The lies and fraud of Emmanuel Weyi

Emmanuel Weyi is an American living in Uganda, using his mobile phone to scam people and get money from them.

Emmanuel Weyi’s email is emweyi@gmail.com

Emmanuel Weyi’s phone number is 720 334–5214

He often uses the last name “Wey”

He’s been scamming innocent people for a long time, working with his son Jonathan (“Wamba”) Weyi (jwamba@msn.com) in Denver, where their bank account is.

The address where I had Jonathan served with papers is:

Jonathan Wamba

913 S. Zeno Way, #202, Aurora, CO 80017

Jonathan’s phone number is 303 520 4769

Emmanuel Weyi has no problem signing legally binding contracts that he knows he will never honor.

He scammed me in 2020. I lost money. I hired a Denver law firm, sued, and won a judgment against him in district court. There is no way to collect, of course, because Jonathan and the company have no money. The money generally goes to Emmanuel in Kampala.

Most people don’t try to sue him, because they are embarrassed about losing money so stupidly. He threatens to sue people all the time, but he is broke. I know he’s broke, because I keep in touch with his former landlady, who was renting him a room for $500 a month until he owed her six months’ rent and she kicked him out.

Charming and criminally dishonest — Emmanuel Weyi would fit right in with other previous Congolese presidents.

How he scams people

He is very well spoken and traveled. He claims to know many famous people, like Elon Musk, George Bush, many senators and other very powerful politicians. He runs a long con, where he gets people to trust him, believing that he’s a billionaire, promises them a huge business deal worth millions of dollars. Or he claims to have a lot of gold he wants to trade for cash. He goes back and forth on terms and documents for months, pretending to pay attention to all the details of “the deal.” After months of building himself up, he explains he’s getting a divorce or for some reason his cash is tied up. He needs them to advance him money, which he will pay back with a huge amount of interest. He just needs a cash advance on a “small amount,” like $20,000, or a bar of gold that he is planning to deliver personally.

During the months of negotiations, he meets many of his victim’s friends and business associates, and he diligently works to get to know them. After the con is over, he contacts these people next in line and says he wants to do a big deal with them. And the process repeats. He’s been doing this more than 20 years and has probably taken about $1 million from various people over that time. Including his own children.

I have spoken with many previous victims. I’ve spoken with the FBI. Because of my efforts, I’ve prevented about a dozen people from getting scammed.

If he has contacted you, you should understand that he has probably already contacted anyone you have introduced to him.

I’m glad to announce that after months and months, I finally got his Wikipedia page deleted.

Beware: Emmanuel Weyi and many others like him are using Wikipedia to scam people.
