Verify Investments in Nigeria (Don’t Fund a Ponzi)

If the “investment” sounds too sweet, it’s probably designed to chop your money. Verify first. Then invest.

Top Ponzi red flags

• Guaranteed fixed returns (especially weekly/monthly).
• They pay you more for referrals than for the actual product.
• They can’t explain the business model in plain English.
• Withdrawals start “pending” as soon as many people try to cash out.

Quick due diligence checklist

• Who owns it? Real names, real company registration (CAC), real address.
• Where is your money kept? (Custody matters more than marketing.)
• Do they have audited statements or any credible proof beyond screenshots?
