Two Gambian women who live in Sweden have been named in a tie-dye fabric scam.
The women whose names are withheld for now allegedly duped African fabric Gambian businesswoman 14 pieces of the ‘Thiob’ tie-dye fabric costing up to $3,000.
One of the women got in touch with the businesswoman over a month ago and told her she is interested in her fabric. She later told the businesswoman her friend is also interested in the fabric. Both later signed papers of receiving the fabric after it got delivered by DHL.
However, the owner of the fabric later got a notification that the women who were supposed to pay with their credit cards filed a claim with their banks saying they did not purchase anything. The women have since black-listed the businesswoman.
“I have not been able to be in contact with any of them,” Basen Jobe, the businesswoman told The Fatu Network.
Attempts to reach the women proved futile.
Jobe’s Dakar-based BelleAfricCreation helps Africans who live in Europe and elsewhere and need African clothing. Customers usually purchase the material online and it gets shipped to them.
