For Nigerians hoping to have a good Yuletide celebrations by cashing out of Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox (MMM), their plans may have to be revised as the alleged Ponzi scheme has frozen accounts of its participants in Nigeria for one monnth.

The operators of the scheme said in a message sent to all subscribers that the measure was put in place because “in the New Year season the System is experiencing heavy workload.”

During the period – December 12 to January 12 – none of the participants would be able to ‘get help’ (withdraw funds deposited with the mandatory 30% interest). But it is unclear if they would be able to ‘provide help’.

Nigerian government and the media were also blamed for creating a sense of fear in the minds of MMM subscribers, which the founder of the scheme Sergey Mavrodi said was due to lack of knowledge of how MMM works.

“Moreover, it has to deal with the constant frenzy provoked by the authorities in the mass media,” MMM said in the message.

In his open letter to the Nigerian government recently, Mavrodi advised that MMM should be strengthened to help Nigerians thrive and redistribute wealth. He insisted that MMM was not shady and that all participants were informed of the risks involved at the point of registration.

“You say that MMM is bad. Why? Yes, it produces nothing, but nothing gets out of the country either,” Mavrodi said. “The money is just redistributed among the citizens of Nigeria. It gets from those who are richer to poorer ones, in this way restoring social justice. What”s wrong with that?”

But some participants of the scheme are not losing sleep over the freezing of accounts, claiming that the same measure was put in place in December 2015.

    ???????

    What this pause mode simply means is that instead of your mavro being unfrozen after 14 days like before, it will now be unfrozen by 30 days simple. Now this update will ve to take effect within 48 hours before GH will start working!!

    Merry Christmas in advance n hapi new year

      Peter, if your explanation is that the mavro unfreezes after 30days instead of the normal 14days, then why would it affect someone who PHed since Nov 12 and it just completed one month yesterday, and today I still can’t GH today 13th. This is a very bad and poor decision. I referred a friend, and he Phed since Nov, and was paired to get help since Dec 10th, the participants had called that he will pay today, this morning he now said he was not paying again, mmm can block the account if they want. Now who will be willing to make actual payment with this news even by Jan, who will pay. They would not have done this now. Manage the rush, so as to avoid scaring people away. And why freeze a mavro that is already one month old. They could have said we should cash out only amount PHed without the interest. Why freeze my main money, do they have any idea the use of that money. Weda spare or not, to some Nigeria the spare money is the only money. This is poor and wrong move. South Africa did this same freeze, it cameback but it’s not as strong as before the Freeze. People didn’t join again. It’s sad n poor decision. My money is doubtful and how do u explain this to someone who just registered and has paid out without any GH yet.

      • Author’s gravatar

        It’s true bro. I also have a frd I introduced and I have no choice than to explain to her all the issues. I believe we will overcome this, don’t let us give room for the media to disunite us.

        This Christmas period everyone would want to GH and that won’t be good for the system, so this freezing will control the rate of GH and make it orderly.

        Note: people GH mostly only on Tuesday and Thursday, but now people will be GHing daily as soon as their mavro is released; and you know everybody’s mavro won’t be released on the same day, therefore there’s bound to be controlled GH.

        SO TELL YOUR DOWNLINES:
        for those whose mavro is up to one month but you can’t GH, don’t worry; within 24 hours the eligible ones will be released so they can GH.

        The system has to freeze all at the same time (both the eligible and ineligible ones) so that it’ll then take time to release the ones up to 30 days.

        NOTE: all these are measures to ensure that MMM stays alive till and beyond 2017.

        Our rush to GH has now been slowed down, for the sustainability of our community.

        MMM pays! Together we build the world!!

        I agree, I suggest the best way to have done this is to give a minimum amout that can be withdrawl in this season. The flow form Ph to Gh has been obstructed, and will create fear in Nigerians. I can tell you by Jan12 everybody wants to get their money who wants to provide help.

    I believe guardian newspaper … Said right this time. To cap it all…Even Govt reduces salary with 20% … My salary too was reduced. May God help Nigerian Govt.Back to MMM, I will say instead of normal unfrozen of 14 days… It will now be 30days before unfrozen of accounts.. That’s the difference. So MMM has not crashed but frozen GH only..

  • Author’s gravatar

    Crash system is when we log in and do not see the website, Ultimate cycle went offline without informing her members. MMM has given us the reason why they did what they have done. We need to Trust them and believe that the overall Success of the Community is paramount to them. Remember we don’t pay to MMM we pay ourselves so what do they gain if they close down the site? Be encouraged and plan towards GHing after the three weeks, if you have been matched to pay trust the system and please go ahead and pay while watching your Mavro grow to be withdrawn after three weeks from today. So PH and PH while your mavro grows.

        Dont mind him. Enemy of progress…Ask him to declare his passport and you will see he hasnt even crossed the shores of Nigeria. All of you who wish bad for Mavrodians..You will reap it in that measure. Simple.

          Does he even have passport. This are people that desire to run to other countries while the nation is in a deep mess. They claim to be patriotic but desire poverty for all.

    10 humble advice to all mmm participant.
    (1) No panic; they are trying to protect the system from failure.Even banks ATm is having issue of payments this festive period.
    (2)MMM is still active; please note that if the system is faulty there will not be any information about their decision, the site can not open .
    (3)Duty call to all Guilders; Is time to defend wat u have been benefiting from.
    (4) System upgrade; the programmer’s will have time to trash all issue going on in the system.eg fpop,moratorium,change of guilder,quick confirmation of payment, active phone numbers. etc.
    (5)Already Matched participant; kindly do the needful to avoid being the spare goat,cos all issue will be attended to this period.
    (6)Issues; kindly advice any participant with issue to write or remind support now as this is the best time to be attended to.
    (7) Discipline; Mmm is a system that is trying to teach people(mostly Nigeria) to be discipline.
    (8)Patience; u must imbibe the spirit of patience while participating in mmm
    (9) Call center is coming up soon.
    (10)Spare money;Use ur spare money.

    Together we guild the world to a better 2mo

    • Author’s gravatar

      God will bless you sir!. please reiterate ‘spare money’ in their ears and to their eyes. MMM HAS NOT CRASHED!!!! Please don’t advocate baseless rumours nor promote poverty among yourselves as Nigerians. IF MMM will stay it lies in our hands, if it will crash thats because we allowed the poverty lovers to instill fear in us and take to our heels back to poverty.

    MMM hasn’t crashed Don’t mind the Bad Belles . I am a participant, and my 1 million naira was also frozen, why am I at ease? I know what they are doing. MMM lies in the hands of Nigerians, its progress lies in our hands, we stop providing or getting help we crash the system with our own hands..please excercise patience while they deal with the task at hand till january and MMM will be back and better with even more bonuses!!!

    Why will you ( Guardian News ) want to spread panic among citizens of this nation with false news and information. Y ou say MMM freezes participants account. What is the meaning of that. The meaning of what you have just said is that participants can no loner log into their, information/data in the accounts erased etc. But thats not the case in MMM. We can still log into our PO as normal, see our Mavros growing as normal, nothing changed in the system. We are only told that our Mavros cant be GHed now until one month. Its for our own good so we dont GH now cos of Xmas. Its like saving for the rainy day in January. So please fellow Mavrodians, dont panic. Its all to our benefit. Media houses please stop spreading false info about MMM that can cause PANIC.

    I can read the bandwagon trying to assure all Mumus that are throwing their hard earned money at MMM. A fly that has no ears is buried with the corpse. Of course MMM was going to collapse. It was only a matter of time. But, a Mumu is a Mumu. There are even educated Mumus pouring millions into MMM. There is no compensation to greed. Hard work still remains the pathway to success.

    Well, I heard of MMM since but I’m just wondering why the Administrators have to freeze accounts of nigerians when they know December and January are periods of celebration. How do they expect people to buy chicken and rice now and sew new dresses and take their children to bar beach?

    I have no idea what this giant scheme is. Nigerians suffer too much from inferiority complex. Anything from oyibo is the best. I dont know what EFCC and the ministry of finance is doing about the thorough investigation of Mr Mavrodi who is helping the Nigerian government to redistribute her wealth amongst its people.Every crooks all over the world are finding their ways into the corrupt Nigerian system to make a kill !!!!!! They know Nigerians like fast money with little work and they also believe in miracles. Mavrodi even has the guts to be threatening the government !!!! may be he should go back to his country to help his government redistribute their wealth after all there are so many poor people in RUSSIA !!!!!!!!!

      Let Nigeria stock exchange explain to Nigeria citizens why they delisted some companies and placed some on technical suspension since 2009.
      People who bought those companies shares/stocks can’t sell it to get back even 5% of their original money till now. Is that not scam from government. Why criticise MMM when the government have done worse. If mmm Nigeria did not come, by now most IPOs and stock advertisements will be in the media. A means of stealing the people savings.

    This is a mere show of laziness, lack of focus combined with foolishness. MMM is total rubbish, Mavrodi dare try this with Putin! Social justice, helping to redistribute wealth. We’ll see the end come January 12.

      Surely we will all see January 12. You will see ur mates succeeding and ur mouth will be shut. What do the bank use ur money to do? Total rubbish. They buy exotic cars while poor masses suffer.

        Which system do you know that we don’t know? You’re joking with your hard earned money and people are trying to open your eyes to reality, yet you refuse to listen. This is common sense, you don’t become overnight except you steal or do funny things like Ponzi schemes. Lets see if you will continue to “get help” from your MMM by January, it’s just around the corner. If you’re angry with Bankers, start one. If you want to steal like senators and government officials, join a political party and be one hnmmm. Stop using that as your excuse for joining MMM. I wish you good luck.

    It is the insecurity with which our financial institutions are pelted with that is causing all these. Just recently in Enugu state, customers lynched, or attempted to lynch a “money doubler” all in the name of making millionaires out of the poor masses – what happend next is anyone’s guess. Customers could no longer withdraw their money from their account, the owner, his associates and his employees went into hiding – but before then, they have all acquired for themselves flying cars and duplexes all over Enugu, Nigeria and overseas. I have not followed this story to completion so not sure how it all ended. The point is simply, I am not surprised with the South Africa ponzi on my people, you will ask the question why Nigerians will be so trustful to make deposits to an organisation based in South Africa but your answer is just here at home – consider the Enugu example and even some of our approved and regulated financial institutions. Yes, I agree, if you are easily enticed by being promised to get 150% returns having only invested 1.5% in any type of business then I am sorry you have a serious greed problem and I have no sympathy for such persons.But our financial institutions need a bucking up to check the tide. God help us.

    This is amazingly sad. Please read that link. Ponzi Schemes have been used for decades to trick people into losing their money. This is illegal in the US. The worst part, is that some of the people in ponzi schemes do well and those are the ones that support the scheme and are most vocal. Then most people end up losing their money.

    I randomly found out about this today while reading the news. Please feel free to respond with questions. I’m happy to answer. I work in finance in New York and just want to help with my knowledge of financial systems.

    I can’t force ignorant person to see the light through mmm Nigeria. But when Nigeria banks start to liquidate soon in this recession with only 100000 naira as insured deposits. There will be more hope for MMM participants whose mavro were frozen and they know from registration, that there are no guarantees, than for you that didn’t do mmm and saved your hard earned millions in a distressed Nigerian bank.
