Investment ads using the image of Hakeem Olajuwon
Hakeem Olajuwon is a victim of impersonation: their image appears in investment platform ads with no sign that they authorised it. If you saw an ad, interview or video of Hakeem Olajuwon recommending an investment, it is almost certainly fake.
We have seen their image in 2 ads for 1 platform in Nigeria, between November 9, 2026 and November 10, 2026.

- Do not pay anything else, even if they ask for "taxes" or "fees" to release your money.
- Call your bank today: block your card and request a chargeback or a transfer recall. The sooner, the better your chances.
- Do not install anything they ask for (AnyDesk, TeamViewer…). If you did, uninstall it and change your passwords.
- Report it to the police and your country’s regulator, and keep screenshots, emails and phone numbers.
- Beware of "fund recovery" companies that will contact you promising to get your money back for a fee: they are almost always a second scam.
