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.

This is what happens when you suspend common sense because of greed.

Anybody can just set up a Ponzi scheme and call it Bitcoin bla bla because they know that Bitcoin is trending these days

30% profit in one week? Does that make sense?

And the victims are so-called educated people.

Smh..

If it sounds too good to be true, it's probably not true.
Real investments grow over time and require patience but people always want it sharp sharp...
and that is why they will continue to fall for this kind of scam in the future...

Wtf

SS people watch now as the Fulani go say we are all Biafrians.

When e reach make we waka from this Zoo dem go separate SE & SS

what does bitcoin company even mean?

Ok

They came to my plaza in Abuja the other day...i saw it as a venture too good to be true.
The young man promised to come back I've not seen him ever since

This has nothing to do with bitcoin. It is simply greed on the part of the said investors because bitcoin doesn't pay 30% in one week

No free things in Freetown

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!

He who's looking for awoof will meet his financial waterloo

Poor people shouldnt invest in unvetted high risk things.

this is my def of greed

Are you sure it's not Ponzi scheme because Bitcoins is still existing and getting stronger...please don't be deceive

Can anyone advise on Gold Swiss?

What is the name of the bitcoin coin company? More than 1000 people invaded the company? Really? Was it a bitcoin or ponzi scheme? Journalism at its worse.

Were is that person that always put up bitcoin advert on NL? People will never learn. If these set of people commit suicide I will not feel sorry because their exit will mean less greedy mugus from this world

I don't even feel sorry for them.
