Scammers are currently impersonating Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, the Chairman of Access Holdings Plc, to trick people into fake investment schemes.

They’ve created a WhatsApp group called “Value Focus Club 60” using this number: +234 915 708 8290, and even used his picture to make it look real.

Important things to know:

  • The Chairman is NOT on WhatsApp running any investment group
  • Access Holdings does NOT offer investment advice via WhatsApp
  • Any message claiming otherwise is 100% fake

A whistleblower actually spotted this and raised the alarm, so please don’t ignore this.

What you should do:

  • Don’t join the group or engage them
  • Don’t share your personal or banking details
  • Block and report the number on WhatsApp
  • Let others know so they don’t fall victim

The company is already working to shut it down, but awareness is key.
