Victims cry out as EFCC releases fresh list of 58 illegal ponzi scheme operators defrauding Nigerians

• Shattered by regret, many now relive the bitter sting of trusting financial firms unmasked as scams by the EFCC.
• The financial crime body warns that these companies were never legitimate, lack the proper registration to operate as real investment firms.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has raised the alarm over 58 companies allegedly running illegal Ponzi schemes across Nigeria, preying on the hopes and hard-earned money of unsuspecting citizens.

In a statement shared by blog Goldsmyne via its verified Instagram account, the anti-graft agency exposed these firms as wolves in sheep’s clothing, posing as investment platforms while siphoning funds from trusting Nigerians.

The EFCC revealed that these companies lack the required registration with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), with both regulatory bodies confirming in separate correspondences that the firms were never licensed to operate as legitimate investment entities.
