The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has warned citizens to steer clear of 60 illegal Ponzi scheme operators in Nigeria.
These companies, operating without registration with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) or the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), have been identified as potential threats to the financial well-being of unsuspecting Nigerians.
According to the EFCC, some of these operators have already faced legal action, with five convicted and another five pleading guilty, awaiting sentencing.
The commission’s warning comes as a timely reminder for Nigerians to exercise caution when investing their hard-earned money.
The list of operators to avoid includes companies operating in various sectors, including agriculture, investment, and finance.

By being vigilant and informed, Nigerians can protect themselves from the dangers of Ponzi schemes and make informed investment decisions. Stay safe, and stay informed.
