy. Think about it this way, you may also have lost the money if you had shipped it and those buyers lie to you about the final test analysis result.

I would suggest you calm down, you will bounce back but only when you focus. Irony of life is, the said guy may not still be more successful than you in life but these things makes your remember you need to be smarter, ask questions and become stronger. It's better it happened then than now.

Be strong.
I dont know your location but you may explore local production like what I do.

I produce ice blocks now and it's been a calm, challenging but ascending experience since for me.

Dont be too scared.

nokatakata:
I do not think EFCC will charge you 250k for mobilisation nonsense. There is EFCC office in almost every state. It's not like they have to travel from Lagos to the East. That will be very fraudulent of them to say. We all know that the NPF can be extremely corrupt. Telling you to pay 60k to petition IG doesn't make sense.

I think you need to make this public and get a good lawyer. How can someone scam you and the people who are supposed to enforce the law are asking for money to do their job. 60k for petition? That is fraud on it's own.

Oga as an experienced businessman, I Don see 35 before I reach 29 years. Let me tell you the price list of (illegal) petition fee received by the corrupt Nigeria police force.

1. To petition DPO, you pay N5,000, arrest/mobilization fee is N5,000-10,000 depending on the suspect location within their jurisdiction, you also pay N5000-N10000 for witness statement paper and pen you'll use to write statement. When the suspect is caught he will pay bail of N10,000 - 20000 depending of the levity of the crime. If the suspect is located in another state of city outside their jurisdiction, you'll pay N20,000 for signal in order to notify the police state or state command of his present location.

2 Area command

To petition the AC, you write and 10,000-20000 before the petition is submitted. Depending on your power of negotiation.

Arrest/mobilization/tracking- N30000- N40000 depending on the suspects location.
Signal- 20,000
Statement paper- 5,000- 10,000
Suspect to pay bail of 20,000-30,000

3. ZONAL COMMAND

To petition AIG/DIG of the command- N25,000

Arrest/mobilization/tracking- N50,000-N70000

Signal- 20,000

Statement paper- 10000

Suspect to pay bail of 20,000- 50,0000

4 Inspector-general office, Abuja

Petition- N50,000- 100000

Arrest/mobilization/tracking- N250,000- N500000

Signal-100,000

Statement paper- 30000- 50000

Suspect to pay bail of - 100,000- 500,000

Pray make the suspect no get money pass you, you fit sleep for the same cell wey him sleep last nite. grin

Whereas, I have sent retinue of posts begging for my issues be taken to the front page for more suggestions and possible solutions.

Anyway such is life. Help locates people differently. I have accepted my situation.

For every one stupid thread which makes front page about ten good ones waste away.

shame! this is the major reason why Nigeria has refused to move forward economically, coz it is hard to do business with Nigerians nowadays without suffering defaults.

life is not always what it seems as in physical in nigeria, never take a risk of money with anyone just to appear nice to people, because when the decision backfires, nobody will be there to help.

op, I think the media trial will help if the guy still has a iota of name to protect. but these efcc and police trials will more likely put you into more debts, Nigerian public or civil servants are the worst kind of people to deal with, but if the media trial works, then police or efcc may swoop in to try and portray image that they are active in service (eye service).

that is my suggestion

but if na me, the guy go don hear am teytey! no need for police or efcc.

I can relate. You are right but this guy packaged the lies nicely. Note, I sent someone to visit his house and stay put before I made the transfer. He was able to manipulate things. The Dad said he gave the guy 5,000,000 naira sometime ago but he mismanaged it.
Also that he married first wife, sacked her, marry second one, sacked and when he wanted to marry the third wife, the dad refused but he went on with the marriage. So from findings, he is not in terms with the dad. Bro, a lot of stories. I am dieying silently. Some times I begin to ask the essence of living.

.

ALL THOSE STORIES ARE NON OF YOUR BUSINESS.. YOUR MONEY IS..SO FOCUS ON THAT AND YOU LL GET IT.. GO GET A CERTIFIED DEBT RECOVERY AGENT (LAWYER) AND YOUR MONEY LL FIND YOU.. I JUST DID THAT AND GOT MINE WITHIN 4 MONTHS THIS YEAR... SAME BUSINESS TRANSACTION THAT TOOK PLACE SINCE 2013... A DEBT IS A DEBT. NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES
