Introduction
In recent weeks, a wave of discontent has swept across social media platforms in Nigeria as investors voiced their frustrations over alleged account disabling and withdrawal issues with an investment platform called Kwakol Markets.
Account Disabling and Blocked Withdrawals
Kwakol Markets, a well-known forex broker in Nigeria, has come under fire after several clients reported having their accounts disabled and their withdrawal requests blocked. The affected investors took to Twitter to share their experiences, detailing the frustrations they faced in trying to access their funds. The disabling of accounts without apparent cause or explanation has left many investors feeling betrayed and concerned about the safety of their investments.
Several alerts have been raised if you check the Kwakol Markets on WikiFX. Kwakol has been given a score of 4.00/10 by WikiFX. And recently WikiFX has received a lot of complaints against this broker within three months. Please be aware of the potential risk.
Consummate: Withdrawal Woes Continue
Interestingly, it has been discovered that Kwakol Markets has a partnership with another investment platform called Consummate, which is also grappling with similar withdrawal issues. Users of Consummate have reported difficulties in withdrawing their funds, effectively leaving them stranded with their investments locked within the platform. This has further fueled speculation about the legitimacy and trustworthiness of both Kwakol Markets and Consummate.
As we know so far, Kwakol has also partnered with two gurus who are well known on local social media platforms. They are @Habbyforex_ and @JeffBensonForex.
The Impact on Investors
The repercussions of these reported issues are significant, as numerous investors find themselves unable to access their hard-earned money and the accounts have been disabled by this broker. Many individuals believed this broker is getting involved in a scam. The lack of transparency and the failure to facilitate withdrawals erode trust and confidence in these platforms, ultimately hurting investors and undermining the broader investment landscape in Nigeria.
While the exact reasons for the disabling of accounts and blocked withdrawals remain unclear, some potential explanations have emerged. As we know so far, this broker is not regulated by any regulatory institution. This is a serious red flag for us when concerned about its reliability.
There is More
In May of this year, on Facebook, Kwakol Markets was reported to have refused to let client withdraw $81,000 and suspended users' accounts. See below.
Conclusion
The reports of account disabling and blocked withdrawals from Kwakol Markets and Consummate have caused significant distress among investors in Nigeria. The inability to access funds and the subsequent loss of trust in these platforms highlight the urgent need for enhanced regulation and oversight in the investment sector. Investors should exercise caution and thoroughly research any investment platform before committing to their funds. It is crucial for regulatory bodies to investigate these allegations promptly and take appropriate action to safeguard the interests of investors and maintain the integrity of the Nigerian investment landscape.
