It does not take a genius to design such a scam but they are surprisingly effective.

What usually happens is that you see an ad for a broker while scrolling on the Internet and get tempted by the opportunity to make some quick and easy money. The scammers` websites will show you pictures from the luxurious lifestyle you want to be leading and drown you in satisfied clients` testimonials. In reality, none of the promises you get would turn out to be true.

Once you have provided scammers with your contact details, the game is afoot. You will start getting calls and emails asking you to make a deposit. Soon enough you will have an account open, usually under incredibly good conditions, and you will probably be making money too. That is what the scammers want you to believe anyway – so you would invest even more money.

The problems start when you start trying to make a withdrawal. There will usually be some sort of complication preventing you from doing so like more and more additional fees and more and more waiting periods. The moment you start figuring out that something is not as it should be, the scammers will stop returning your calls and will disappear into the blue.
