The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has assured those who invested in the trending CBEX platform that they would all get their money back as the commission is investigating.
EFCC spokesperson, Dele Oyewale in an interview with Channels Television recounted how the commission had warned Nigerians that the platform is a Ponzi scheme.
Oyewale specifically stated that the Executive Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ola Olukoyede instructed for Nigerians to be alerted of 58 Ponzi scheme companies.

He further noted that CBEX does not have any offline office as many claim — that there are some in Ibadan.
“All the area offices that people are saying are in Ibadan and in some other locations are not functional offices. The entire thing is online,” he said.
Oyewale added that the returns promised by the platform is unrealistic and even Nigeria’s interest rate does not go close.
However, he has promised all who invested their money to hope on them to get their money back.
He also mentioned that the commission is working with the Interpol and others to make this happen.
“Investors are going to get their money back and we’re already working on that. All I’m saying is that this kind of thing could have been averted, but we’re not going to throw our hands up helplessly to say that there’s nothing the EFCC can do about it. No, we’re more responsible; we are more professional than that,” he assured.
