Investment scams are unfortunately common. To protect your account, you need to make sure the offer is legitimate, before making any payments.
Profit Guarantees: Legitimate investments never guarantee profits.
Social Media and Messaging Apps: Legitimate investments typically aren't arranged through social media or messaging apps like WhatsApp.
FCA Registration: Legitimate investment companies are registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
It's essential to note that once you make a bank transfer to a fraudster's account, the process of recovering your money becomes highly challenging. Fraudsters often swiftly transfer the funds out of the account once received.
