I created a thread earlier here on nairaland about a fraudulent make money quick platform called “platinum investment group”, after my investigation and feedback from other nairalanders, I’ve realised that they are fake and are scammers, I also discovered that there are several other platforms like this, being run by the same set of people, swindling people out of their hard earned money, am here to expose some of them which I have discovered.

Make sure you read to the end, let’s get started.

1) PLATINUM INVESTMENT GROUP
This platform operates on telegram; they have their group on telegram called “PLATINUM INVESTMENT”

HOW THEY OPERATE
They create their group on telegram, add their fellow scammers (these guys are part of them and they are working together) and other unsuspecting people.

They begin sharing motivational messages and images, and the fellow scammers in the group, drop their fake credit alert screenshots to motivate you and other unsuspecting members in the group to give the platform a try.

They claim to double money invested by first timers (they give you back 100% of your investment) in 48hrs, while old members are given 50% of their investment in 5 days, meanwhile the minimum investment amount is 50,000naira while the maximum is 500,000naira.

INVEST
50,000 get 100,000
100,000 get 200,000
200,000 get 400,000
500,000 get 1,000,000

You get the idea

The moment you indicate interest in investing, you are contacted by the director of the group, he chats you privately, gives you the whole orientation thing, explains how the platform works, and how other people have made good money from it, he assures you is legit and even asks for your phone number to call you so as to talk more about the platform.

You are then told to register on their website: http://platinuminvestment.herokuapp.com/

And once your done registering, your given an account number to transfer funds to and within 48hrs you will be credited double the amount you invested.

The moment you transfer this fund forget it, that is the end of your money, e don enter voicemail be that, you are immediately blocked and removed from the group or platform.

2) HANFORD GLOBAL INVESTMENT
This platform also operates on telegram; the name of the group on telegram is “HANFORD GLOBAL INVESTMENT”

HOW THEY OPERATE
They operate, the exact same way as the platform above, using the same methods and tricks, the only difference is they don’t have a website, and they require you to send your details for registration, before you are sent the bank account number to send funds to, also the minimum investment amount is 20,000naira while the maximum is 500,000naira.

And of course once you transfer the fund you are blocked and removed from the group.

3) BINOMO INVESTMENT
This platform also operates on telegram, the name of the group on telegram is “BINOMO INVESTMENT”, now it’s good to note that Binomo is actually a legit world renown trading platform, however fraudsters in Nigeria are using their name as bait for unsuspecting Nigerians, calling it “BINOMO INVESTMENT NIGERIA”, claiming their head office is at Abuja, they even have the address registered on Google but it actually doesn’t exist, and they have nothing to do with the real BINOMO, which is a world renown trading platform.

Be warned.

HOW THEY OPERATE
They operate the exact same way as the other platforms mentioned above, using the same methods and tricks, they also don’t have a website, and they require you to send your details for registration, before you are sent the bank account number to send funds to, also the minimum investment amount is 50,000naira while the maximum is 500,000naira.

They claim to invest the funds you give them into crypto currency, such as bitcoin, they triple the money and send you back double of what you invested within 48hrs, what’s left is their own gain.

They send you an account number to transfer funds to, by now I don’t think I need to tell you what will happen after you’ve transfer the funds.



These are the three have come across, although I know that there are so many more out there, if you’ve come across these platforms, or fallen victim to one of them, please feel free to share their details on this thread, lets alert the general public.


Below are some screen shots of the groups, with some fake credit alerts, be alert, stay safe, and don’t fall victim of these cheap scammers.

Also share with other nairalanders.

They can only dupe who want quick money

Baawaa:
They can only dupe who want quick money

Still many will fall victim, i almost fell for it, until i came back to my senses and realised it was to good to be true, that was when i began to see through their many lies.

One has to be sensible when allowing such platforms to get under your skin. These people employ a great deal of psychology to rope their victims in.

If you're greedy, you'll likely fall victim over and over again. Trusted investment platforms exists, but I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY ONE THAT WILL GIVE YOU 50-100% in 48hrs. Even shareholders in top brands don't make that much in a quarter!

A lot of them reek of unprofessionalism and quackery that anyone who falls a victim should really check him/herself

OP well done job. though most greedy people are blind and deaf, moreover the bible said a " fool and his money are soon separated "

That's 1 thing people fail to realise, even trusted platforms like bitcoin don't appreciate overnight.

Anything Forex or bitcoin or other crypto currency on nairaland or Telegram is a scam,yes. Slowpokes telling us how they made thousands of dollars daily but they had to log on to nairaland and spam different threads to tell us about it,how much sense does that make.
People trade Forex and bitcoin all over the world,they don't spend half of the day on telegram and nairaland and WhatsApp talking trash about making thousands of dollars and desperately looking for people to chat them on WhatsApp,thieves hungry I diots. I blame the no brains that give you people attention.

Hello, we would like to address that "Binomo Investment" is not the same with Binomo. We do not operate through Telegram nor agent, every legitimate transaction should only happen on our platform. Our system is currently fighting those who uses our company name for bad purposes. We urge everyone to remain vigilant.

Warm regards!
