Test: Fake investment
Do you know why the money “gets stuck”? Choose what you would do, and see the result at the end.
1. A platform promises you 30% a month and says there is no risk.
“A little money” is often the first step. Then they ask for a “commission” to withdraw, and the money stays there.
2. The balance on the screen grew from $1,000 to $15,000. To withdraw, they ask for a 15% “tax”.
A real platform takes its commission out of the amount withdrawn. “Pay first, then you will receive it” is a sign of fraud.
3. The first time, withdrawing $100 really worked.
Withdrawing a small amount is often allowed on purpose, so that you put in more later.
4. The site shows a licence number and a photo of a certificate.
Anyone can draw a photo. Look at the register, and whether the company name and the site's address match.
5. You lost money. Someone writes to you: “We will get your money back for $500”.
“Money recovery” for an upfront payment is the second wave of fraud: they look for people who have already been cheated.
