Following
the recent massive loss of cash by many Nigerians to ponzi scheme, Mavrodi
Mundial Movement, MMM, a Nigerian woman
named Ibok Offiong ha
s allegedly lost over One Hundred and Ninety two thousand
dollars ($192,000.00) to another virtual trading scheme, Cryptocurrency trading
called Bitcoin trade.
Mrs. Ibok, while narrating her story, said her account
was blocked after investing so much in the Bitcoin Trade and all efforts to
reach the management to unblock her account proved abortive.
She said for
over 9 months now, she has not been able to retrieve her investment in the
trade following the fraud. Below is an account of her ordeal as given by one of
her agents: “About 9 months ago, Ibok Offiong was introduced into trading in
cryptocurency by Adaego Ononuju (Her referral), a fellow team member of hers in
onelife/Onecoin to the trading company called Tradecoin club aka TCC,
@TradecoinUSA @ TradeCoin Club @TCCNAIJA. She was asked to provide start of
capital and was promise a refund. After some months of her successful trading,
TCC told her they won’t return her capital.
Though she didn’t find it funn she
contiue trading to make profit to recover her lose. And boom! For no reason,
TCC to block her account. All effort to have unblock the account for 4 months
now have proved abortive. When I first read the story on Ibok Offiong ‘s wall
weeks ago, I was like “na them sabi” until I stumbled upon it somewhere on
nairaland and realized some people are evil. Read Offing’s story.
“On the 5th
of July I logged into my Acc and had a total of about 7btc available for me to
withdraw, but I decided to wait till the next day to do so. So come 6th July,
2017, I tried to log into my trading account with TCC, and to my surprise I
could not. I then got a constant alert that my account was blocked, and I
should contact the compliance unit of the company, which I did immediately
through my email. I also noticed an email from the company stating that my
account had been suspended. Find attached screen shuts. I contacted my sponsor,
Ada, and she claimed being too busy to meet with me, even after finally
convincing her to meet me, I asked for her office address and up till date, I
am yet to get that from her.
Precisely 12 days after, I contacted the CEO of
the company directly, Joff Paradise, and his first response was that he was
eating with his kids. I waited patiently for him to get back to me, and he did
nothing. 24 hours later, I contacted him again, and attached was what
transpired. See attached screenshot of discussion, as well as a screenshot of
his saved number, for your confirmation. Joff paradise stated in his chat that
1- I didn’t pay for tax, which I did 2- I had 2 account, in which I only have 1
3- evidence of promoting another business, which to my knowledge, was not a
problem when I invested in the coy TCC. According to TCC Co founder, Joff
Paradise, it would take about 45 days for the company to respond to my email,
in response to their blocking my account with the company.
As at date, it’s
going to 90days. 90 days of not trading, 90 days of not having access to my 87
bitcoins on my TCC account, from a total investment of 40 bitcoin in this
company, as a pioneer investor and founding member and share holder of the
company. 90 days of no access to my account as top 200 leader/member of a
company, who was given a free VIPs ticket and accommodation for the 26th May
Macau event, as well as a VIP invitation for a recently concluded event in
Belize.”
After pressure from Ibok Offiong’s, TCC then handled her an option of
selling the account to an unknown client when they later found out the buyer is
Adaego. This is the same Adaego who was having financial problem for years and
Offiong was there at every moment to help out. Some friends are only there for
the gains and to add mystery to one’s life. Adaego you are not a friend but a
fraud.. You and TradeCoinUSA should return Ibok’s money. And to you who is
planning to invest in Tradecoin Nigeria, you better receive sense.”
