Who Is Femi (Olufemi) Agunbiade

After being outed as an alleged* scammer and fraudster, I decided to dig a little deeper into just who Femi Agunbiade is. When you google his name, nothing suspicious pops up - or so it seems. Sadly, I didn't document everything in time and some pages have since been removed from the web, but here is everything I could find.

July 2018 UPDATE: While evading arrest in Toronto for multiple counts of real estate fraud, he was busy launching a new blog and website. It looks like Femi is back up to his old tricks, he is now claiming to be a consultant for realtors looking to make more money. The Closers Consultant

Alleged* Scammer Femi Agunbiade has started a new business



The first result is AG7 Media, an internet marketing company owned by Femi Agunbiade and his brother Jide Agunbiade.

AG7Media in Google
Everything looks normal here, however the address listed for the building isn't correct. While the building does exist, there is no (nor has there ever been) a unit for AG7Media. Nor does Femi or Jide rent any portion of the building.

AG7 Media's Homepage
AG7 Media claims to be a digital marketing company, that will help increase traffic to your business related website. A really great way to increase organic traffic to your website is to get caught defrauding people of thousands of dollars... But I don't think that's what they meant here.

Femi's Page on AG7Media
Femi claims he is a "Google Partner". However, his website doesn't show the Google Partner logo. So while he may have signed up with Google's Partnership program, he didn't meet the qualifications. There is also no way to validate any of his business claims, but we'll get to that next.

Testimonials from AG7Media
There is a long list of Testimonials from many individuals on AG7Media's website. However, the majority of them seem to be fake reviews. The images and names are real, but they belong to people who likely have no idea who Femi is, nor have they ever worked with him. They range from people in Italy, the UK and the USA. I have messaged several (who still have active social media pages) but no response.


The second result is the LinkedIn page for Femi Agunbiade.

Femi's Linked In Profile
Shortly after the Global News segment went live, Femi's LinkedIn profile was deactivated. He links to this one directly from his website, but when you click the link this is the page you are greeted with.


Global News Report

Femi's Instagram page
Next up is Femi's personal Instagram page. It has only been active for a year, and is filled with images stolen from the internet of luxury watches, cars and mansions. None of the photos posted are his own. Notice how he only follows 3 people, but has a following of almost 5000? His posts get approximately 100 likes and average 20 comments each. But when you look closer...

Every photo is filled with comments like this
Every posting is filled with generic comments and the fire emoji is prevalent. It is the same story for each of the postings he's made. The high followers but low interaction numbers indicate that Femi has bought fake followers from a clickfarm to artificially boost his follow count.

Google Results for AG7 Global

Finally, Femi claims he and his brother also own AG7Global. A real estate investment firm that claims to have helped dozens of projects in Toronto and in Texas. However, this also seems suspicious. It's the same story as AG7Media regarding the fake address. But for "Toronto's #1 rated investment company" that 2.3 star review is comical.

The Google Reviews

The only reviews are from victims of Femi's rental scam, along with a random review from "George Frega" who has only ever made the one review and also appears to be a fake account. For a claimed multi-million dollar investment firm with dozens of successful projects you would expect to see more reviews.



That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to AG7Global, since the post was getting a bit long I decided to do a dedicated post to just the company itself. You can see that here: AG7Global

  1. Hi Kellie,

    Are you able to point me in the direction of someone who can help me get my money back from these scumbags, Femi and Jide?

    1. Unfortunately, from what I've heard - they fled the city. PLEASE make a report to the police division I mentioned in my post. They need all the victims to come forward so they can prosecute Femi/Jide to the fullest extent.

  2. This is so sad. A great pity I'm sharing name with a scumbag and a fraudster! A desecrator of a great name.
    Hope he's caught.
