Constance and her partner had also dabbled in joint investments, when she had given significant sums of money to buy houses and land for their future together.

But as time went on and her partner did not show her any proof of the promised investments, Constance began to have her doubts.


She asked him questions, but he avoided answering them, which made her worries worse.

A month before their intended wedding, her boyfriend started acting strangely and finally stopped communicating, which was when things took a dramatic turn.

Constance confided in Afrimax about her terrifying encounter, admitting to her initial gullibility and belief in her boyfriend’s words.

In her words;

“I used to live in south Africa where i owned a thriving business for 3years i was in love with a man who was also my business partner … I sent him a large amount of money and he pretended that he was actually investing properties as we had discussed when the time came for me to return home to my country, I was looking forward to our wedding, we visited both of our families but whenever i asked him about the progress and what he had accomplished with the money, he resisted showing me.

“Since in trusted him, i was so naive and didn’t worry too much at the time, however one month before our planned wedding h started acting strangely.”

“He then texted me on Facebook saying he was imprisoned, I looked into it deeply and realized it was just a hoax, he was never actually taken to prison it made no sense to me, All i could do was to inform our families that my partner had disappeared though it isn’t clear… After around 2 months, the man texted me again and said he was in ivory coast i couldn’t believe what was going on and i just responded “Okay” 

 “It’s been extremely difficult to bear but i will never give up, I’m still working hard and striving to be self reliant, i had known him for a very long time even before we fell in love and in our culture, i felt marrying someone familiar would be ideal but that dream never became reality, he used to show me pictures of cows, farms, houses and fancy cars just to deceive me into sending him more money but that will never stop me from continuing to work hard and achieve my goals.”
