James Karuri Who Was Once Featured On Young Rich Is A Con! Beware!

James Karuri is a smartass, probably too smart for his age, the other thing you need to know about him is that he is a con, a Serious con at that. He is also very witty,He owns an IT company called Mambo Creative, where he creates imaginary websites for real people, the real people are unhappy that he has been asking for money for services he doesn’t offer! James Karuri was featured on K24’s young rich,where he spoke at length and declared that he is worth 400 million! Despite being worth that “much” James has perfected the art of con-artistry, below here are the tales of James and how like a spider, he tells innocent flies (read clients), “welcome to my lair”

 The Complainant in this Case is is Nyatichi Gesare, a 23 three year -old innocent Kenyan girl with the whole world to conquer, She was unluckily  swindled 350,000 by James Karuri.  The young woman met James Karuri in 2013 where she contracted him to create a website for her, she was asked to pay a down payment of 160k which was equal to 80% which she paid promptly, a month later, James was yet to keep his end of the bargain. After much prompting, he agreed to finish the task within the shortest time possible, He never did. 

Six months later he was yet to deliver on something he had been paid to do. When Gesare contacted him and demanded a refund, he scheduled a meeting with her at the Java TRM where he continued to barrage her with endless explanations why he hadn’t delivered six months later. With a little convincing, Gesare Cleared the balance owed to James after James promised yet again that he would finish up the website by the week’s end. 

One year later, Gesare received a substandard website with a back end that she couldn’t even use. Her attempts at calling James hit rock-bottom after he chose to ignore all her calls. She made her way to Jame’s office, and demanded an explanation, James ended up pulling down her website. 

When she again requested that James give her files of the website, he demanded for 9k in order to get the shoddy website online again. 

 It is 2015, Gesare will have to start her life all over again other than living her dream.James walks on, head-held high. paid in full for something he didn’t deliver anyway.

Even his wife quite agrees that the husband is difficult to deal with. 

I called James up for his side of the story, He promised to get back and he did, he told me in one long email how Gesare had “diva demands’ and kept insisting that he change the templates. I followed his argument and like you will find below, he was contracted to do business that he didn’t do until one year later, And when he did, his service was below par. He therefore owes the complainant 300k as a refund for services  not rendered.

Here are some of the invoices  that record the monetary exchanges .. I’ll skip the others because they contain personal information.
