Dear Editor,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Good day, I\u2019m writing this as a last resort to a situation that is beyond my control, as the police aren\u2019t giving me any satisfaction.<\/p>\n

This is a warning to all who may be victims like myself and not know it.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I do not want to mention the business name; however, I have been involved with a young lady who is scamming people by advertising boxes on her Facebook business page from time to time.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Customers would come to her store and sign up for the boxes.<\/p>\n

A contract was signed, and numbers were selected, making it seem professional.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Everything was going well until the young lady postponed the distribution of the boxes around January, claiming that people hadn’t paid for them.<\/p>\n

This was unacceptable as the contract clearly stated that once selected, the date cannot be changed. I tried calling several times to clarify the situation, but I could not reach the young lady.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

She had two girls working in the store who would assist to the best of their ability, but there were always problems reaching the young lady.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

There were also incidents where other box members reached out to me, stating that they could not get in contact with this young lady. She is never at the store and always leaves her employees to deal with disgruntled customers\/box members.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of February, the young lady again postponed the distribution, claiming that the store had been robbed, and all the box money had disappeared.<\/p>\n

This story doesn\u2019t add up, as she told some people that someone had broken into her car while she was inside, while telling others that they had broken into her home.<\/p>\n

Amidst all these contradictory stories regarding the box money, the young lady was very rude during this process. She doesn\u2019t even have time to answer messages or talk to people properly.<\/p>\n

People, including myself, cannot cash out anymore as she has decided to cancel the boxes.<\/p>\n

She doesn\u2019t care that she has inconvenienced anyone, as it is my belief that she uses the box money to stock up her store and pay for her 2023 vehicle, among other luxurious items.<\/p>\n

Please stay clear of this young lady and her business, as she is causing big trouble.<\/p>\n
