When searching for “investment education” online, you can find many different courses, training, and educational programs. Under the guise of such programs, scammers are hiding and may be ready to offer “quick and effective training, thanks to which the investor will begin to earn up to 100% per year.” As a result, the investor loses money. Dmitry Evteev, an expert at the Main Directorate of the Central Federal District of the Bank of Russia, told socialbites.ca about this and called this scheme one of the main methods of deception on the stock exchange at the moment.
He noted that scammers may take prepayments for lessons and disappear. Or fraudsters can steal money from the investor’s debit card if the person has provided full details on the website.
The third scenario assumes that scammers teach the client to invest in the stock market or Forex market for a while. The investor masters the basics, plays the stock market in demo mode, and investments double every day. Scammers then persuade the victim to invest all their savings or even use loan money. When a person wants to withdraw money, he will not be able to do so due to “failure”.
To avoid becoming a victim of scammers, Evteev recommends training only on reliable sites. For example, from a licensed broker or the Moscow Stock Exchange.
