A Nigerian man has taken to social media to share his bitter experience after allegedly being scammed of $111,000 by a forex trader identified as Habbyforex.
In a series of emotional posts made available on his page via the popular platform X, the man narrated how his life has been turned upside down after trusting Habbyforex and his associate, Michael Udoh, with his hard-earned money.
According to him, what started as a promising investment quickly spiraled into a nightmare, leaving him in financial ruin with no acknowledgment or accountability from those responsible.
In his words, he expressed the pain and regret he's been living with for the past three years:
"I never thought I'd be in this position my entire life, waking up every day with regret, replaying the moment I put my trust in the wrong people. I gave @Habbyforex_ $111,000 of my hard-earned money, believing it was in the right hands, but instead, he wiped it out like it was nothing. And the worst part? He didn't even have the decency to acknowledge the damage he's done. Just silence for 3 years."
The aggrieved investor further revealed that it wasn't just Habbyforex who lured him into the failed investment but also his partner, Michael Udoh, who allegedly played a major role in convincing him.
"And it wasn't just him. Of course, his best partner in crime @askmichaeludoh sweet-talked me into this, convincing me to invest with Infinox through Habby."
Describing the tactics used to gain his trust, he said Michael Udoh painted a perfect picture of guaranteed success, only for him to end up with nothing but loss and emotional trauma.
"He made it sound so sweet, like a deceitful marketer would - ready to suck his client's blood. He promised everything: security, growth, success. But all I got was loss, betrayal, and pain that words can't fully describe."
Since losing his money, the man disclosed that his life has never been the same, as he's been left to struggle with anxiety, sleepless nights, and the crushing weight of his financial losses - all while the alleged perpetrators continue to live lavishly.
"Since this happened, my life has never been the same. Sleepless nights, constant anxiety, the crushing weight of knowing that everything I worked for is gone. I have had to face difficult conversations with family, make sacrifices I never planned for, and deal with the emotional and financial wreckage alone - while Habby, who is responsible for all this, carries on with his life, buying all kinds of luxury as if nothing happened."
He went on to express his frustration with the fake lifestyles portrayed on social media, where people create a facade of wealth and success while leaving victims like him to suffer in silence.
"What hurts even more is how people pretend on social media. They post like they are successful, trustworthy, and professional, but the reality behind closed doors is completely different. They show off a perfect image, while people like me are left to suffer in silence because we trusted them."
Refusing to remain quiet, the man vowed to fight until justice is served, insisting that he has all the necessary evidence to expose the fraudulent dealings.
"But I won't stay silent. I have everything - the agreement, the account statements, all the evidence. I will not be ignored ever again."
He added a direct warning to Habbyforex, making it clear that accountability would eventually catch up with him.
"And let me be clear, I will never stop until I get justice. No matter how long it takes, no matter what I have to do, I will make sure the truth prevails. You can ignore me, Habby @Habbyforex_, but you will not escape accountability."
Providing further proof of the fraudulent activities, the man shared how Habbyforex once took credit for a withdrawal he (the victim) made from his own account - an incident he found both insulting and telling of the trader's deceptive tactics.
"Imagine - this wasn't even his withdrawal. I was the one who withdrew this money, but of course, for him, it was a chance to brag about how good of a trader he is to deceive people. That's my account - same account number and everything - and that's the proof when the money dropped in my Binance."
He also recounted the most painful incident - a day when Habbyforex suffered a staggering $62,000 loss in a single trading session yet still had the audacity to publicly brag about a fake withdrawal.
"Another one, of course. This is the worst one of all because he had the guts to post and brag about a withdrawal I made, not him. And that was the day he closed at a ridiculous loss of -$62,000 in one day. How pathetic!"
Concluding his rant, the man revealed how Michael Udoh had maintained regular communication during the initial stages of the investment but disappeared after the losses piled up.
"These are deposits done to @askmichaeludoh's Infinox. I remember Michael would give me a call every single weekend, asking how family and everything was. But when his boy did what he had to do, of course, he turned away."
The victim's emotional outburst has since sparked conversations online, with many users sharing similar experiences and calling for stricter regulations within the forex trading space to protect unsuspecting investors.
