He was arrested recently in a hotel located at the Osongoma area of Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, following a petition sent to the Commission by Joseph E. Uko, who alleged that Umanah swindled him of over N2.9million( Two Million, Nine Hundred Thousand Naira) and subsequently issued him a cheque for N500,000( Five Hundred Thousand Naira only) that was never honoured as the account in question was not funded to cover the sum for which the cheque was issued.
.
.
According to the petitioner, after several months of expecting to receive his 50% returns on investment, without any success, he decided to get back his invested funds. But all efforts made by him to get back his money proved abortive as Umanah deserted his office located at Plot 110-Unit D, Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo,, and went into hiding until operatives of the Commission smoked him out.
.
.
Before his arrest, Umanah, 62, allegedly lured people to invest in his company, by assuring them of a bogus 50% interest within one week. He allegedly operated smoothly in a number of states, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), but denied any knowledge of the petitioner and the evidence of his allegations against him.
Do People still fall for Ponzi schemes? What a shame
ReplyDeleteI follow you ask oh 🙄🙄
DeleteIs this the same Umanah Umanah the money doubler of years ago? or is this another Umanah Umanah doing the same business.
DeleteDo people even still do that MMM thing?
I remember on this blog when a lot of people invested in MMM and were arguing that it was real and they made a lot of money from it. I wonder if they still have the same opinion and will invest again in that that of scheme.
DeleteUmanah umanah of the early 90s?
DeleteThey do o. And if there's anything like that next year, people will still fall.
DeleteDoes anyone know anything about CROWD1?
Deletepeople made money from MMM very well...the thing is if you do not stop which is very very very hard to do you must surely lose cos someone somewhere must default and topple the whole pyramid..only those who start a ponzi scheme benefit from it
DeleteIs Norland a ponzi scheme?
DeleteAnon 10:18 I think he must be the same 90's Umanah Umanah. Jeez! 😣
DeleteMy eldest sister was working in a bank in PH then and told us how some people fell prey to this man. She discouraged all her friends from investing then and saved them from untold sorrow.
@ Mao, yes I know a whole lot about crowd1. Its an online network and affiliate marketing business. It's real but be ready to work.
DeleteLadyGee

ReplyDeleteGod punish all of them ndi binomo and flip cash people...
Is this the same Umanah that swindled people back in the 90's? I recall my mother always talking about how Umanah Umanah duped people that year.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, you see anything that involves money doubling? Count me out.
Pay N10,000 to get N100,000. Pay N20,000 and get 50% return on investment in 3 months. Forget it.
Bottom line: If its too good to be true, don't do it.
Papa mmadu!
ReplyDeleteAha! Good one but I wonder why people still do it tho! All Ponzi schemes na correct scam,it's another way of 419
ReplyDeleteGosh!! Is this the same man from twenty years ago that collected so many people’s money also.

ReplyDeleteI don't know how people keep falling for these Ponzi schemes. That's how my neighbor did the Arocom ish.she did 4k in 5 places,did 10k in 3 places,did 35k in 2 places and immediately she heard there was a new package for 182k,she did too. Not just her o.i have friends that did that Arocom stuff and got rice,milk,demo,etc. Till date non of them have gotten 1kobo. I have never and will never fall for anything that will tell me that I won't work for the money. That's greed.

ReplyDeleteGreed is the major reason why people engage in ponzi schemes. People want quick money.
ReplyDeleteThe poor economic situation in this country is the major reason this ponzi is still getting gullible people..
ReplyDeleteGOLIBE, I would rather say it is the mammonism in Nigeria that draws greedy people into ponzi. Same as fraudsters, polithievcians, pen-robbers in public and private sectors fake products manufacturers as well as the cheating traders in the markets.

One common denominator - get rich quick without sweat. ☹️
This man defrauded people in the 90s and has built his career as a fraudster. I worked for him when I discovered he is a fraudster, I left and he refused to pay me.
