CEO of Leading Media Outlet Names & Shames His Friends on His Facebook Wall Who Owe Him Cash
In a bid to recover debts, banks and other financial institutions chase after debtors and even haul others into court to chase down loans that some bad debtors claim can’t repay their loans. However, for the CEO of a leading media outlet it was a totally different script.
Philip Pips, CEO, Oxygen Media, last week decided to expose all his friends who owe him cash but are playing cat-and-mouse games with him on social media. Pips started with a cautionary status update on his Facebook Timeline warning all his debtors to pay or else get named and shamed.
“Am putting my Mombasa friends on notice…if you know you borrowed cash from me saying ‘ntakulipa after…bla bla bla’ and it’s been weeks, months and even years for some of you…then be very afraid, I will start here and end with the courts…so start calling coz by tomoro same time ntawaanika…”
That was on Thursday…Come Friday, Pips, true to his word, Pips went ahead and made public the names of his friends who don’t want to pay back the cash owed.
However, it wasn’t long before he pulled down the posts.
