Goldvest

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I posted of review of this kind once upon a time on ThriveAgric. I have investments of 3.2m naira with Goldvest, have known the team members for a while, been to some of their farms at Kachia, Kagoro, Kachia, the developments at Ibadan, one at Keffi, Gaate - Nasarawa, one at Kogi and i can say its not funny on them.

Am forced to make this review because I see all Joe's hardwork, reputation been destroyed, I know he reads all online comments but won't say a word.

Have been flowing through this goldvest trend since March, spoke with him over and over and lately emails.

I have this unexplainable love for agriculture, Am Nigerian, I work in Ontario and met goldvest online, particular on Instagram, spoke with the team, i loved the idea, and they were responsive then. I got a Poultry farm slot from the Lagos State Government Ministry of Agriculture and Co-Operative, Badagry in 2014 and due to my absence they messed the farm and had to close it, when i spoke with the ceo, Joe, we spoke a lot and August we met in Lekki, had series of discussions, I was to invest 40million in Goldvest, but he would always stop me and advice I wake my farm up and build a fish farm attached this made me stay back Nigeria till date. The team helped though paid, in setting up and ultramodern farm for me, I control every activity on my dashboard, with 24 hours camera surveillance, automatic temperature regulation, automatic water exchange and solar systems.

To an extent, I understand everything about Goldvest, have travelled with the team almost half of Nigeria. Joe is a born farmer, computer programmer, an introvert, very quiet and hardworking, I know over 20 members of the team and its really a trying time for them.

The team have escapes lot of kidnap, paid ransoms, farmers in Southern Kahuna forsake the funded farms and had to run for their dear lives, no insurance company showed up, their bank accounts were blocked by partners without court order, threat messages, arrests over and over.

Agricultural business like this face challenges and require patient capital to run.

If you have done farming before you will understand.

They are hardworking young people always on the field to get things done. Let this not ruin their reputation.

They will pay up, they are not fraudsters, and they will get over it. #DoingBusinessIshardInNigeria #PoliciesChange #YoungEntepreneurs #COVID-19 #NigeriaFarmsPatientCapitaleyBack #Empathy

Scammers, owing investors excessively and going incommunicado

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Updated by user Apr 28, 2021

All efforts to contact them failed

Original review Apr 28, 2021
Goldvest ng are scammers, they have refused to pay investors their money. Still trading despite defaulting. They haven't been picking calls nor reaching out customer and have also cut off all communication with customers. Goldvestng took funds for agric business through crowd funding but abused the system. They have become incommunicado since the time for payout. Phone lines not going through and no way to reach them. This is tending towards a case of fraud, misrepresentation and deceit.

Goldvest have been unresponsive since my investment pay date.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Investors have been unable to reach them. All their contact channels are no longer available. They have blocked the investors WhatsApp group, so no one can comment or query anything. They have just gone quiet and unreachable. This is very disappointing as they swore at the start that they are not fake and will pay up. They even showed proof of company insurance but it's all premeditated tactics of defrauding innocent people. Goldvest, please pay us our mmoney. Iplease plIt's

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I invested 5.3 million naira on November 3rd 2020 for 3 months. My maturity date is February 3rd 2021, they sent mass email that they will be adding 7 weeks, when I checked status on goldvest portal it was showing pending insurance claim. I contacted goldvest several time and got not response. I contacted them via Twitter and they tried to raise awareness on how they have refused to pay investors and they finally blocked me on Twitter and till date I have not heard from them.

Failure to pay back my capital and ROI

I invested with them from October 2020. things were going well until February this year when they refused to pay back my capital and ROI. they decided (on their own) to extend the contract with 7 weeks. we reasoned with them and waited for the extra 7 weeks to end. That expired in early April. This is over 2 months after the contract expired (February 2021) but they have not done anything. In fact, they don't stopped responding to our calls, emails and their CEO even deleted his Twitter handle just t evade complains from angry investors. I am afraid, goldvest is a scam

I invested with Goldvest Nig. Ltd in October 2020. Investment duration was 3months. Payment was supposed to be made after the expiration of this investment by end of January. Boom they increased investment tenor by another 7weeks. 7weeks had elased, and another 4weeks gone now with ingenuine excuses. This company is a scam and members of the public should please be mindful. EFCC please help recover our funds and bring the owner and directors of this company to justice.

To prevent others from getting scammed

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I invested in their broiler farm in the October 2020, when the investment matured in January they came up with the excuse of Endsars and covid-19 disrupting the farm. As at the time I invested Endsars problem had come and gone, I wonder how that affected the success of the farm. Obviously the funds were mismanaged or misappropriated. Up till this moment (April) they are yet to pay their investors in the broiler farm and other farms they opened around that periods
