An investor said he met Mrs Aisha on Instagram, who claimed she
was an agent working at Nigerian capital FXTM trading. And the investor
was told that a investment model could help him gain high profits by
investing bitcoin within 45 minutes. Then, the investor invested 10,000
naira bitcoins and waited to get the 40k profits. However, he did not
get the money that the agent promised after 45 minutes and even was
asked to invest more if he wanted to take his money back. Finally, he
invested a total of 135,000 naira through the bitcoin link given by Mrs
Aisha. After that Mrs Aisha disappeared.
Through the following transaction records, it can be seen that the
money was transferred to three different bank accounts, which are not
FXTM‘s official transaction accounts. Before, the investor also got a
person’s contact information from Mrs Aisha. The person said he was
Forextimes CEO, named ALONIPEKUN EBENEZER. When the investor asked the
CEO how he could withdraw the money, the CEO replied that he needed to
add extra 20,000 naira as his amount was not enough to carry out the
withdrawal. The CEO also provided a license of FXTM regulated by the
Commission Financial.
In the end, the investor found that it was actually a hoax. The
FXTM was never regulated by the Commission Financial. It is worth saying
that the FXTM never runs cryptocurrency businesses such as BTC. After
official confirmation, they just provides trading services like Forex,
Spot Metals, CFDs etc.
All in all, the fraud team pretended to be staff from FXTM and
attracted more peoples attention and trust. Here are some advice which
make it easy to identify scams.
1: Legal broker will not introduce you to their investment plans by the third-party social platform.
2: Legal broker has official email address and customer service and will not contacts you by WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook.
3: Investment model with high profits is always a potential trap.
4: Download WikiFX App to check a brokers score and credit.

reliable. As for more information about the FXTM, such as basic
