When people search for investment education online, they encounter a wide array of courses, training programs, and educational offerings. Among them, however, there are schemes and promoters who try to present these programs as quick paths to high returns. They claim investors can start earning up to 100% per year after a short training session. Such promises are a red flag, because they often end with financial losses for the investor. A senior figure from Russia’s financial supervision body, Dmitry Evteev, explained to socialbites.ca that this is a leading method of deceit in today’s stock markets. [Attribution: Newspapers.Ru]
The risk is not limited to a single trick. Scammers may first take payment for lessons and then vanish. In other cases, they exploit payment details already entered on a site to steal funds from a victim’s debit account.
A third tactic involves coaching the client to invest in the stock market or the foreign exchange market for a while. The scammer teaches the basics and allows the person to practice in a demo environment, sometimes even convincing the investor that daily profits will multiply. Then the fraudster pressures the victim to invest all savings or to use borrowed money. When the investor tries to withdraw, there is a deliberate obstruction or technical fault that prevents access to funds.
To reduce the likelihood of falling prey to such schemes, Evteev recommends engaging only with reputable sources. That means learning through licensed brokers or established exchanges such as those recognized in major markets. Legitimate education platforms emphasize risk awareness, clear fee structures, and verifiable accreditation.
