Investment Frauds
It is known that scammers often offer, in their view, lucrative deals, to buy goods, invest money in production, jewelry, expensive equipment, and cosmetics.
By creating fake websites of well-known companies, scammers lure victims by advertising production and promising high income. If the fraudster is planning a long-term scam, it will resemble a financial pyramid, where more and more people are attracted to enrich the founder.
How investment scams work
Dishonest investors always contact the victim themselves, offering quick earnings with minimal investments. They even allow the person to receive dividends once. Sensing the opportunity for quick profit, the victim agrees to continue the cooperation. At the same time, the scammer persuades them to invest a larger amount, which will yield more profit. Being in a state of euphoria from the first profit, the investor continues to invest money. And at this moment, the scammer already knows that he will steal this money and disappear.
Such schemes have been working on the internet for a long time, but each time there are people who truly believe lying brokers.
