Investment Scams

So many of us are looking for reliable investment firms in order to get a passive income.

However, the one thing that we don’t really consider, is that there is so many investment frauds on the internet. Nowadays you can see a lot of so-called investment websites promising unrealistic daily or monthly returns. Their ads are everywhere on search results and social medias and you should be extremely careful before investing in such companies.

You should make sure that you are getting as much information as possible about the investment firm and that it is regulateds by a reliable authority such as the United Kingdom’s FCA or the Cyprus’ CySEC. This is the only way to be sure that your investment is going to be legit. 

Unregulated investment companies are dangerous

You might think that this is a great profit opportunity to invest in an unregulated investment firm after seeing huge returns advertised. However, there are a couple of things that you should know about these investments scheme.

Unregulated means that there isn’t any regulation authority that is checking the investment for irregularities and fraudulent practices. Meaning that the investors can scam you without you even knowing about it. Moreover, recovering your funds are going to be even harder. There is a good reason why you should only invest in a regulated investment firm. Of course return rates are going to be lower, but at least realistic.

These scams are done for years

If you think that this is a new thing, then you should think again. If you are looking at the history of investments, you will see that investment fraud is going way back. Fraudsters saw the chance of investment scams for the year. Even before there was internet access.

Now, you can do research about the investment to see if this is a regulated firm and if this is something that you can invest in or not. Especially when it comes to basically giving your hard earned money to some online strangers websites to manage it.
