Since WikiFX entered the Nigerian market in Feb. 2020, we have received nearly 900+ complaints against brokers from Nigerian. And these complaints are based on investors real experience. Until now, WikiFX has exposed many forex brokers including Olymptrade, Binomo trade, CRYPTO FX, UniversalFX, aliforex, speedXprofits, EONLINE, IQ option, limpidOptions, GOLDEN FX TRADE, LMFX, OCTAFX, Iron FX, OINVEST etc., among which Olymptrade, Binomo trade, IQ option, and IronFX are complained most.

The forex market in Nigeria is in chaos due to no related laws and regulatory body. This article will present the 4 types of investment fraud in details.

Forex fraud:

Accompanied by a lure of “low risk, high return”, forex fraud includes the following cases:

Broker opens positions without the consent of customers;

Claiming that the software they sell can bring high returns to customers;

Poorly managed fund accounts;

Advertising misleading;

etc.

The obvious characteristics of forex fraud:

1. Can not withdraw money due to update system of platform.

2. Need to pay COT(cost of transaction )fee before withdrawing.

3. Slippage is seriously out of the normal range.

4. Unable to log into account due to suspension.

5. A non-existent regulatory body. Or the regulatory body uses a limited companys registration number as a regulatory number. Such as “The Financial Commission”, which is an illegal regulatory body.

6. The address showed on brokers website does not match with its registered address. With unreal address and customer contact number, it has potentially high risk of running away.

Binary options and Cryptocurrency fraud:

There are some similarities between the two investments.

1. Illegal and unregulated.

2. Easy to operate; high-return profits; quick deposit and withdrawal.

3. The investment model looks like gambling.

To earn high profits from Binary options trading combined with bitcoin trading has become the mainstream in the forex field. From many fraud cases, it can be seen that investors still rely on “luck” rather than reliable investment skills. They never consider what the background of a broker is and where the broker come from, on the contrary, they only focus on when they can get high-return profits.

For example, you have 10 dollars BTC and is promised to get double or triple profits in a shorty period time from brokers. And even more exaggerated thing is that you invest 500 dollar, then you can get 5,000 dollars after one week. However, this is a fantasy. Generallythese high-return modelshaveviolated the principle of investment.

When withdrawing your money, you may get some common excuses from brokers.

1: You need to deposit more if you want to withdraw your principal.

2: You can withdraw within half an hour but you need to pay registration fee.

3: You need to pay 10% commission fee.

4: Limiting the amount of withdrawal.

4: Can not reach out for the agent or be kick out from group chat.

Note: Please stay away if you meet above situations, and stop depositing money, otherwise, you will lose more. Illegal brokers only care how to maximally deceive your money, and then run away.

Ponzi schemes:

The most obvious feature of the scheme is that scammer sets different levels of the investment amount with different profits, and then promises investors that they can get more profits by inviting friends to join them. Those kinds of investment plans are obviously tricks. The scammer tries to attract more people to join the scheme by showing high profits. But high profit is always accompanied by high risk. In a word, Once these scammers raise enough money, they will run away.

Conclusion: If you are interested in forex trading, do not only pay attention to how much profits you can get, and you need to know the background, history and trading types of the broker you want to choose before depositing. In addition, forex knowledge is also necessary.
