There are a
number of forex scams that unsuspecting investors find themselves in thus
making them loss a lot of money and develop negative perceptions about online
trading. These scams include activities such as:-
·
Opening
customer account on fake websites
·
Selling
money making software
·
Huge
profit claims by a customer etc
Most of
these scams are heavily advertised on radio, internet, television and even
newspapers. Their aim it to prey on vulnerable investors who are in need of
making quick money. But most of the best forex brokers will give you the proper guidance needed to navigate through
all these scams. You also need to take caution and use your reasoning to avoid
some of the scams. Below are ways one can use to detect and avoid getting scammed:-
Opportunities that are too good to be true
If you hear
about certain companies promising overnight riches using their system, be very
careful and avoid them as a plague. Even though it is
possible to make a lot of money in the short term, this is not always the case.
People who make such promises are keen on taking your hard earned cash and then
disappear never to be seen again.
Companies that make guarantees on profit
Trading in
forex is a skill that is acquired over a period of time and different people
will get different results. There is no way a company can promise that if you
use their system, then you are guaranteed to make a certain percentage of
profits. These profit claims are dirty tricks to lure you to give them your
money.
Avoid trading on margins
The best forex brokers will advise you to
avoid trading on margins unless you are experienced and you fully understand
the risks that come with trading margins. Margins should be left for those who
have the time and the experience to closely monitor trades and avoid making
substantial losses.
You should
also avoid dealing with companies that you are unable to get their background
information or you have no idea about their past track records. In most cases,
such companies will turn out to be briefcase companies whose main aim is to
take your money then disappear.
