FOREX Scams are big business. So is Forex. It’s the mother of all markets. Over $2 trillion dollars is exchanged on the Forex currency market every day and so with all that money around, it’s no surprise that there are scammers everywhere. You don’t hear of too many scams in the Bonsai tree market, do you?
There is a forex scam problem in the education section of the market in particular, because it isn’t as regulated as the other sections - forex dealer, broker, institution side. Eventhough, as we have shown you in the leverage example, their whole business model too is based around the transfer of money out of your account into theirs. Anyway, these so called “forex gurus” that show you how to make a killing following their trading systems spring up all the time and no one can really keep them in check.
Here is a quick 1 minute test that you can do to spot if a product, company or a “guru” is a forex scam. Don’t do or buy anything until you do this:
Go to google and search:
"name of product/person" and forums. "name of product/person" and refund. "name of product/person" and sucks. "name of product/person" and scam.
People who have been scammed, usually complain in forex chat forums. People who want to purchase forex products also visit these forums to hear the opinions of others. There are also a few independent websites around which keep tabs on these scammers. You’ll dig up a lot of good, quick information and if you don’t and the company or product has been around in the market for a while, you are most likely fine and it’s all legitimate.
Other things to do? Use Common Sense.
* Price.
If they’re selling an educational product and the price is too low it could be a ‘teaser’ type, meaning they’re trying to catch you only to sell you something more expensive later. If its way too expensive – it’s an automatic red flag.
* Refund.
If there is no money back guarantee, don’t even bother. Move on.
* Pages.
Don’t be fooled by pages. If they are advertising their product with “You Get 14352” pages as their main selling point, it’s a forex scam. They’ve more likely than not copied the information from some freely available place where you could find it as well. There is probably no original content there. Why would it take someone 14534 pages to explain something that they’re supposedly an “expert” about?
* The old one.
Usually if it sounds too good to be true; it probably is. Those who overpromise, underdeliver. If they promise large profits in short periods of time, its a forex scam. On the other hand, see the difference
