The Econmic and Financial Crimes Commision EFCC, has confirmed ongoing surveillance on the MMM investment scheme.
EFCC spokesman, Wilson Uwujaren, gave this indication in an interviewwith Daily Post on the sidelines of a training programme in Port Harcourt.
Uwujaren, however said the House of Representatives cannot direct the EFCC to investigate what he described as faceless wonder bank like MMM.
He said the anti-graft agency was also watching other online schemes that promise huge returns on investments.
The EFCC spokesman said preliminary investigations have shown that such online schemes thrive in countries that are facing economic recession. He however, warned that there was big chance of desperate subscribers on such platforms of losing their investment.
"We can only arrest people based on evidence that we have. The House made a resolution but the resolution is a public announcement.
"We have always been advising people not to patronize wonder banks because experience has shown that their activities are not suitable. If you get involved in it, you will eventually get hurt. What we are currently doing is to sensitize people.
