Update To The Toronto Condo Scam: Westlake Condos Etobicoke

This is an update to my original blog post about the Toronto Condo Scam at Westlake Condos in Etobicoke. Please read that article here if you are unfamiliar with the story.

After multiple victims reported their experience with attempting to rent a condo in the Westlake Condos complex in Etobicoke from Femi Agunbiade and/or Jide Agunbiade , a province wide warrant was released for the brothers.

In July 2018, Femi Agunbiade was arrested at Pearson Airport after attempting to re-enter the country. He was granted bail at the cost of $10,000. Femi paid half of that himself, and has two names listed as sureties, his girlfriend and another individual. (A surety is an individual who promises to the judge they will supervise the accused while they are out on bail, they are also responsible for a portion of the bail funds.)

Once again, if you had any interaction with the brothers - regarding renting the condos or any other business venture including AG7Media and AG7Global, please contact the Toronto Regional Police Department. The case is under Division 22's jurisdiction. You can reach them by phone at 416-808-2200 or in person at 3699 Bloor St. West, Toronto, ON.


He currently has a restraining order against him, mandating he remains no less than 500m from the condo complex where the  alleged* rental scam took place.

Femi currently faces the following charges:

TEN counts of Fraud Under $5,000 Section 380 (1) (b)
ONE count of Fraud Over $5,000 Section 380 (1) (a)
FOUR counts of Theft Under $5,000 Section 334 (b)
ONE count of Theft Over $5,000 Section 334 (a)
Totalling SIXTEEN criminal charges in all.


Each Theft charge under $5,000 is a summary offense, with a maximum sentence of 6 months of jail or a $5,000 fine.
Each Theft charge over $5,000 is an indictable offense, with a maximum sentence of 10 years in jail.

Each Fraud charge under $5,000 is a summary offense, with a maximum sentence of 6 months in jail or a $5,000 fine.
Each Fraud charge over $5,000 is an indictable offense, with a maximum of 2 years in jail.

Sadaria Davis: A Tragic Death turned Clickbait Case

In this article I aim to educate the general public on the truth behind Sadaria Davis's case, and dispel the fake rumours going around about her. Her death was tragic enough as is, without the addition of clickbait fake news articles and perpetuating rumours without fact-checking.

Backstory:

Sadaria Davis, a 15 year old girl from Chicago went missing on April 25th after being seen for the last time leaving her house. The case made local news, but after no real leads were given to police the case quickly died, as did the media coverage. The case didn't remain silent for long as only a few weeks later the body of Sadaria Davis was found within a vacant apartment building that had been abandoned for a while. The apartment was only 6 blocks away from her home where she was last seen. Local police reported there was no "immediate cause of death available", which could've been due to several factors. The most likely being that decomposition had begun to set in (the weather has been very warm in Chicago) and made an obvious COD hard if not impossible to determine. No autopsy results were made public, however it has been said that the results were inconclusive. Once again, the story only made local news.


Where the rumors began:
A little while after the news broke, the case started to gain traction online when a Twitter user named "KingPowell19973" posted the following tweet.

KingPowell19973's twitter feed is full of Chicago crime stories, including the controversial and confusing cases of Kendrick Johnson (who was found dead in a high school gym mat) and Kenneka Jenkins (who was found dead in a hotel freezer the day after a party within the hotel).

Small online news agencies ran with the tweet, misquoting that Sadaria Davis was found missing not only her fingers but organs as well. People began making youtube videos claiming she was a victim of human organ trafficking. A classic case of clickbait, that sparked a flurry of people sharing those articles and claiming them as the truth. Almost every single article about Sadaria Davis I found on Facebook had someone commenting on how "Mainstream Media is covering up the fact that she was found without organs!!".

The lack of official news coverage lends itself to people finding out about Sadaria's case through social media or word of mouth. However, this can be quite dangerous when the social media story has been altered to be more shocking or share-worthy than the truth.

There have also been niche blogs/articles written with the idea that Davis, along with Kenneka were victims of cult-groups like the Freemasons, among others. That's a whole other can of worms I don't care to get into because they are irrelevant to the truth.


An end to the rumors:

An officer assigned to the case took to his personal Facebook account to reassure people that Sadaria was found with all her body parts intact, and the "missing fingers" rumour was started because Sadaria was actually born missing a finger.

I have censored the commenters names for sake of privacy, but the article they commented on is public. The blue text is from the initial commenter, as well as people replying to his comment. The green text is from an Officer who identified himself as a member of the investigation.



Blue text showing the missing organs claim
Green text is from the officer on the case



Blue Text is random commenters
Green text is the officer on the case

Blue text is random commenters
Green text is the officer on the case

So there you have it. Sadaria Davis was NOT missing any organs, she was NOT missing any fingers (that she was born with), and she was NOT a victim of organ trafficking. Please stop spreading the lies, as I can only imagine what her family must be going through right now without the addition of false information.

Investigating AG7Global

AG7Global is owned by alleged* fraudster Femi Agunbiade, I have mentioned him before on my blog in both Femi's Rental Scam and Who Is Femi. As well as his brother Jide Agunbiade. (They also go by Olufemi Agunbiade and Olajide Agunbide). I intended to post this along with one of those former postings but as I fell deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole that is AG7Global, I felt it deserved a dedicated post.

First off, when you google AG7Global this is what you get. For a company that claims to be "Toronto's #1 Investment Company" that 2.3 star review is pitiful.

The Google Reviews for AG7Global

 When you look into the reviews you find that there's 2 one star reviews that appear to be from victims of Femi's rental scam. There is also a 5 star review left by a "George Farga", which appears to be a fake account since it has had no activity either before or after leaving this review.

AG7Global's homepage

AG7Global claims to have a "Proven Track Record" and tries to prove that claim with images of lavish homes, along with the amount of money invested and what their return on investment was. They also say these are projects from 2016. However when you reverse image search the images provided you are given a different story. (Note: Some of the photos appear to have no internet trace aside from AG7Global's website itself.)

The photo of the house in the middle as seen above, is actually stolen from a real estate listing from 2017, as seen below.

This quickly becomes a trend, with almost all of the images being stolen from real estate listings online. No mention of AG7Global, or Femi / Jide Agunbiade. 

AG7Global stole this from Realtor Paul Nusca

AG7Global stole this from Lovvett Homes Realty

Often times the amount AG7Global claims to have invested into the project, is just slightly below what the home sold for. In the above example they claim to have invested $959,000 - but the house only sold for $999,999. When you factor in taxes and real estate fees you're looking at a very slim profit. 

Last but not least, this strange looking project AG7Global claims to have funded...

The two on the sides have no internet presence I could find, however the one in the middle...

A quick reverse image search brings up multiple mentions of the creative project, none of which mention AG7Global, or Femi Agunbiade, or Jide Agunbiade.

It was designed by Batay-Csorba Architects, in collaboration with some other groups... None of them being AG7Global. Despite not being funded by the fraudulent company that is AG7Global, it is a very cool project and you can read more about it: Here

Overall, it seems that everything Femi Agunbiade and Jide Agunbiade have to their names online is part of an elaborate scam. Hopefully this serves as a reminder to always do your thorough research on anybody you plan to give your money to. Things aren't always what they appear to be on surface level. 

Once again, if you have been involved in any of the scams Femi Agunbiade and Jide Agunbiade have been running please contact Toronto Police, Division 22. Phone: 416-808-2200 or in person at 3699 Bloor St. W, Toronto, ON.

UPDATE: As of December 12th 2017, AG7Global's website has been deactivated.

SECOND UPDATE: As of January 28th, Google has removed AG7Global AND AG7Media as business locations from search results.

JULY 2018 Update:

I was doing some more browsing and came across an article from "DigitalJournal" claiming to be a Press Release, promoting AG7Global.

AG7Global Press Release part 1
*Credit due to WaybackMachine

AG7Global Press Release part 2
*Credit due to WaybackMachine

AG7Global Press Release part 3
*Credit due to WaybackMachine

I contacted DigitalJournal immediately, asking them if they had done any research into AG7Global before posting the article, and sent them the link to the Global News segment about Femi/Jide's Alleged* Rental Fraud Scam. 

The article was removed within 24 hours, but I never heard back from DigitialJournal regarding my message, or why they removed the post. When you follow the link now you are greeted by the following page. 

The article has been entirely removed from the website

Hence why I went through WaybackMachine to obtain proof of the original posting. 

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

Toronto Condo Scam: Westlake Condos Etobicoke

http://www.condominiumtoronto.com

Like many others across Ontario and beyond, Claire Hay was looking to rent a Condo unit in Toronto. Realizing the pricing was slightly out of her budget, she set her sights upon the Greater Toronto Region. After countless hours browsing rental sites like Kijiji, she finally found a place that seemed perfect. Unit 814 in Westlake Condos, $1300 a month for a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom all inclusive condo with a great view. She booked an appointment to view it immediately.

A video Femi sent to potential renters, featuring a short tour of the condo unit. A female, identified as Femi's girlfriend, Jaclyn Appugliesi can be seen in the kitchen.

Photo of Femi Agunbiade
From his site AG7Media

The day of the condo tour everything seemed great, Claire met a man who introduced himself as Femi Agunbiade, the owner of the condo. She fell in love with the place and was told  if she could eTransfer first and last months payments she could move in the following week. She obliged and eTransfered Femi Agunbiade $2600 that day.

Femi keeping up the Charade via Text

Over the following days everything seemed to be perfect, Femi kept up communication with Claire, claiming to have rented the moving elevator for her and going above and beyond to make her move as seamless as possible. However, things were about to change drastically.

Claire's Facebook Posting

Claire found another advertisement for the very same condominium unit she had already paid for on Kijiji. She had a friend message the poster and it turned out to be Femi Agunbiade, attempting to schedule a viewing for the condo. Claire became suspicious after she was unable to contact Femi over the phone so she showed up at the concierge desk and asked about the unit. Quickly she became aware that Femi Agunbiade was renting the unit himself, and he had no authority to rent the unit out to anyone.

Femi asks for an Apology and removal of the posting

Immediately Claire reached out to a Toronto Renter's Facebook group, asking if anyone else had contact with Femi and/or the specific condo unit.  She never could've predicted what would happen next. Along with a dozen or so messages from people claiming they also had spoken with Femi about renting the very same unit, Femi himself reached out to her and promised to return her money if she would remove the post.

The eTransfer came through minutes after they arranged to meet in person

Luckily, Claire was able to get her money back. However, once she got her money back she filed a fraud report with the Toronto Regional Police. She was notified that a complaint against Femi Agunbiade was made several months ago but nothing came of it due to a lack of evidence. Claire now had evidence to give the officers and help build the case. She also posted the exchange to the Facebook group.

Media outlets started contacting her after seeing her story play out through the Facebook group which has over 100,000 members. The story quickly gained traction and was the top story at 6PM with Global Media.


Global News Report

The media latched onto the story, and thanks to some impressive investigative work it quickly spiraled into a much larger situation than anyone could've predicted. After interviewing Claire as well as a couple other people who claimed they had also had contact with Femi Agunbiade, it was revealed that his brother Jide Agunbiade was also involved in the scam. There were not one but two condo units being used in the scam, one being rented by Femi and the other being rented by Jide, both within the same complex but in different towers.

If you viewed (and/or paid for) the Westlake Condos owned by either Jide or Femi please contact the Toronto Regional Police Department Here The case is under Division 22's jurisdiction, you can contact them by phone: 416-808-2200 or in person at 3699 Bloor St. W, Toronto, ON. The case is being managed by Constable Cornelus Gutter of the Fraud department, and he can be reached directly at cornelus.gutter@torontopolice.ca


It appears as though Femi and Jide are not new to defrauding people of their money, through research I was able to uncover not one but two fraudulent companies run by the brothers. Read more on those here: AG7Media & AG7Global

After the news went public, both Femi and Jide cleared out their storage lockers and skipped town. If you see these men, please don't hesitate to contact police.

July 2018 Update

A warrant was issued and Femi was arrested upon re-entering Canada. He posted bail and a court date will be set. 

Cyntoia Brown: The Clickbait Case

Credit to: www.nashvillescene.com

Recently I've seen a lot of outrage over the life incarceration of Cyntoia Brown, including tweets from Kim Kardashian and Rihanna. The case has taken on a whole new meaning of clickbait, from uneducated reporters and sensationalists looking to make a quick buck. The story being shared online is untrue and biased. Sadly, not many people care to do their own research and would rather believe the small amount of information being spoon-fed to them by these so called "news articles".

If you want to read the full court report from the government of Tenessee, you can do that here: Cyntoia Brown v. State of Tennessee

Otherwise, here is my quick but thorough write up about the case. I have written my own commentary in brackets. Mind you, there are multiple reports out there and some have redacted information  or otherwise biased their report because Cyntoia was a minor (16 years old) when she was charged with the murder of 45 year old Johnny Allen.

Credit to PBS.org

Cyntoia was walking alone when Johnny Allen approached her, he invited her to join him for a meal at a nearby restaurant. She obliged, and got into his truck. Sometime during the meal he propositioned to pay her in exchange for sex, she negotiated that she would be paid $150 in exchange for sexual favors.

Cyntoia and Johnny returned to Johnny's residence, where they proceeded to watch TV and drink alcohol. Whether or not they ultimately had sex was not proven, Cyntoia claims they did not. [I could find no evidence of a DNA test being done to prove sexual activity].

According to Cyntoia's own testimony, they were both in bed when Cyntoia reached into her purse and retrieved a personal handgun from her purse and shot Mr.Allen in the back of the head.

[This is where the case gets murky.]

Cyntoia's claim was that she shot him in self defense when he reached for a gun. However, the crime scene revealed Mr.Allen was laying on his stomach with his hands under his head "like he was asleep".  He had no defense wounds and there was also no weapon found anywhere near him.

[Now, if she had immediately called the police or removed herself from the situation, chances are her self defense claim would've stuck.]

Cyntoia admits to then proceeding to rifle through Johnny Allen's home, taking his cash, wallet, two of his guns and the keys to his truck. She drove the truck away and dumped it in a nearby WalMart parking lot.

At some point [Cyntoia's testimony and the prosecutor disagree on exactly when] Cyntoia returned to the hotel where she was living with her 24 year old Pimp/Boyfriend, where she was arrested a few days later.

Cyntoia was charged as an adult with First Degree Murder, Premeditated Murder and Aggravated Theft. According to Tennessee law, the suggested sentence options for first degree murder are life (15 - 60 years) without parole, or life with parole after 51 years. Cyntoia was 18 when her verdict was determined, so she is eligible for parole at 69 years old.

[Cyntoia had a lengthily police record with former drugs and weapon charges, which is likely why she was given a longer prison sentence.]

Do I think she deserves to spend her entire life in prison? Absolutely not. But do I think she is an "innocent victim of child sex trafficking" like the clickbait articles lead you to believe ?? Absolutely not.

Cyntoia had a terrible childhood, had inept parents [there has been talk of her potentially having fetal alcohol syndrome] who put her into foster care and was left to fend for herself which led her to a life of drugs, alcohol and prostitution. She was likely preyed upon by her 24 year old boyfriend/pimp, and I have sympathy for her. While in Prison, Cyntoia has lived a sober life. She has obtained her GED and has continued to pursue an education.

#WorstFirstDates Two, The 3 C's

#2 - The 3 C's, Clingy, Crazy, Cheap

Sticking to the theme of having a first date be at the local mall, I had arranged a date with a guy for lunch at the food court. I'm there a bit early so I had time to decide what I wanted to eat, and I waited for my date to arrive. Fifteen minutes later he gets there, and we go up to order. I always offer to pay for my own food, but he insisted he cover it so I let him.

I can't remember exactly what I had, I think it was a poutine or something similar - but it was under $5. His meal was easily double what mine cost, which is important to note for later. Anyways, the date went alright, we had a good conversation and the guy was very nice. We chatted for about an hour and then I said I had to go (I actually did have errands to run, so I did need to leave). I walked him to the bus stop and he leaned in for a kiss, which I rejected simply based on the fact that I didn't feel that comfortable with him quite yet.He seemed a bit dejected, but didn't say anything about it.

So I start walking home, now the walk from the mall to my house is only about 10 minutes. It was lightly raining outside so I kept my phone in my pocket while I walked home. When I got inside, I had over 30 text messages from the guy I had just gone on a date with. All of them along the lines of "That was so much fun." "I miss you already." "When can we hang out again?" "You smelled pretty, what kind of perfume is that?". I was a little creeped out, so I ignored his messages - but they kept on coming.

After about an hour of seemingly non-stop texts, I told him I'd had a good time but I didn't really see our relationship continuing. He threw an absolute fit and claimed I wasted his time, and demanded his money back (yes, his $5 or so that he spent on my lunch). I told him if he wanted it back that badly he could come meet me at the mall and I'd gladly refund him. He didn't have a car, so the bus fare would've been about $2.50 or so. Needless to say, I never heard back from him again.

#WorstFirstDates

So there's a twitter tag that's popular right now called "#WorstFirstDates". It was started after Jimmy Fallon (a late night talk show host) asked his twitter followers to tweet to him their worst first date stories. The tweets are a mix of horrifying, funny and just plain odd. Although the majority of them are pretty common, such as "he flirted with another girl", "His pictures were outdated", "He wouldn't shut up about his ex". Which I think have happened to almost every girl who has been on a couple first dates, so I won't include those stories...

But seeing as the entire theme of this blog is to make note of all the cringe-worthy things that have happened to me while online dating, I figured I'd contribute by making a list of all the horrible first dates I've had... Let's begin, shall we?

I thought I'd start off with the very first date I ever had with a man I'd met online... Why I didn't immediately stop after that one, I'm not quite sure.

#1 - Smell 'em Before You See 'em

I was always told to stay rather public when first meeting a guy from online, so I arranged a casual lunch date at the local mall.  The guy showed up early and texted me asking if I was there yet. I was in the middle of shopping, so I asked him if he wanted to wait or to come meet me while I finished up. He offered to come meet me, so I let him know where I was.

Shortly after that, a man walks by looking and smelling like he hadn't washed his clothes or showered in a month. He vaguely resembled the photos on his profile, but I wasn't quite sure if it was him or not so I didn't say anything... Then he noticed me and came over to strike up a conversation.

I try very hard to not be judgemental about peoples personal hygiene habits, but this man was absolutely repulsive. I politely finished up shopping then we went to have lunch at the food court. I offered to pay for myself, and ordered the smallest serving of french fries I thought I could choke down... I could barely eat, though. Everything about this guy just seemed dirty, his hair, his breath, his clothes... It was disgusting.

Beyond his appearance though he just seemed like a really dull person. He wasn't as interesting as he seemed over messages, and he had a hard time carrying on a conversation without going off on some tangent about something entirely unrelated.

Anyways, after lunch was over I excused myself and said I had to go home to study for an upcoming test. When I got home I deleted his number and all his messages. He still occasionally checks my profile, which is super awkward. But he never messages me anymore. That was one of the worst first dates I've ever had...

If you'd like to read more of my worst first dates, check out the links below. Since there have been quite a few memorable (for all the wrong reasons) first dates. I will continue to update this post if (more like when...) I have more bad first dates.

#2 - The 3 C's: Crazy, Clingy, Cheap

First Messages

It seems like most (not all, but most) people don't know how to initiate an actual conversation. Seriously, a simple "hey" / "hello " / "sup" / etc doesn't give me much to go on. Especially when it's the first and only message between us. If you're going to message me, at least try and put some effort into it.

Just to use a cheesy fishing example (like you didn't see this coming...) you wouldn't cast a bare hook, right? Well, hopefully you wouldn't. No, you want to add some bait onto that hook. The bait is what will attract the fish to bite. So in this context, the message is the hook, and the text within the message is the bait. A simple "hey" isn't suitable bait, you want something with a bit of meat.

It's not that hard, honestly. Ask a question, go back to your "Coke or Pepsi?" days. Make a comment about something mentioned on the profile, such as a location in a photo or a TV show they mention watching. It can be absolutely anything, but try and make your first message engaging.

Nine times out of ten I will just immediately delete a message if it makes no effort to initiate an actual conversation beyond a "hey". But if you make the smallest effort to prove you browsed my profile, read a section or two and still had interest in chatting with me - I'll return the favor.

If you still aren't sure how to start a conversation with a stranger over social media or dating sites, check out this video.

Plenty Of Piranhas: An Introduction

Hello there,

Welcome to PlentyOfPiranhas, a blog where I put the "Piranhas" of online dating sites to shame. All these screenshots come directly from my phone and have not been manipulated in any way other than the crude cover-ups of usernames and photos to protect the identities of those involved. I may decide to change this feature in the future, considering some of these people really deserve to be publicly shamed. But I'm not quite ready to take that step.

All the conversations you see on this blog are 100% legitimate. I will never alter or delete messages before posting them on here. Everything is a direct screenshot from my cellphone. All conversations happened over PlentyOfFish or OKCupid unless otherwise specified. All the stories I share are also non-fictional, meaning nothing has been made up or falsified for the purposes of this blog.

I hope you enjoy seeing all the crazy, scary and sometimes odd things I come across in my online dating adventures. Questions and comments are always welcome!
