　　The victim above who did not want to disclose its identity shared this with the members of the group seeking help. The victim was approached by 48 Hours FX Trade Limited on Instagram and was lured to start investing with this broker. After making an initial deposit of $100 and getting $50 in return, the victim saw this as a good avenue to make money.

　　The broker then asked the victim to add more money but since it was not in a position to, the broker offered to assist with the promise of a refund. The victim went on to make a killing of $7000. And then the victim was asked to register with $500 for him to access the funds.

　　It was after this that the broker kept on asking for more money and even the money the victim had made disappeared. To recover the money the victim was asked to pay another $1000 but the light had dawned on him that this was a scam and he refused.

　　After all this, the victim reached out to this group for help but at the writing of this article no one had come through for him. The victim's first $100 and then a follow-up investment of $500 was nowhere to be seen.

　　No Regulation
