    hOW TO BECOME RICH?




    --------------------

    hahahahaha!

    If you go and Google
    - how to reach financial freedom in a short time
    - how to earn tons of money with just a few dollars
    - how to be rich in a few weeks time
    - how to earn tons of money while on holiday
    - how to be a millionaire in < 1 year
    - how a young kid without university education reached financial freedom
    - etc etc

    There are millions of people trying to teach us how to
    be a billionaire in just a few weeks.


    Good to read all these to de-stress oneself

    Those who cannot trade --->
    They will teach

    It is Good to learn how to sell fridges to the Eskimo.


    But then, it is very annoying when you watch youtube,
    and all these irritating how-to-be-a-billionaire advertisements keep on popping up.


    HAVE FUN !!!

    Many people say this is a fraud. I also think it is, but I have another idea.

    If you are very rich and 2100 euro doesn't mean anything to you, why don't you send 2100 euro to that person and see whether he is a liar? If he is not, you can make a profit from him. BTW, I think that is a fraud, but let's have a try?

  3. this is a complete scam
    refrain form sending more to anyone who call himself a trader and asks for investement
    someone making those gain will not need 1k or 2k investments

    you either look out for ways to learn and invest and trade your own money
    I'm afraid you have lost the 500$
    just just one of the common frauds that happen with the name of this industry on social media

    When you are promised a large amount of profit for your small investment - this is already a fraudulent scheme.

    Yeah of course any profit significantly above normal returns is suspicious because why not to borrow money from a bank make an excessive return and then return the loan and increase your own return.

    This sounds like a classic scam. Genuine trading opportunities don’t require large upfront fees or additional payments to release profits. Be cautious; legitimate traders don’t ask for money to access funds. It’s best to avoid this investment and consider researching reputable trading platforms and educational resources instead.

    True. But it is good that someone revived an old thread about scam and let posters on ET beware.

    I can find the same scam today and even today, many folks will fall for the same. Just search YouTube, found tons of similar scams.

    It provides a good starting set of criteria to avoid getting scammed.
