Abstract:Crypto currency business that doesn’t belong to forex trading is seen as a grey area of law and prohibited in lots of countries. While crypto currency transactions are not prohibited in Zimbabwe, the local central financial institutions have repeatedly warned the associated risks of money laundering, terrorist financing, tax evasion and fraud. Kenya has the most cutting-edge high-tech in Africa. Crypto currency is becoming more popular locally, although the local government like Zimbabwe keep warning people against trading crypto currencies. Nigeria does not regulate the local crypto currency market, but its central bank likens BTC trading to gambling.
Recently, a new fraud broker named CRYPTO FX running BTC and forex businesses was reported by a victim. The victim saw the investment platform on Facebook. A person called Sarah Douglas told the victim that he could buy BTC through localbitcoin.com, and start with a minimum investment of 20 dollars which will bring 400 dollars of bonus after 24 hours. The victim added Sarah Douglas on WhatsApp , and made the investment as Sarah said. The victim received an email that confirmed his payment was transferred successfully. Meanwhile, the victim received another email telling him that his account received 640 dollars of bonus, but he needed to pay 107 dollars of registration fee for activating his account.
However, after paying registration fee, the victim got a new email from CRYPTO FX, the email mentioned that to completed transaction the victim should pay a 315 dollar C.O.T (cost of transfer). At this time, the victim was not paying because he had sensed that it was supposed to be a scam, later the victim found that Sarah Douglas's FB account had been disabled, while CRYPTO FX had closed due to COVID-19.
Eventually, the victim lost 66,000 Naira and could not withdraw, and he could only communicate with Sarah Douglas through the unofficial channel of WhatsApp.
Although BTC business is illegal in Africa, the high profitability and convenient and simple trading process of this crypto currency has made it quite common in Nigeria. Once those fraudsters get the money, they will not contact you anymore.
Through investigation, WikiFX found the following policies over Bitcoin trading are implemented in several major countries around the world.
As per investigation, CRYPTO FX is an illegal broker without valid regulatory status, rated at only 1.23 on WikiFX App. The broker is currently active on large social network such as Telegram and Facebook, please stay away!
