Complaint Review: Ibrahim Hitimana -

Fake Diamond and Gold Criminals in Africa. These are organized criminals that work together to fraud foreign buyers and investors. They use fake product for show and tell with the buyers in country. They will ask for money up front to go get the product after showing you a small sample. They then run you around the country and even have you go to other nearby countries to receive the product.  This is all a scam and everyone from the sellers to the licensed companies and even the government custom officers and export offices received payments to export the goods. They took our money and then came up with many excuses why the shipment was not ready. They will tell you not to go to the customs office, not to go to the police, or your local embassy.  These are true con men that will run you in circles until you leave out of frustration. They will have a local work with you and pretend to be your friend. But they are all working for the same goal to take your money.   If anyone in Tanzania offers gold at a large discount it is not real. Locals can sell their gold in Dar Es Salaam for the same price they sell in Dubai or Europe. Its a scam. Also any gold from the Congo in Tanzania is Illegal to export. They criminals and sellers rent the seized goods from the local authorities and show it to you to pay the local taxes and fees. You will never take the gold out! We lost over 100,000 USD to this scam and we have exported all over Africa and know what we are doing. But when the government export offices are involved you are screwed!  Diamonds are a scam from these people also. They are synthetic diamonds and not real. You can not export diamonds from Kenya as they have no Kimberly Office. So do not even look at them. Another scam is to get you to break the law unknowingly and have the police come and you have to pay a bribe to stay out of trouble. If you fly into Tanzania to do any gold or diamond business make sure you have the proper WORK VISA to do so. Also have a temporary license from a real local export company.   Tanzania and Kenya Governments are loosing millions in export dollars yearly to these criminals. And the Governments are doing nothing about it. Some have even told us the Government Officials are in on the scams and that is why we cant fight them. And its big business in these countries to scam outsiders. I have heard them say its their right to take the money from Outsiders and they try and justify their actions to each other.  We lost allot of money and time with these groups. They are connected to the local police and government to keep themselves safe. There is real product there but the thieves will not let it go out. STAY OUT! there are a lot of African countries that want to do real business and will not take your money. I have submitted these criminals names to Interpol and every buyer in Dubai, Belgium and India. Stay away from these Low Life Scum and Thief's.
