Complaint Review: KOLAWOLE A OGUNNAIKE - Dr. Kola

IN JULY OF 2009 I MET THIS AFRICAN MAN AT MY AUTO REPAIR SHOP WHO
PRESENTED HIM SELF AS A REAL ESTATE AGENT/LOAN OFFICER. HE EXPRESSED TO
ME THAT HE COULD HELP ME BUY A HOUSE. I AGREED TO ALLOW HIM TO HELP ME
BY A HOUSE. ON AUGUST 5TH HE TOLD ME THAT HE NEEDED A CASHIERS CHECK
WROTE OUT TO HIS COMPANY, IN THE AMOUNT OF $1000.00 DOLLARS TO SHOW AS
EARNEST MONEY TO USE IT TO MAKE OFFERS ON PROPERTIES ONLY. BEFORE I
GAVE HIM THE CASHIERS CHECK HE WAS VERY MOTIVATED. A DAY AFTER I GAVE
HIM THE CASHIERS CHECK, HE STARTED TO BE SHORT AND NOT VERY INTERESTED
IN HELPING TO MAKE OFFERS ON PROPERTIES. I STARTED TO GET VERY
SUSPICIOUS, AND DID A BACKGROUND CHECK ON THE HIS COMPANIES, "FIRST
REALTY PROFESSIONALS INC." AND "FIRST SECURITY FINANCIAL RESOURCES" AND
FOUND OUT THAT NEITHER DR. KOLA NOR HIS COMPANIES ARE LICENSED UNDER
THE DEPARTMENT OF REAL ESTATE IN CALIFORNIA. AND ON AUGUST 13TH I
CHECKED WITH MY BANK AND FOUND OUT THAT HE(DR.KOLA) CASHED THE CASHIERS
CHECK ON AUGUST 11TH. ON AUGUST 14TH, 2009 AT 4:30PM I CONFRONTED HIM
AT HIS OFFICE LOCATION AND TOLD HIM THAT I DID NOT WANT TO WORK WITH
HIM ANY MORE. I ASKED FOR MY CASHIERS CHECK BACK. THEN HE TELLS ME THAT
THE CASHIERS CHECK WAS DEPOSITED IN HIS COMPANIES BANK ACCOUNT. I TOLD
HIM THAT I HAVE PROOF FROM MY BANK THAT THE CASHIERS CHECK WAS CASHED.
THEN HE TELLS ME THAT HIS BROKER CAN WRITE ME OUT A CHECK BUT HE WOULD
NOT BE AT THE OFFICE FOR ANOTHER 30 MINUTES. 30 MINUTES LATER DR. KOLA
HAS ME SPEAK TO SOMEONE ON HIS CELL PHONE PRETENDING TO BE THE
BROKER(MOHAMED SAIFUL ISLAM). I ONLY KNOW THIS BECAUSE I MET MOHAMED
SAIFUL ISLAM A FEW WEEKS AGO WHO HAS AN ACCENT. THE PERSON I WAS
SPEAKING WITH OVER THE PHONE HAD NO ACCENT. AND ON THE CELL PHONE
DISPLAY IT SHOWED A NAME OF DR. MORRIS. THIS GUY WHO WAS PRETENDING TO
BE THE BROKER PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT HE WAS OUT OF TOWN AND COULD
NOT MAKE IT IN BY MONDAY TO GIVE ME MY MONEY. I SAID SURE, I KNOW
YOU'RE NOT REALLY THE BROKER, MOHAMED SAIFUL ISLAM, YOUR NAME IS DR.
MORRIS AS IT DISPLAYS ON THE CELL PHONE. I HUNG UP ON HIM AND TOLD DR.
KOLA AND TOLD HIM THAT WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG, MISLEADING AND DEFRAUDING
ME. AT THAT MOMENT I CALLED THE POLICE AND WHEN THEY ARRIVED AT THE
LOCATION I TOLD THE OFFICER WHAT THE CON ARTIST DID TO ME. THE OFFICER
EXPRESSED TO ME THAT THE WAY DR. KOLA TOOK MY MONEY WAS TECHNICALLY
CONSIDER CIVIL MATTER AND THAT ALL I COULD DO IS FILE A LAW SUIT. MY
MOTHER WAS WORKING WITH DR. KOLA AS WELL IN DOING A SHORT SALE ON HER
HOUSE. DR. KOLA TOLD MY MOTHER THAT IN ORDER FOR THE SHORT SALE LENDER
TO APPROVE THE SHORT SALE, THE LENDER IS REQUIRING HER TO MAKE TWO BACK
PAYMENTS THAT WERE BEHIND FOR A TOTAL OF $5000. MY MOTHER TOLD DR. KOLA
THAT SHE ONLY HAD $2500 DOLLARS. DR. KOLA TOLD MY MOTHER TO MAKE
CASHIERS CHECK $2500 DOLLARS WROTE OUT TO HIS COMPANY'S NAME, FIRST
REALTY PROFESSIONALS INC. A WEEK LATER SHE CALLED THE SHORT SALE LENDER
TO CONFIRM THAT THEY HAD RECEIVED THE $2500 DOLLARS. THE LENDER
EXPRESSED TO HER THAT THEY NEVER REQUESTED NOR REQUIRED ANY BACK
PAYMENTS FROM HER. THAT IT WAS A COMPLETE LIE. THEN MY MOTHER WENT TO
THE HER BANK AND FOUND OUT THAT THE CASHIERS CHECK WAS CASHED. SHE
LATER CONFRONTED DR. KOLA ABOUT WHAT HE DID AND HE FLAT OUT DENIED THAT
HE POCKETED HER $2500 DOLLARS. NOW WE MUST SUE!
