Investment scams
Find out about the tricks fraudsters use to steal money through advertising fake investments.
Too good to be true
It’s not easy to make money when it comes to investing. Finding a genuine deal that’s right for you takes time and effort.
Scammers often take advantage of popular social media platforms like Facebook and search engines like Google to advertise fake investments. These offers can be dangerous because they often promise huge returns that aren’t genuine.
And as the saying goes, if it seems too good to be true then it probably is.
Don’t hand over your money
‘Expert investors’ aren’t always what they seem
Be careful with money transfers. Scammers may pose as investment experts, enticing you into cryptocurrency schemes with promises of quick, high returns. They often pressure you to send money to a so-called secure account, then disappear with your funds. Always stay vigilant and avoid sending money to anyone you don’t know or trust.
Protect your personal information. Fraudsters may claim they can help you set up profitable investments, using legitimate platforms to appear credible. They might ask for your login details or create accounts using your information without consent. Once they gain access, they can steal your funds. Always be cautious and never share your personal details with anyone you don’t fully trust.
