In a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja, the SEC warned the public about the increasing threat posed by unregistered investment platforms and Ponzi-style schemes promising excessively high returns.
According to preliminary findings, FF Tiffany enticed investors with unrealistic and exaggerated profit promises—a hallmark of fraudulent financial operations.
“The scheme, which assured investors of unusually high and improbable returns, has led to losses amounting to several billions of naira,” the Commission disclosed.
The SEC described the activities of FF Tiffany as a serious threat to investor trust and the integrity of Nigeria’s financial system. It confirmed collaboration with law enforcement agencies and other relevant bodies to track down and prosecute all individuals connected to the scheme.
“Those found guilty will face prosecution under the Investment and Securities Act as well as other applicable laws,” the SEC stated.
As part of a larger nationwide clampdown, the Commission revealed that 79 similar schemes are currently under investigation and that further updates will be released upon the conclusion of their inquiries.
SEC Warns the Public
Reaffirming earlier cautions, the SEC strongly advised Nigerians to avoid investment schemes that promise guaranteed or excessive returns, especially those not registered with the Commission.
“These schemes offer no legal investor protection and should be avoided,” it warned.
The public is encouraged to verify the legitimacy of any investment outfit through the SEC’s official website or by contacting its offices directly.
The Commission reassured Nigerians of its continued dedication to safeguarding investors, promoting fair market practices, and preserving confidence in the nation’s capital market.
“We urge investors to conduct due diligence, stay away from ‘too good to be true’ opportunities, and promptly report any suspicious activity,” the statement concluded.
