Mr. Bigman Eluojo Onwudinjo of Gallant Networks Int’l Limited review: Service paid for was not delivered.

COMPLAINT AGAINST MR. BIGMAN ELUOJO ONWUDINJO OF GALLANT NETWORKS INT’L LIMITED AND DEMAND FOR A REFUND OF OUR US$30,000.00 & A PENALTY OF US$20,000.00. BY SOLOMOM SUNRISE CREATIONS TECHNOLOGIES LTD.

On 12th of August 2023, we, Solomon Sunrise Creations Technologies Limited paid US$30,000.00 (Thirty Thousand United States Dollars) to Mr. Bigman Eluojo Onwudinjo of Gallant Networks Int’l Limited to procure for us US$2m Advance Payment Guarantee (APG). He Mr. Onwudinjo claimed he is able to procure dollar denominated financial instruments including advance payment guarantees from his international network of financiers. (Document marked 1.)
The agreed procedure was to include that the APG issuing bank will copy our company that paid for the service, along with the Provider against whose account the APG is drawn, the beneficiary company, Shandong Guoshi Energy Company Limited, Qingdao, China, and the company’s receiving bank, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank (SPDB). (Document marked 2.)
Mr. Onwudinjo gave details of the Provider as Strabag AG represented by Dr. Marion Henschel as the M.D of the company. The issuing bank was given as Deutsche Bank, Frankfurt, Germany. (Document marked 2.)
Then on 25th August, 2023, Mr. Onwudinjo sent us a copy of the purported APG SWIFT message with the name of Olivier Vigneron – Chief Risk Officer with Deutsche Bank as the one that signed the document. He, Mr. Onwudinjo asked us to get in touch with Shandong Guoshi Energy Company to reach their bank, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, that the APG was already in the SWIFT system. He also sent us a purported SWIFT acknowledgment copy (Document marked 3.) and then on 28th August, 2023, he sent us copies of a purported acknowledgment from SPDB and a SWIFT tracer. (Document marked 6.)
When asked why we were not copied in the email directly from Deutsche Bank when the bank sent the SWIFT APG to SPDB and the Provider, Dr. Marion Henschel, who should be in possession of copy of the instrument issued against her account, Mr. Onwudinjo claimed that Deutsche Bank could not reach our emails. He then sent us a screenshot of the email addresses that were supposed to receive the email from Stuart Lewis stuart.[protected]@db.com (who at that time was no more an employee of Deutsche Bank) (Document marked 4.) and that the mail sent to SPDB was delivered. (Document marked 5.). In effect we never got any correspondence/copy mail from the so-called Dr. Marion Henschel of Strabag AG or from Deutsche Bank, the issuing bank. All we received were from Mr. Onwudinjo himself.
At the China end, SPD Bank told their customer, Shandong Guoshi Energy Company not to bother them anymore as the so-called acknowledgment from them was fake and the tracer was also fake. (Document marked 7.) and that there was no cash backed APG anywhere within the SWIFT system against which Shandong Guoshi Energy Company could transact. This was already as of 7th September, 2023.
Again, we asked Mr. Onwudinjo to get his financial instrument ‘Provider’ and Deutsche Bank to forward the originating mails to us, he refused, that he had already made available all documents to show that an APG had been issued. He tried to shift the burden of proof on us, Shandong Guoshi Energy Company, and Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, that the bank should respond to the received email, for which indeed there was no mail.
It turns out that the purported sender of the email stuart.[protected]@db.com from Deutsche Bank, Stuart Lewis, had left the bank in May 2022.
There was no advance payment guarantee. There was no Provider. There was no dealing with Deutsche Bank. Shanghai Pudong Development Bank did not receive any email from Deutsche Bank. All the documents sent by Mr. Onwudinjo of Gallant Network Int’l Ltd were manufactured by him and fake (Document marked 8.) and he only collected our money as a fraudster and scammer.
We therefore ask that Mr. Onwudinjo refunds our US$30,000 paid to him for the APG, plus US$20,000 for his default in line with the deed of agreement signed. (Document marked 2: pg 3 – force majeure.). It should be noted too that in the same deed of agreement (Document marked 2.), no. 5 on page 2 of the procedure could not be enforced by Mr. Onwudinjo because there was no APG in the first place.
On 5th November, 2023, we wrote to Mr. Onwudinjo to refund our US$30,000 and pay the agreed penalty of US$20,000 to make a total of US$50,000 (Document marked 9.) He responded with a long winding letter on 16th November 2023 (Document marked 10.), to which we responded on 20th November, 2023 (Document marked 11.).
We stated the fact that as of that date, the so-called APG was non-existent and the transaction which as at that date was not done, was eventually cancelled. We maintained that all the documents bandied by Mr. Onwudinjo were generated from his own end. Shanghai Pudong Development Bank did not receive any email or APG SWIFT of US$2.0m, so they did not bother to answer any enquiries. Stuart Lewis from whose desk the email was purportedly sent had left the bank over a year earlier in May 2022. Even the barcode on the tracer was fake.
There are other indications that the entire transaction as packaged by Mr. Onwudinjo was totally a scam meant to defraud us. We therefore demand that he pays us our US$30,000 plus US$20,000 as penalty.
Please find attached the documents referred to in this complaint.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
For: Solomon Sunrise Creations Technologies Limited.
