We had dated for eight months. Throughout that time, I noticed he always wanted to buy something, sell it, and later sell something else for double the price. I suggested he add buying and selling to his regular job, and he told me he would consider it.

Today he would post a wig on his status, and tomorrow it would be a dress. He even sold some clothes to me. He said they belonged to his sister, who was working in Accra. One day he told me he had considered my suggestion and wanted to start buying and selling just like his sister was doing, but he needed a loan.

I said, “Then why don’t we partner and do it? I’ll give you half of what you require, and then we can become partners. By the time we get married, this business might have grown wings.”

He agreed, and I gave him GHC8,000 first and later another GHC7,000. He said he was importing the goods from China.

Three months later, nothing.

Six months later, still nothing.

Anytime I made inquiries about it, he got angry and called me impatient.

One day, I went through his phone. The woman he said was his sister was actually his girlfriend. He had invested the money I gave him into the woman’s business, and she had traveled to Dubai, saying she wasn’t coming back. They had been fighting, and my boyfriend had even threatened her with curses.

I showed him the screenshots I had taken, and he couldn’t say anything. He can’t pay me my money because he can’t recover it from his girlfriend.

I Called My Girlfriend And Another Man Answered The Phone

The matter is currently with the police. When he sees me, he runs. When the police call him, he doesn’t answer.

I went to his house, changed the locks, and now he’s the one pursuing me to give him the keys to his room. If he changes the locks ten times, I’ll change them eleven times until he pays me my money.
