“Give the thief in your midst the money to keep, it will never get lost” - Scam. 😢

In December 2019, I and a group of friends numbering 7 decided to start up a business in 2021, so we all agreed to be contributing a sum of 100k or 50k into an account for 12 months...

5 of us picked 100k per month, 3 people picked 50k per month. We already have the business to start this January and have agreed on the profit sharing formula based on how much you contributed.

PS: we were all cool friends who know each other....
Then we agreed to use the account of the person who likes money most in our midst, someone who won’t have mercy on us when we default, someone stingy who won’t use our money for giveaway. We actually placed the money in his account based on his kind of person...
Pompey has integrity and he doesn’t play with his money even though cunning, we gave him the money to keep based on the fact that we need strictness and we all are soft.

We started paying in from January 2020 till July 2020 that we all decided to stop due to covid 19...
weight on our necks. I was actually dropping all i had for the month.

At the end of July, we asked for the statement of Pompey’s account which he provided and we saw our money intact including his. He has been paying his own part too. Wow, we were surprised but we moved...
The total was 4,550,000 Naira. We resumed the payment in October but we ended it again in November ending taking the total to 5,850,000 Naira. During December, things became so tight for all of us, to eat was even a big deal for most especially me. I was broke...
Then there are about 3 of us who no longer want to be part of the scheme again, so we decided that everyone should get back their money. Those that contributed 100k will get their 900k while those that contributed 50k will get their 450k. During all these zoom meetings, Pompey...
was there. He was saying when we are ready, he will start disbursing. Bro, we are ready, disburse.

My uncle died last week, i can’t go to the bank, my so so so happened, i can’t transfer online, my this my that bla bla bla and later his number stopped going through...
We visited his house only to find out he has packed out and relocated to Canada this January.

I don’t even know if we should write the embassy.

Got a way to reach his family and his mum told us that before he left, he said some of his friends will come looking...
for him, that she should tell us that once he’s settled, he will send us our money.

We explained to his mum that he did borrow money from us, he stole our money but the woman said “shebi ore yin ni”

Ore awon wo, odabi wipe Mummy Pompey fe shoriibu.

Pain pain pain 😔
We made the most stupid assumption and decision. 😢
