ESEROMA THE THIEF
Warning! Do not stay at Eseroma's Home stay!
Eseroma Vunibola is a thief and a fraud. He has repeatedly stolen from my house, and repeatedly committed fraud by siphoning off money I paid him for building materials which he used for his own purposes. I repeatedly asked him to provide receipts for the material, but instead he would claim the receipts got wet, or he lost them, or his mother didn't get one. Petty excuses that only a child would make up or believe. On the ONLY occasion that he provided a receipt it was deliberately provided too small to read despite me asking multiple times for him to send a readable receipt He has also stolen my building materials and paint which was supposed to have been used in my house, and used them on his house, or as a temporary pulpit for a church. He's happily damaged or destroyed my materials, with no offer to replace them.
Finally, he has been stealing my belongings from my house. He blamed a cousin, but refused to provide a full name, a phone number or any other details. When I asked for a phone number he came up with a stupid excuse that the phone number had changed, so I asked for the old phone number as the police could use that to trace the cousin, but he refused. He refused to provide the name of relatives of this so called cousin. He told me his father reported the cousin to the police, but refused to provide any details of the report, other than to say the police visited Gunu village on December 23 2021. When I contact the Fiji Police about it, they said they had no details of a report and the police did not visit Gunu on that date or around that date. As it was close to Christmas, you would think they would remember. In short, he did everything he could to stop me from tracking down this so called cousin. I would have thought he would go out of his way to try to help me. It is obvious that he is lying, there was no cousin, and he's the thief. Even if there was a cousin, I didn't give Eseroma permission to give anyone access to my house. Yet he refuses to take responsibility, and refuses to replace anything stolen or pay for anything stolen. On top of that, some of the items he claims were stolen, like my bed sheets, I've since seen in his photographs.
Then, despite me telling him several times that he could not use my house any more as an Air-BNB, he listed it on Air-BNB under his son's name. He denied he was listing my house, childishly claiming it was his house, but the pictures were clearly of my house. This was another example of his many lies. I will be posting screen shots of conversations between me and him soon that show more examples of his lies.
Tua / Eseroma Vunibola is a thief. Not only did he steal from me, but he's been involved in stealing from his home stay customers as well.
Do not trust him, do not stay in his homestay.
