Weeks after abruptly shutting down and disappearing with hundreds of thousands of dollars belonging to Nigerian investors, the controversial digital investment platform Crypto Bridge Exchange (CBEX) has reportedly resumed operations across the country.
According to multiple investors, operators of the fraudulent platform are now urging victims to log back into their CBEX accounts with claims that their previously lost funds have been restored.
One investor told Peoples Gazette, “Someone asked me to check my CBEX account this morning, saying our balances were back,” while also providing a screenshot as proof of the supposedly returned funds.
However, this unexpected reactivation comes with a catch. Victims have been told they must pay a $200 fee to reactivate their accounts before they can access or withdraw any funds — a move many suspect is part of an ongoing scam tactic.
CBEX had earlier been exposed as a Ponzi scheme after abruptly halting operations and vanishing with investors’ money, raising fresh concerns about the platform’s credibility and intentions with its latest comeback.
