So a company that has just opened shop less than 2 months ago is what these fools of a citizen put "millions" into?

Liars.... Those claiming they put #2.5m or #5m are outright liars!

Nigerians don't want to be patient when investing, true investment takes time to grow, I work as a financial advisor and some of the feedback I get when I introduce a profitable but slow growing investment to people is appalling, little wonder why they fall victim to fraudsters. My dear if you want to invest your money safely and profitably walk into either ARM office, Stanbic IBTC, Mansard or Ensure Nigeria PLC.

Gullible people everywhere.

Any biz or investment that promises more than 5% per week or max of 20% per month is nothing but a sham!

[quote author=sophsia62 post=66693847]A Bitcoin company in Calabar has disappeared into thin air with millions of Naira of customer’s money. As early as 8am yesterday, customers besieged the company’s office on Bassey Duke only to discover that the company had closed shop and vanished with their money.

Several phone calls were made by the customers but no response from the company officials that started operations about two months ago, collecting money from customers and giving them a whooping 30 per cent extra after seven days online trading.

As at yesterday, over 1000 people who were expecting their monies, broke into the offices and carted away any item they could lay their hands on as little compensation for their investment.
The entire premises of the company that occupied few rooms in the Bassey Duke shopping mall was taken over by frustrated customers and one of them who gave his name as Ifeanyi said, “This is things fall apart. I put in over N2.5million and now everything is gone.”
Another customer, who cried profusely, claiming he put in N5 million said, “I saw people collecting 30 per cent interest after one week that is why I also put in money. A huge part of the money I put in was even borrowed”.
Some National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members also invested and one of them said she put in N1.5 million and it was all her money in the world.
Another corper who put in N150, 000, said, “That money was all the money I saved in this my service year. This is painful, I thought I could do ‘business’ and help myself and my poor family”
It was gathered that thousands of people invested in the scheme, as someone told The Guardian, “The crowd you are seeing today are just a few that have come to get their money. They made millions and disappeared with our money. I don’t know why we would never learn. MMM and the likes that promises quick profit have duped us in the past, yet we keep falling for them, including me. I put in N500, 000 into this one and now see my money has gone down the drain.”
The situation caused an atmosphere of pandemonium and some soldiers who arrived in the afternoon fired several shots in the air to disperse the people but they kept coming.

I Wonder why we people leave behind our intelligent and blame ourselves when things went wrong. how comes does you put your money to attract a 30% of it in just a week. is it justifiable even in your thought. let us be wise.
seven years back a similar company went away with millions of naira of their customers in some northern states, of which the victims were mainly Igbo's.

People should come and invest in my affiliate company{AIICO insurance} and stop putting money in ponzi schemes. It takes years but you will get good returns for your money and there is no loss cos the company bears the risk.

BTC is not the problem. Infact I see BTC as the biggest invention since electricity. Just like money, it was intended to be a form of currency, not an investment. U use it as a form of exchange for business not the business itself!! I lost over 3.5m in BTC but that never stopped me from using..the traders are the real issues not BTC.....

So the BTC isn't post, the traders are...they probably tot BTC won't come up again since it lost a lot of Value this past week but I just got an alert a few minutes ago that it's coming up again. It's all about patience tho but don't put in what will hurt u when lost..

If it is Swiss Golden please don't do because it is ponzi. You have to fill some certain tables before you earn which you may not be able to fill
