PIGS SALES SCAM ALERT!!!
Hello great minds, I discovered a new scam ongoing in the piggery sales sector and I want to alert potential sales of pigs to this new system. It involves the use of this so called 300kg or 500kg hanging scales
Some agents of pigs go about with this type of scales and when they get to your farm while scaling with it, they expertly manipulate the scales with a little rubber tied to the back of the scale in such a way that pigs that is supposed to weigh 62kg can weigh 48 kg now.
They are even very wicked removing as much 25kg from pigs weighing over 150kgs
They know approximately what kgs they are pulling out and after they ask the buyer to do kill and divide with them.
So if you are selling maybe 4000kgs now ,you might end up collecting cash for 3450kg ,the remaining 550kgs will be shared by the buyer and the agents.
I think this is very wicked and despicable.
How would the farmer recover his expenses? How can the agent even have more pigs to sell later self.?
As soon as the agent told me about this on my trip to purchase, I tactically told the farmers to go and get thier scales and not to allow any agent near it.
Even if they are using your own, they know how to manipulate the scale to give a smaller readings.
So don't allow the buyer or agent get near your hanging scales if you want to sell and don't have a walk in scale.
Always be extra vigilant especially while dealing with ogun state and Lagos and Ibadan axis agents.
Get your scales and your scaling boys yourself.
Just thought this will be worth sharing since my conscience won't allow me to keep quiet in this midst of this day light robbery.
Thank you and pls share if you know other ways farmers are being scammed of thier money.
