Ndonye & Associates Gold scammers lawyers

Regarding the scam bellow We have also experienced the same, for a much higher amount. they seem to work in unison with their holding account nonsense, and blatant scams, the gold sellers recommended this lawyer to us, and low and behold, nothing gets delivered, they hide behind the story you need to buy more. and asked us to input even more fortunes in to their " hands"

Dont worry, we have other people who are on board, coming forward also unless this gets resolved immediately.

They will be stopped now. we want any one who have dealings with this or the bellow mentioned to be on guard. they will scam you. thats our experience as well as this poor man bellow.

Buying and selling gold is a tricky business, I therefore thought I had done my research, but unfortunately I seem to have come across some of the biggest, legitimate looking scammers in the business. They may work under different names and companies beware.

were acting for me in june 2016 for the purchase of gold investment. They have 50.000$ of my money, which they are refusing to give me back.In spite of many promises and excuses I have come to conclusion, that they works as scammers in association with other companies, who sell gold, who pretend to be legitimate. Namely in my case nacla minerals, patrick muchina and east african value cargo handling limited, daniel rwelengera.

I have made several attempts to contact the various different people and companies he keeps passing this off to. Apparently my money is held in escrow account in derek k. Ndonye company name. He has now began to make personal threats to me, which I have had to report to police. I am determined to get my money back and prevent this happening to anyone else, as they are mastermind fraudsters, who show a good front to their scams. Even when I visited their offices they put my mind at rest, which I now know was just a showcase for their scamming.

Beware of doing any business of anykind with derek k. Ndonye or any of the other fraudsters mentioned in this report.

These are some of the quotes and promises I have received dierctly from derek k. Ndonye - muriithi & ndonye advocates.



Mika,

Please find attached the draft escrow agreement between yourself and my firm in respect of the usd 50, 000 you will wire.

As agreed, upon receipt of the funds, I will await your instructions on release and I will work with you to confirm and verify all the payments and documentation all the way until the gold is exported.

I will shortly send you the agreement between yourself, patrick and daniel.

Once agreed, we will sign both agreements tomorrow morning.

Mika,

I have been involved in so many of this transactions and worked with daniel rwelengera on many of them. They have never failed because I ensure everything is done above board. I have a farm's name to safeguard, and we would not be where we are if contracts failed.

I guarantee you will be refunded the funds. Do not worry.

Mika,

Like I told you, keeping on writing this emails won't solve the pending issues. Ask your refinery director to speak to the director of the shipping agency and have the matter resolved. Look for the solution, not people to blame because that will not help you. He can call him on +254 [protected] or email him on [protected]@gmail.com

Dear buyer
From all i read about these gold buyers and sellers, they are all scammers. None is genuine. You might have lost money in the deal but am sorry it might be your turn for you to pay those that have lost to you. Its important to do a clean business without shortcuts to avoid such losses. Another person somewhere is complaining about you

Dear luxurybuyer,
I'm sorry to hear your story, which unfortunately sounds very much like mine. This scammer group seems to be well organized and must have continued their illegal actions for a long time. Can you please send me your contact details and also contacts to other people, that you know these scammers have stolen money and we can discuss this further? My email is mika.asikainen@gmail.com. Thank you.

Everyone knows how tricky gold sales can be. These gold scammers are however with plush offices, pretending to be professionals ( they have titles in law ) yet still they are working together under the guise of being genuine in the business. I met them personally before investing yet they still managed to rip me off. I'm sharing my story to help others and...

I have been a client for Mureithi & Ndonye Advocates for over 6 years!

I can only compare their passion and determination in their work as the same we receive here in The Netherlands.

As a charity organization, we must work with people with a heart and are down to earth honest and we desire nothing else but to continue to be represented by our Lawyers, Mureithi & Ndonye Advocates!

You have a problem with this Law firm, solve it but stop destroying their well deserved name with your Unknown malicious intentions!

I am the proprietor of Nacla minerals the company mentioned by one complainant going by the name Mr. Mika Asikainen.
I would like to put everything in black and white so that the anyone concerned can make conclusion for him/herself regarding the complaints aired by one Mika Asikainen.
The transaction involved hiring a lawyer in this case ‘Ndonye & associates’ as well as a shipping agent ‘East African value cargo handlers’.
We would like the complainant Mr. Mika Asikainen to confirm that he authorized the release of funds from Our lawyer (Ndonye & associates) to the shipping agent so that he can carry out his duties as agreed in the Purchase agreement document signed between Nacla Minerals and the said complainant. Let everyone concerned note that all the steps taken in implementing this transaction was in accordance with agreement signed and executed between the two parties namely Mr. Mika Asikainen the client and Nacla minerals the seller.
Mr. Mika Asikainen even visited the offices East African value cargo handlers and confirmed that the shipping company received the funds from ‘Ndonye & associates’ as per his authorization to our lawyer.
However, during this transaction period, Mika Asikainen started behaving in un-business wise and unprofessional manner, like wanting to introduce a third party into the ongoing business transaction something that we couldn’t just take lightly as this seemed to be one of popular tricks used by swindlers.
He refused to be accompanied by one of our representative to the final destination where the consignment was to be delivered and they pay us the final balance insisting that he doesn’t need to be accompanied by any one and we should trust him to send us the balance once he delivers to his final destination. This raised more questions than answers. He even refused to take photos with any employees of Nacla minerals something led us to start investigating his behavior and forced us to sort legal advice on how to approach such a scenario.
On one occasion within our business premises without him realizing that one of our employees was listening to his conversation he was overheard saying things to the effect that “these stupid Africans would not manage to get a visa to travel to Europe” something that made us to be more careful because we discovered this is not a client to be trusted in the first place.
When he realized that we are somehow digging deeper into his conduct, he became evasive and even in one the emails from him addressed to us “info@naclaminerals.com” he is proposing that involves a third party who would inject the remaining balance so that we can ship the cargo to his final destination. This proved to us all what we were suspecting that his main aim was to swindle us our commodity.

All what we are requesting from you Mr. Mika Asikainen is to follow the right procedures and report the matter to the relevant authorities instead of soiling other companys’ names. These companies were carrying out their duties and mandates in accordance with the instructions accorded to them by both the buyer and the seller (Mr. Mika Asikainen and Nacla Minerals).
We even offered to return the money you advanced, since even the owner of the consignment from the DRC Mr. Jean Bogongo had then ruled out against taking any risks by trusting you with our consignment because you proved to be a high risk client. And since we had a willing client from USA who was willing to purchase this consignment we offered to return your advance payment.
COULD YOU KINDLY CLARIFY PART OF THIS EMAIL WHICH YOU ADRESSED TO NDONYE& ASSOCIATES, that actually proves that you are not really after settling the matter but you have other hidden agendas.

Subject: Resolution Now
Derek Kioko Ndonye,
Thank you for your call this morning at 8.43am my time, and the call from Muchina at 10.40am and your willingness to settle the issue of my missing funds as a matter of urgency. There is only one way to do this now...
Thank you also for your proposal to pay my plane tickets and hotel accommodation in Nairobi, Kenya. However you must understand, that this won't happen under any circumstances due to the fact, that I have taken your threats seriously, and been advised how to deal with this by the authorities.

Your story is not adding up my brother, there is some truth which you are hiding. You have no concrete reason to conclude that three companies are working in cahoots to defraud you USD50, 000 and the why don't you first use legal means because what happens if your money is refunded and you get counter sued for defamation. Think twice before making hasty conclusions and name calling and spoiling other people business. As far as am concerned, you have to exhaust all legal means before you start using UN-orthodox which could end up back firing badly on your face. It has happened to me, but i ended up paying hefty fine for defamation

Who is this guy and how credible is this information? If you really have a legitimate complaint why don't you walk to the authorities and file a legal suit against the person you claim has taken your 50, 000 dollars? You listed the contact details. Why not take the authorities there if indeed you have a credible case? Unless of course you doubt the truth of your claims and want to hide behind a computer keyboard to blackmail some unsuspecting person.

I have to give the benefit of doubt the person you claim has scammed you because you have not even told us who and what you are, no details of your company and offices, telephone contacts, website of your company what you do. We can then judge who is telling the truth.

Obviously I have a genuine complaint. I have amended my above post with proof of payment to the scammers, as I am sure you are aware legal cases are pricey and in some countries as a foreigner it may proof very difficult to prove a team of scamming lawyers wrong, but that does not mean, that I am not pursuing all channels available. Thank you very much for your advice.

Let be know that this complainant is regular scammer who always threatens and swindles unsuspecting sellers especially in Gold and diamond business, He poses as potential buyer claims to have well moneyed investors from the middle east, but at the end of the day he comes demanding for hefty commission which was not agreed on the initial contract and threatens to put your business on scam lists. He is a total black mailer and should be apprehended.

Very interesting that you say that, when I have never sold or bought any diamonds and this is IN FACT the first gold deal I attempted to do, and other people who are coming forward have also been robbed some for the first time also, they pray on innocent victims . If fifty thousand dollars of your hard earned money vanishes, without a trace, as all my evidence proves, perhaps you would have something to say... or perhaps you are a worker for the scammers yourself mmmmmm... Don't have to be Einstein to work out who's telling the truth - read the facts!
