Access Bank Nigeria Plc has warned its
customers to avoid dealing with Mavrodi Mondial Movement, a Ponzi scheme, which
has been declared illegal by the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
The bank in an emailed statement to its customers said it
had come to its attention “that some customers are engaged in the Ponzi scheme
called ‘MMM’”.
“Please be advised that this scheme is
not in line with any applicable or known investment product and may ultimately
lead to loss of funds in the long run,” the bank warned.
“We advise that customers avail
themselves of genuine and approved investments and products in the Nigerian
banking environment.”
Despite the warning by the Federal
Government, thousands of Nigerians have continued to patronise the scheme with
its website ranking as one of the five most visited in the country, ahead of
Facebook.
