Dishonest owner
I entered an agreement with Hearts Group Inc., to ship two vehicles to Nigeria and Togo for $3000 respectively in June, 2009. Hearts Group owner Charles Obi with whom I have used/dealt with in the past to ship a number of vehicles to Nigeria became more than a shipping company owner but someone I thought I can trust with my money. I had loaned Charles Obi $2000 in Nigeria and when I had to ship two vehicles he was charging $3000 to ship, he informed me that he will apply the outstanding loan $2000 towards my payment. I paid the balance of $1000 immediately to expedite shipment. I waited several weeks for the bill of lading to be delivered to me as Charles Obi had gone to Nigeria and was not easily reached after several attempts. Charles Obi finally contacted me after several weeks had gone by with my shipment at the various ports accumulating charges totaling $1000 and no bill of lading on hand as I was informed that there was a need for me to help settle outstanding bill with the shipping company that Heart Groups owed to release the bill of lading. Charles Obi requested that I transfer $1900 on August, 21 2010 as a loan/debt to him to the shipping company account with Wachovia Bank to avoid continue ports charges that may result to possible forfeiture of the shipment. I trusted Charles Obi as I had loaned or gave him money in the past and I complied immediately paid $1900 into the designated account. I have since tried to using various means possible to collect my money from Charles Obi and his company Hearts Group Inc., but failed. It is unfortunate that I got myself into this situation. The rest world needs to know about this company and its owner to avoid becoming a victim like me.
