STEP 4 OF 4
Signs of a scam
Be careful with “guaranteed daily return”, “deposit today”, or anyone asking you to send more money in order to withdraw. Check a broker’s name and licence with the official regulator; do not rely on screenshots or influencers.
AN EXAMPLE
Someone claims a 100% win rate but does not show their loss records, their costs or the legal name of their company. That is bragging, not proof.
RememberDo not rush to send money. Even if a firm is registered, trading profit is never guaranteed.
