A Nigerian man has taken to social media to express his deep frustration and heartbreak after the online trading platform, Cbex, allegedly crashed shortly after he invested a substantial amount of money totaling $313. According to the man, he sold off his phone and several personal belongings in a desperate move to raise funds to join the platform, hoping to earn returns from the investment.
Sharing his ordeal on X (formerly Twitter), the man explained that he had only registered and made his investment a day before the platform became inaccessible. The situation left him shocked and devastated, especially as he had sacrificed his essential items with hopes of financial improvement through online trading.
In the emotional post, he said: “I joined Cbex with an investment of $313 just yesterday, Wednesday. However, this evening, I found out that people can no longer withdraw their money today.”
“The painful part is that I sold my phone and some other belongings to join this trade. Please, I need help. Cbex, don’t go yet!”
Following the viral nature of his post, several social media users weighed in on the matter, offering mixed reactions that ranged from empathy to warnings about the risks associated with unverified online investment platforms. Many shared similar experiences while others urged caution and proper research before investing online.
