How investment frauds occur

They act as if they’re legitimate

Investment scammers are expert manipulators. They masquerade as licensed brokers, financial advisors, or fund managers—drawing you in with polished websites, professional brochures, and genuine-sounding company names. Everything appears legitimate, so why wouldn’t you believe them?

Next follow the demands

Initially, the returns seem promising. You make a small deposit and watch your investment grow. Your confidence increases—until they push you to invest more. A bigger chance. A rare opportunity. But the company doesn’t actually exist, and the funds you sent have vanished into their hands.

After that, they vanish

Suddenly, the contact ceases. Withdrawals are frozen. Your savings vanish, leaving you to deal with the fallout. But you’re not alone—thousands are caught in investment scams annually. What matters now is taking action. Let’s work together to recover what’s rightfully yours.

Ways to identify an investment scam

Red flags to watch

Scammers frequently reach out unexpectedly, offering exclusive investment opportunities that claim little or no risk. They use aggressive tactics to rush you into quick decisions and discourage independent research. Another warning sign is unrealistic promises like guaranteed high returns or risk-free investments—legitimate companies never make such claims.

Ways they focus on you

Social media has become a prime hunting ground for scammers. Sites like Facebook, Instagram, and X are filled with fake investment offers crafted to appear authentic. Fraudsters build convincing profiles, sometimes impersonating financial experts like Martin Lewis or even reputable financial institutions to lure you into fraudulent investments.

Ways to keep yourself safe

Always verify that a financial company is ICA-regulated before sending money. Never transfer funds to someone you don’t trust, and be cautious of high-pressure sales or unexpected investment offers—especially ones promising guaranteed returns. If something seems suspicious, trust your gut and step away.
