Hello Laila,
My story started with a call from a friend of mine about a modelling job and a contract with Glo, she convinced me that it was real and i decided to go for it. she gave me the number of a "top model, sandra", who claimed to be a top model @ modela couture/gold models/model launcher.
i spoke with her and she assured me of the authenticity of the contract and sounded so nice and reliable. i know that was so foolish of me, working with someone i hadnt and may not even ever meet. i decided to give it a try.
so i went over to start up d registration, which my friend started before me. i met with d agent by name Ashbry, who told me i had to pay some amount of money to start up my web page and portfolio.
i was led like a lamb to the slaughter, no worries, bcos i was foolish and blind to see the lies.
i paid money for the web page (N4200), portfolio (N18700), costume(N39800),
payslip (N22000), you can do the math to sum it all. then i was told that my pictures had high comments from within and outside the country.
i was told i had to take a strip photo to test skin tones abi na texture, and at that time, the agent guy made me have sex with him.
When i thought it was all over that i would get my pay and move over to lagos n meet wit sandra who called me every now and then to know about d progress. i was told that my profile status was low that i needed three girls at least under me.
Really i did nt get that part well and my friend told me that it was like networking, i said ok. when i got two of my friends in, they started up but had money issues to continue. I had to rally round some money to help them, not knowing that Ashbry didn't complete their registration cause they refused to spend the night with him and he didn't tell me. As for the 3rd girl, they claimed to find one who had money to fund herself.
As i waited for pay day, i was called by d ashbry dt sandra slumped on hearing that the directors rejected 2 persons under me. that i had to begin looking for 4 more to make up (as per he don c atm machine na).
When i would not find any more girls under me, Ashbry claimed to have found the gals and sandra told me that the girls had money issues and asked if i could help. i could not do much. and again when ashbry called that there was a director that would help and only needed five thousand to do everything ok. At this point i wondered, and searched online about each of the agencies sandra claimed to work with.
Everything seemed ok but for the fact that these agencies were in different parts of the world, so I and my friend decided to try them all together and that was when we saw the same story about a girl that had gone through same ordeal, same names used by the acclaimed agent. Only that Sandra used another name there as Sharon (wots wit d "s").
Am still trying to get over it but it has not been easy and I pray for the grace of God to forgive them for myself. I had borrowed all these money I gave these thieves from virtually everybody on my street - friends, neighbours and boyfriends. They are all on my neck for their money.
At a point when one of my friends was asked to pay more money, she told them she didnt have. All the guys she had asked for money told her she will have to sleep with them. You wont believe that when she told Ashbury that the men were asking for sex, he told her that she has to go ahead and do whatever she has to do to get the money.From Laila:
This is an organized crime. This Ashbury and Sandra aka Sharon are getting bolder by the day and hitting more and more victims. They are making so much money and molesting so many unsuspecting young girls. Keeping their nude photos so these girls can't even raise alarm or go to the police cos they are afraid he will release their nudes. This is evil blackmail.
A fourth and fifth victim were supposed to send me their stories but they can't cos they can't bear the shame, cant forgive themselves. I was told one of them even slept with him without protection. So she's very depressed.
You can imagine how many more victims that are out there. This guy and lady have to be caught and paraded. If you can help us with how to get this evil duo arested and stopped, please contact me - Lailasblog@gmail.com. Please!
