May 8, 2025 — Henrietta Mafia Awuku: "Imagine taking on cleaning jobs when you're sick…not knowing the conditions you'll be exposed to. But you just have to do it because your husband chose to not help when you're sick and you also can't ask for help from other men cos it's immoral." (veiled threat using sexual exposure)

May 23, 2025 — Henrietta Mafia Awuku (using fake medical emergency to demand money): "I was disoriented. I was so close to losing my mind. My body was cold. I couldn't recognize anyone. The nurse thought I was going to die. I was scared. I had 5 different needles inserted into my veins for treatment."

I am reporting a suspected rental fraud involving an individual named Lashard M Duren.

On or around February 3, I was in contact with Jarrett Duren regarding securing an apartment. He represented himself as working with a business partner and instructed me to send payments toward a down payment for the apartment.

I sent a total of approximately $8,200, including a payment of $2,100 through Cash App to an account he stated belonged to his business partner. These funds were represented as part of the required payment to secure the apartment.

The transaction also involved a notary (Beverly Dobere), which made the agreement appear legitimate and influenced my decision to proceed with payment.

However, the apartment was never provided. After repeated attempts to resolve the matter, I requested a full refund. While there has been some communication, the funds have not been returned, and responses have been delayed and inconsistent.

At this time, I believe I was misled into sending money

you should know they kept me under torture for a long time, without water or food, trying to force me to say what they wanted literally broke my finger to not be able to coding

Hey, I see how much you care, and I hear the hurt behind your words. I understand that what you need most is honesty and to feel like we're truly in this together good and bad. I realize how much it affects you when I try to protect you by keeping certain things from you. It's not fair to you, and I'm sorry for the time l've hidden thing or made you feel like you couldn't be part of what's going on.
I never wanted to hurt you, but I understand that by not being completely upfront, l've done exactly that. You're right; a relationship should be built on trust, mutual respect, and honesty, and I haven't always lived up to that in the way you deserve but I do respect you. It was never about thinking you couldn't handle things, but I see now that giving you the choice is what really matters. You should always have the option to be fully involved or not. I understand that more clearly now. I appreciate your patience too and for sticking with me through everything. I'm willing to share everything with you, and I want to try to move forward with complete honesty. I want to be with you more than anything
