Who Are Fraudulent Brokers and What Do They Do?
In the traditional sense, brokers are companies or individuals who help small investors access the market, trade assets, or conveniently make investments of any size. Collaboration with a broker is a necessity because they act as intermediaries, ensuring the most favorable conditions for investors. They open access to financial markets even for ordinary people with just a few hundred dollars in their pockets.
However, unlike honest brokers whose work is genuinely aimed at beneficial intermediation between trading platforms and regular people, scammers have one goal: profit from gullibility.
What Happens?
A fraudulent company poses as a legitimate broker and lures naive users with promises of high returns, enormous profits, simple conditions, and gifts. They might also promise that if a person brings in referrals, they can earn extra money (pyramid scheme). As soon as the fraudulent broker receives the funds, their mission is accomplished. There are generally two outcomes (though there are many more scam tactics):
- The fraudulent broker disappears immediately, stops communicating, their platform changes its name or becomes inaccessible.
- The scammer continues to manipulate the trading environment until they extract all the victim’s funds. If the scammer is lucky, the colleagues, relatives, and friends of the investor who invited these people as referrals also lose their money.
What Can You Do if You Are Scammed?
There are two options for someone who has been scammed:
- Leave everything as it is and accept the loss of a significant amount that could have been invested (not all brokers are scammers! Most brokerage companies operate honestly).
- Submit a request on the official Aberdeen Dyce LP website and get a scam recovery solution.
Recovering lost funds is still possible, and it is essential to take action! It is crucial for you and other people who have already been scammed or will be scammed by these fraudsters in the future if nothing is done!
Common Scams and Tactics to Watch Out for
Falling under the “spell” of promises from brokers who are fraudsters can be easy. If this has already happened, recovering funds from a scam is fortunately possible. If you are aware that such scammers exist and are looking for ways to protect yourself in advance, here are some insights from the daily work of Aberdeen Dyce LP. Scammers can be inventive, but most use typical schemes. Knowing these tricks will help you protect your funds before they are lost and stolen by cybercriminals.
Fake Websites and False Reviews
A fraudulent broker’s website can look just as user-friendly as a genuine brokerage platform. To make potential victims believe in their legitimacy, such fraudulent brokers create fake reviews and forge user testimonials, which they publish on their sites. Typically, these platforms are not present on trusted, independent resources where only genuine users can leave reviews. This way, scammers gain users’ trust, obtain their funds, and disappear.
Excessive Pressure
“Only today, only now, invest all your money — and we’ll be rich.” This is the mantra of many scammers. They don’t give you time to think or weigh all the pros and cons. By creating a sense of urgency, fraudsters pressure you until they get your money.
Unverifiable License
Scammers claim they have a license for their activities and may even provide a license number. However, if you try to verify the authenticity of these details, you will find that such a license does not exist.
Phishing Schemes
A fraudulent broker asks you to open an email and follow a link supposedly to confirm your details and authorize. In reality, the link leads to a fake website. On these sites, scammers obtain personal and financial information about you and use it. If a site seems suspicious, it’s better to double-check everything: call the official contact number, for instance.
Ponzi Schemes
Scammers promise investors extraordinary returns with low risk simply by opening an account with the required amount. This profit is partially paid to those investors who have already registered, creating the illusion of safety. In reality, no investing takes place. New inflows partially cover the fraudulent broker’s expenses until the scheme reaches a critical point, and the “company” suddenly shuts down.
Fake ICOs (Initial Coin Offerings)
The platform you invest in aggressively promotes a new cryptocurrency, which is supposed to rise in value soon. However, there is neither an official launch of such a coin nor any profit for the investor. Thousands of people were recently deceived by believing in the success of OneCoin, a new super cryptocurrency that was supposed to be even better than Bitcoin. The scheme was exposed when the company, after operating for several years, started looking for people to create a blockchain environment where OneCoin should have already existed. Therefore, when it comes to investing in a new cryptocurrency, you should thoroughly check the reputation of each team member developing and presenting the new token or cryptocurrency. Promises of guaranteed profit should raise a red flag because an ICO is just a project that has not yet been released on the market, so any promises of high returns for investors are lies.
