Hello naira landers I greet you all, two years ago I spoke to a friend of 15 years that I have some mini buses that I plan to load because I can't travel to naija now because of my job, then he said that I should go head and ship the goods that he will handle the sells and remit the money back to me that I need not bother, I was happy that at last I have a friend/brother who can take care of my things, that was a very big relief but little did I know I was in a for the shock of my life.

I told him that another issue on grand is that if I load the 40ft container of those buses it will cost about $5,000 to collect the original BL, but he assured me that he will arrange the frieght money once he head back to naija because as at the time of our discussion he was in South Korea, that as soon as he heads back to naija he will remit the money for the frieght, my joy knew no bound because I couldn't believe such good friends still exist but I guess I was wrong I did know all he was doing was for me to ship the goods first before he shows his true colour.

He actually remitted $5,000 into my account I paid the shipping company and got the original BL which i DHL to him he actually was the one that paid for the clearing so after the sells to collect the money back.
But after sells of the whole entire container he recorded everything on two A4 paper waiting for my arrival into the country few months later, but to my greatest surprise when he handed me the A4 paper containing all the sells I noticed some discrepancies which I confronted him but he denied it all, but what he didn't now was that I have all the detail of every single pin in that container.

After much talk he said he was suspecting his boys most have made away with some of the goods that to the best of his knowledge that what he recorded was all that he saw, I trust him so i didn't think he could lie to me because he is successful in his Line of business which was why I trusted him in the first place, so in conclusion of our meeting that day I told him to please investigate his boys to find who among them stole the missing goods, I left afterwards but to my greatest surprise two days later he said I should meet him at the fire fire at Toyota bus stop opposite ladipo market, as God could have it I went to ladipo that faithful day with an Airforce friend of mine, I told him to follow me to fire service across the road, we got there my friend was seating inside his car we entered the car my self and my Airforce friend few minutes later a man on plain cloth identified him self as an officer that he should drive to the station, I was shocked and surprised why my best friend could invite police on me, it then dawn on me that he was trying to intimidate me or scare me away from asking him about the money from the sells of my 40ft container.

I told the police officer that I need to go pick my car from where I packed it because I am not sure how long I will be with them at the station, maybe probably because of my Airforce friend they allowed me to go pick my car then the officer entered my car to the station, from 1pm I was at the station till 10pm that day with my Airforce friend even when I pleaded with him to go home but he refused. My greedy friend did not give me one naira from the sells of the 40ft container but he told the police that I have to balance him about one million that our agreement was to share the profit 50/50 because he invested$5,000 dollar in the business which was all lie, we never had such discussion to share any profit, he only said he will help me sell the good and remit the money back to me so I could load more containers, to cut the long story I was bailed that night and was asked how much I could come up with the next day if I am allowed to go home I told them I could come up with 500k so I was left to go home, the next day i went straight to a lawyer and explained everything to them the next day my lawyer followed me to the station, they were all waiting for me to bring the 500k only for me to step into the office of the person in charge of the case and told them that we will not pay the money men you could see the disappointment in all their faces. Thats how I lost all the money for my 40ft container, I wanted him to sell everything deduct his $5000 freight money he remitted to me and clearing charges then the balance once I come home we will think of what to do with the remaining balance even when my kids sisters wanted to go over to ladipo to monitor him I told them no that I wouldn't want him to feel that I don't trust him but with all that happened every one never stopped blaming me, some even called me stupid for trusting blindly.
With all that happened I thank God that I am still alive because if my Airforce friend wasn't with me who knows where they plan taken me, so I ask my self can you trust again? Well only time will tell.
Please for every Nigerian abroad working day and night trying to make a living in winter, summer and in the rain trying to save money to load goods to Nigeria please shine your eye or better still load your goods buy ticket and go sell your thing and come back because that will save you a whole lot of headache take my word for it.

This story is long I try to make it as short as possible, God will continue to left us all no matter the plan of the enemy.

We hear about missing persons everyday, take my experience for example I could have been declared missing if I had gone to meet him alone but my God is and will always be an awesome God anytime.

Sorry OP. I know for sure that he will reap what he has sown.
It is indeed difficult to find honest people these days. Money has a very tempting spirit and if one is not careful and strong willed, he would end up selling his very own soul for it, talkless of the souls of others.

Its well o

Its really hard to do business with greedy people but that's good that you we're saved from this scammer. Next time be careful

Yes. But Abeg, next time make sure you have every business communication in print with signatures to boot. Even if it is something g as simple as loaning a friend some small cash or anything g for that mater. As long as you expect to be refunded or payed back, get it in written the persons hand writing and signature not printed.
People can claim anything if there is no record stating otherwise. Unless the person admits his faults, Or you manage to get a withness or some other proof, no lawyer would be able to help you.
Pkele.
