Forex Scam

Any investment opportunity has its scams. The Forex Scam seems to have increased in popularity in the past year, trapping unwitting victims and leaving them poor.

Basically, you can smell a scam when you’re promised extraordinarily high returns for little or no risk.

Here are some golden rules for avoiding scams:

1. Be wary of any Forex Broker who promises you that the Forex market is a zero-risk, high profit investment. (In truth, it’s a volatile market with lots of opportunity to make money, but you *will* have losses. Every trader does. It’s unavoidable.)

2. Steer clear of any system which claims you can “beat the market”. You can’t.

3. Always make sure you understand the trading strategy being offered to you. Some brokers recommend the use of high leverage (ie. Borrowing money to invest), which can increase your wins but will also increase your losses. The real winner in this scenario is the broker, as they always get the larger commission. Only ever trade with money you can afford to lose.
