Official Announcement Regarding Prohibited Exchange Platforms

Date: April 8, 2025

Location: Juba, South Sudan

Subject: Prohibition of Certain Exchange Platforms

This announcement serves to inform all users and stakeholders of the immediate prohibition of the following exchange platforms from our services:

  • PCEX
  • Global Investment Group

    • This decision has been made following a comprehensive and diligent review process that identified these platforms as posing a significant risk to the security and integrity of our ecosystem and the safety of our users’ assets. Our paramount concern is to provide a secure and trustworthy environment for all participants. Platforms that exhibit characteristics indicative of fraudulent activities, lack adequate security protocols, or demonstrate a high likelihood of illicit behavior will not be tolerated. The financial landscape, while offering innovative opportunities, is unfortunately also susceptible to malicious actors and schemes. Fraudulent exchanges often employ deceptive tactics to lure unsuspecting individuals, resulting in substantial financial losses and compromising personal information. These platforms may exhibit one or more of the following red flags:

  • Unrealistic Promises: Offering guaranteed returns or exceptionally high profits that are unsustainable and not in line with market realities.
  • Lack of Transparency: Providing little to no verifiable information about their team, physical address, regulatory compliance, or security measures.
  • Suspicious Website and Interface: Featuring poor design, grammatical errors, or lacking essential security features and customer support channels.
  • Aggressive Solicitation: Employing unsolicited outreach, pressure tactics, or referral schemes that resemble pyramid or Ponzi structures.
  • Irregular Transaction Behavior: Exhibiting unusual trading volumes or patterns that suggest manipulation or artificial inflation.
  • Demands for Unusual Payments: Requesting deposits or withdrawals through unconventional methods or in ways that bypass standard security protocols.
  • Reported Scam Activity: Evidence of past or ongoing fraudulent activities, negative user reviews, or warnings from regulatory bodies.
  • Lack of Regulatory Compliance: Failure to register with relevant financial authorities or adhere to anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) standards.

    • Our commitment to your safety necessitates proactive measures to identify and restrict access to platforms that do not meet our stringent security and compliance standards. We continuously monitor the ecosystem and user feedback to identify potential risks and take appropriate action.

    We strongly advise our users to exercise extreme caution and conduct thorough due diligence before engaging with any exchange platform. This includes verifying their registration status, reviewing independent user feedback, scrutinizing their security protocols, and being wary of any promises that appear too good to be true.

    If you have encountered PCEX or Global Investment Group, or have any concerns about the legitimacy of any other platform, we urge you to report it to our support team immediately. Your vigilance plays a crucial role in maintaining a safe and reliable environment for everyone.

    Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work to protect our community.

    Sincerely,

    ​
    Sarafa Management
