A netizen on X has reacted to the news revealing that thousands of Ghanaian youth have reportedly lost millions of cedis in an alleged fraudulent investment scheme called the Creative Walker Promotion Company (CWPC).
CWPC is a global digital marketing company headquartered in Sydney, Australia, and has been trending on social media over the past few days.
Ghanaian social media users are alleging that their funds have been locked with CWPC, triggering commotion on social media as they call for their investments to be returned.
Some netizens have alleged that CWPC operates like a Ponzi scheme, claiming investors receive returns from new deposits rather than legitimate business profits.
In a post shared by SIKAOFFICIAL on X stated, “Thousands of Ghanaian youth have reportedly lost millions of cedis in an alleged fraudulent investment scheme, CWPC, which promised investors huge returns by completing daily tasks in exchange for rewards.
The scheme was widely marketed to unsuspecting victims as a legitimate investment platform, with assurances of guaranteed profits within weeks of making deposits”.
The netizen noted that every year Ghana go through the same painful cycle of Ponzi schemes, citing MenzGold, MMM, Loom, among others.
In a long post on X, the netizen wrote, “Every few years, Ghana seems to go through the same painful cycle.
A new “investment company” appears out of nowhere. People post screenshots of unbelievable returns. Friends convince friends. Family members recruit each other.
WhatsApp groups become financial seminars overnight. Anyone asking questions is dismissed as being negative or not understanding the opportunity.
Then one day…
Withdrawals stop.
Offices close.
Phone numbers go off.
The social media pages stop responding.
And thousands of people realize their life savings are gone.
Many of us remember the MenzGold era. Others still remember D9 Club, MMM Ghana, TelexFree, Loom, Sidicoin and several other schemes that promised wealth without corresponding value being created. Each one had a different story, a different business model, a different excuse, but the ending was almost always the same.
Now the latest conversations are about #CWPC, with heartbreaking stories already emerging. Some people reportedly claim to have lost tens of thousands of cedis. Whether it’s GH¢5,000 or GH¢80,000, that kind of loss can wipe out years of hard work.
Here’s the thing. Ponzi schemes don’t survive because the math works. They survive because human psychology never changes.
‼️ Greed.
‼️ FOMO.
‼️ Desperation.
The belief that “this one is different.”
The desire to make money faster than everyone else.
The operators understand this better than anyone. They know that once people start posting successful withdrawals, others will rush in without asking where the profits are actually coming from.
There are no magic investments paying outrageous returns every week or every month with little or no risk. If those returns were genuinely sustainable, they wouldn’t need your money from a WhatsApp group or Telegram channel.
The sad part is that every collapse creates two victims.
The people who lose their savings.
And the people whose relationships are destroyed because they convinced friends, spouses, church members and colleagues to invest.
Before putting your money anywhere, ask simple questions.
Where is the profit actually coming from?
Is the business regulated?
Can the model survive if new investors stop joining tomorrow?
If you can’t clearly answer those questions, that’s your answer.
Making money slowly isn’t exciting. But losing everything overnight is far worse.
We’ve been here before. Hopefully, we don’t have to learn the same lesson again.
‼️‼️ #CWPC is a Ponzi Scheme!”
