A widespread scamming operation has come to light, leaving more than 50 victims, including 36-year-old Marsha Williams of Adlington, East Coast Demerara, defrauded of hundreds of thousands of dollars by a business known as Limitless Lenders, allegedly headed by Adecia Coleman.
Victims, including Marsha, were enticed by the company’s advertisements on Facebook, which promised vehicles of their choice at affordable prices. However, many now claim they were deceived and left without their promised vehicles or their money.
Marsha Williams and her husband reportedly paid a total of $700,000 Guyanese dollars to Limitless Lenders. On August 29, 2024, they made an initial down payment of $600,000 Guyanese dollars, followed by an additional $100,000 Guyanese dollars, in exchange for the promise of receiving a Fielder Wagon in early December 2024.
When Marsha returned to the business on December 6, there was no vehicle, and she was told to wait an additional two to three months. Suspecting a scam, she demanded a refund.
Adecia Coleman issued a cheque dated December 27 for the sum owed, but when Marsha attempted to cash it at Demerara Bank, it bounced.Attempts to contact Coleman were unsuccessful, prompting Marsha to share her experience on Facebook.
Her post quickly went viral, gaining between 75,000 and 85,000 views. As others came forward, it was revealed that over 50 people had similarly fallen victim to Limitless Lenders, paying amounts ranging from $400,000 to $1,000,0000 Guyana dollars. Victims formed a WhatsApp group to coordinate their efforts, and multiple reports were made to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID).
However, authorities have reportedly struggled to make contact with Coleman. On December 27, Marsha filed a formal complaint at the Leonora Police Station, where investigations are said to be ongoing.Interestingly, one individual, identified as Shannita, claimed to have successfully received a boat from Limitless Lenders.
However, the boat was allegedly delivered without proper documentation, raising further concerns about the legitimacy of the operation.
Currently, a protest is underway at the business’s location at Lot 122, Old Road, Stewartville, West Coast Demerara, as victims demand justice and refunds.The incident has sparked public outrage, with calls for stronger action against fraudulent businesses.
Authorities are urging others who may have been affected to come forward and file reports to aid in the investigation.
