I must have shared a story of an influential man who walked into my store with his Lexus 350 last year 2024,with the offer to do big time exportation with my Brand.
He walked in with 2 extra men,who he claimed was his boys.
His polished demeanor and air of authority made an impression immediately. He introduced himself as an investor in the Ogbono business, casually mentioning that he sends Ogbono seeds outside the country and has a network of buyers overseas.
He has been duped by one of his boy who has been the one buying from me,the boy ran away with huge Millions he was sent to buy Ogbono with.
So this time around he came down from Lagos to meet me one on one and do business directly with me,so once he pays,I'll send across.
Of a true I know his boy but I ddnt know the guy ran away with the last money he was given to get goods from me.
I even helped by giving him contact of someone who handled a similar case for me.
His confidence seemed to assure reliability.
He made his first purchase, paid in full, and left.
A few weeks later, he called back for a second transaction, and again, he paid in full.
Called for the third supply and paid in full.
His punctuality in payment and polished appearance started to build my trust.
When he called the fourth time,he requested for another supply,emphasizing how it would benefit his overseas buyers and that he had not collected money from the previous week's supply.
I insisted I must get at least 80% of the money.
This time, however, he only paid half of the amount upfront, promising to balance the payment shortly.
Don’t worry,” he said with assurance, “you can send someone to come and know my house and hotel in Lagos.
Kachi,trusting his previous record and the impression of credibility he gave,I agreed.
People have trusted me with millions and I deliver, even when they have not met with me
I actually sent my guy to do the supply in his house,my guy confirmed that he was welcomed and even taken to the hotel where the ogbono was dropped.
He assured him not to worry that the money will drop in a week's time.
But days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. The balance was never paid. I reached out several times
