But instead of getting the promised training, all they got were dashed hopes — and silence.
“I paid N500k, he disappeared” – victim speaks out
The alleged scam reportedly happened via Snapchat, where Faruk is said to have advertised exclusive bitcoin investment training and mentorship. Interested followers claimed they were asked to make payments in exchange for access to financial secrets.
One of the victims told the blogger:
“I paid N500,000 for this training. Till now, I’ve not heard anything. He stopped responding and blocked me.”
As the complaints mounted, angry victims took their frustration to Faruk’s Instagram page, calling him out in the comments and demanding a refund.
The pressure became so intense that he allegedly deactivated his account entirely to escape the heat.
Screenshots posted by the blogger showed DMs and payment receipts sent by victims, backing up their claims.
