The Platinum Forex scam in South Africa tricked many people by promising big monthly profits, but it was really a Ponzi scheme that used new investors’ money to pay old ones. Led by a trusted pastor, the scam mixed faith with finance, making people believe their savings were safe. When the scheme collapsed, investors lost millions, and many faced deep personal and financial pain. The case showed how important it is to be careful with money, ask questions, and have strong rules to stop fraud. It’s a powerful reminder that trust can be broken easily and must be protected.
