Scam Alert: Financial Sector Watchdog Warns Against WhatsApp
Abstract：The Financial Sector Conduct Authority has warned the public to stay away from a firm called Worldwide Investments, which it says is using a WhatsApp group to take money from the public on the pretext that it will trade in forex on their behalf.
“The said entity uses a WhatsApp group and takes money from the members of the public and promises to trade in forex and when its time to pay back they block you,” the Financial Sector Conduct Authority said in a statement issued on Tuesday.
Worldwide Investments is neither an authorised Financial Services Provider nor a representative of an authorised Financial Services Provider, the FSCA said. There are no records of an application by Worldwide Investments to become one, either, the regulator added.
WhatsApp scams have been in the spotlight recently, with the R200 WhatsApp stokvel making headlines. Many members of the public have complained of joining up, only to be blocked or met with silence when the time came for their payout.
It urged consumers who wish to conduct financial services with an institution or person to check their legitimacy beforehand with the FSCA on either the toll free number (0800 110 443) or online.
The National Stokvel Association of SA (Nasasa) has warned South African consumers that the WhatsApp stokvel likely operates in similar fashion to a pyramid scheme, with only the first few members to join receiving a payout.

Inzo Broker Review 2025: A Complete Look at Features, Costs and User Claims
Inzo Broker presents itself as a modern forex and CFD broker, started in 2021 and registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. At first glance, it offers an attractive package for traders: access to the popular MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and cTrader platforms, different types of accounts for various budget levels, and a wide selection of assets to trade. These features are made to attract both new and experienced traders. However, a closer look shows a big difference between these advertised benefits and the real risks. The broker works under an offshore regulatory system, which gives limited protection to investors. More importantly, Inzo has collected many serious user complaints, especially about withdrawing funds and changing trading conditions unfairly. This mix of weak oversight and serious user claims creates a high-risk situation that potential clients must carefully think about. This review will break down these parts to give a clear, fact-based view.
