Trading scams on social media: how to avoid them
In short: The most frequent scams use ads with fake celebrities, "mentors" offering to manage your money and unregulated platforms. No real professional promises you gains by private message.
The classic pattern
An ad with a fake news article, a call from an "adviser", small early gains to build trust, then requests to deposit more. When you try to withdraw, "fees" are demanded and the money never comes back.
Signs to spot
A high, steady promised return, urgency, unsolicited contact, payment in crypto or by transfer abroad, an unknown platform.
Good habits
Check the intermediary with your regulator, never install remote-control software at a stranger's request, and talk to someone before paying.
