DIANA MARUA CLAIMS REAL ESTATE COMPANY LIMAVEST USED HER TO SCAM LAND BUYERS

Social media influencer Diana Marua is claiming real estate company LimaVest used her brand to swindle land buyers. This is after the company owners Waweru Kuria and Shicco Waweru approached her to be their brand ambassador.

“#Limavest_is_a_scam I would like to say this is one of the hardest posts I have ever written. I have really thought about it and this is after a few months of trying to get a Solution.  @Waweru_Kuria and @Shiccowaweru of @Limavest_ on this picture approached me sometime mid-last year wanting me to be a brand ambassador of their company @Limavest_ that deals in “Selling Land”

 Just like any other client, I committed myself to popularising the business even before visiting the site. This was the first mistake I made. However, like I always do, I give the best marketing possible to all my clients. I was delighted to attract customers to buy land from them majorly from my following on social media and fans from my YouTube page.

Some fans went the extra mile to send money to @Limavest_ even without seeing the land being sold out of the trust they had in me. To my followers, I apologise for not doing my due diligence to confirm if the said land had the right documentation by the time I was making the trip to see the “LimaVest project” in Malindi.”

On the 25th of September, 2020, we went to Malindi for a site visit with some potential buyers and customers who had paid in advance after seeing my YouTube adverts. This is when I had a video call conversation with Jennifer who is based in the US. She had sent her brother to assess the 3 acres of land she had bought. Prior to the site visit, #Limavest had lied to #Jennifer that her land was already planted with pineapples and the title deeds were being processed.

Attached are chats of Jennifer who had paid over ksh700,000. It’s now over 6 months and she has not received any of her title deeds or documentation to prove ownership of the three acres of land she paid for. When she requested for a refund, there was a lot of back and forth and eventually, @Waweru_Kuria and @Shiccowaweru told her to go to court! How rude! That is when I realised that @limavest_ was not genuine.

I immediately made a decision to stop the marketing. Months ago, I distanced myself from this but It was a hard thing to decide how I will break the news to my followers that are still sending money wakiamini Diana hawezi uza kitu mbaya; and that’s why I had to do it today.”

LimaVest addressed Diana’s allegations, claiming they owe the client a balance of Sh100,000 will be cleared by April 2021.
