A Nigerian man has taken to social media to share his painful experience after allegedly being duped out of $111,000 by a forex trader known as Habbyforex.
In a series of emotional posts published on his page through the popular platform X, the man described how his life was turned upside down after entrusting Habbyforex and his associate, Michael Udoh, with his hard-earned money.
According to him, what began as a promising investment quickly devolved into a nightmare, leaving him financially devastated with no acknowledgement or accountability from those responsible.
In his words, he expressed the pain and regret he’s been experiencing 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 went on to say that it wasn’t just Habbyforex who duped 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 claimed Michael Udoh painted a perfect picture of guaranteed success, only to leave him with nothing but disappointment 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 has revealed that his life has never been the same, with him dealing 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 dissatisfaction with the fabricated lifestyles depicted on social media, where people present a facade of wealth and success while victims like him 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 silent, the man vowed to fight until justice was served, claiming that he possessed all of the necessary evidence to expose the fraudulent activities.
“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 issued a direct warning to Habbyforex, emphasizing 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 additional evidence of the fraudulent activities, the man described how Habbyforex once took credit for a withdrawal he (the victim) made from his own account, which he found both insulting and indicative 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 described the most painful incident, in which Habbyforex lost $62,000 in a single trading session while publicly bragging 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 that Michael Udoh had maintained regular communication during the early stages of the investment but had vanished after the losses accumulated.
“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 sparked discussions online, with many users sharing their own experiences and calling for stricter regulations in the forex trading space to protect unsuspecting investors.
