Popular celebrity Diana Marua, the wife of artist Bahati unearth a scam that has swindled Millions from investors. Diana has been promoting LIMAVEST by Shicco Waweru and Waweru Kuria.
LIMAVEST had approached many influencers to sell their products including Lands, Pipenapple farming and beekeeping.
The company also approached Henry Desagu another top influencer in Kenya.
On 9th March, the influencers revealed how they did not do due diligence to understand that Shicco and Waweru were just scamming people. However, after understanding that they were just after money and nothing on the ground, Diana took the mantle to expose the LIMAVEST scam.
On her social media handles, Diana Marua stated, “I would like to say this is one of the hardest posts I have ever written. I have thought about it and this is after a few months of trying to get a Solution.
“Waweru Kuria and Shicco Waweru 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 popularise 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 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.
“Before 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 Shicco Waweru Told her to go to Court! How rude! That is When I realised that LIMAVEST was not genuine.
“I immediately decided to stop 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🥺
“I did not want to think that I have been used to mislead any of my innocent followers to investing in a Scam. As of today Waweru Kuria and his wife Shicco Waweru have blocked all calls from this specific client #Jennifer who is now crying out to me to ensure that her money is refunded.
“My team and I will do our best professionally and legally to make sure whoever has been conned is compensated. My apologies to Jennifer for what you are going through 🙏… Let me take this opportunity to State that; I Diana Marua am no Longer working with Limavest, Waweru or Shicco and I wish to distânce Myself from this malicious act and any association with LIMAVEST.
“My dear followers please note that any land purchase, you engage yourself with them will be at your own risk. Thank You and May God Bless you all for your continued support, ” Diana said.
