Investment scams usually follow predictable patterns. Of course, they’re scams! These include mouthwatering offers like quick returns, unbelievably high yields (ROIs), promises of little to no risks, and such. It is good to be wary of offers like these, and keep in mind that if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably isn’t true. Most investment scams want people to feel the urgency in their offers, so people either don’t have the time to research on them, or don’t bother anyway. They bank on people’s Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) to rob them of their money. For this reason, before committing to any investment, seek professional financial and legal advice from an FCA or PRA registered financial advisor or fraud prevention and management organization.
"The following are some common types of investment scams to watch out for: Cryptocurrency scams: it is hard to differentiate legitimate cryptocurrency investments from scams. This is what scammers take advantage of. They contact people out of the blue and offer them juicy investment opportunities that promise high returns in a short period with little to no financial risk. They usually require one to bring in new people and thus promise recruitment rewards. These types of investments are usually Ponzi schemes, in which new users are paid with funds from existing users. They are not real investments and will surely collapse when the influx of new users stops. The administrator(s) will disappear and unpaid funds will be irrecoverable.
Romance baiting: the scammer creates a fake dating account and connects with users on a dating website, app, or social media. Once a little familiarity is established, the scammer asks to continue chatting away from the dating website or app, claiming to need privacy. "The scammer’s game is to build trust, after which they will introduce an investment opportunity to users, stating themselves as witnesses to the legitimacy of the investment. You are first expected to deposit a small amount to ‘test the waters. You will definitely see a quick return from this, after which you are asked to invest bigger or top up your account. But though you see your returns in your ‘investment account’, you are unable to withdraw your funds, and when you try to ask why, the scammer ceases all forms of communication with you, and your funds become irretrievable," states Infrawhite.
Celebrity endorsement scams: scammers also use the name, image, and personality of popular celebrities to entice people into investing. A celebrity’s image may appear in a pop-up ad claiming to endorse an investment opportunity or that they have made money from it themselves. This is usually without the knowledge of the celebrities themselves and is mostly false.
How Does One Identify Investment Scams?
The promise of high returns with low risk involved: again, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is not true. If returns are ‘guaranteed’ with enticingly ‘high returns’, it is probably a scam. Unsolicited contacts: an unknown person usually contacts members, introducing investment opportunities that one can’t possibly ignore. Those are the types to ignore.
High pressure: Membebrs are made to believe they need to act quickly so as not to miss out. The Fear of missing out (FOMO) is a great tool for scammers, and one should avoid it.
Lack of proper registration credentials: when a financial advisor contacts targets from a website that does not have proper credentials from financial licensing organizations, then it is probably a scam.
How to Avoid Getting Scammed Do proper research: before committing to any type of investment, do some research, and confirm that the company is duly registered. One can check FCA’s list of companies to confirm this.
Do not click links from unknown sources: these can be malware sent by scammers to collect one's personal information.
Contact a recovery intelligence company: these are companies that can retrieve funds and investments lost to scams. A good example is Infrawhite Limited https://www.infrawhitelimited.com/
Protect online presence: Use two-factor authentication (2FA) on accounts and malware protection on devices to protect them from being accessed by scammers.
