Episode description

From Forex and crypto trading to binary options, financial scams are everywhere and scammers are praying on the uneducated, money-driven individuals who engage in online communities.  


The content behind this episode is sparked by my recent experience being impersonated. Instagram is currently investigating the account, however this is not the first time this has happened. Scam artists thrive on social media because they’re able to quickly build trust and target a specific audience. 


Friendly reminder - I will never DM you on any platform asking you how your trading is doing, or to ask you for money. I only ever ask my fiance for money, and even that’s in the rare instance when I need to get my nails done and don’t have cash on hand. 


In this episode I go over how to avoid falling into the trap of being taken advantage of financially. I bring to light the most common types of scams and teach you how to point them out. 


Here’s what I get into in detail: 

2:15 - Why scammers love social media

7:38 - Investing in Gold

12:32 - Crypto Scams

15:41 - Binary Options

19:08 - Forex Scams

22:26 - Pump & Dump Schemes
