Fake investment platform fraud is easy and frequent. Investors are advised not to be greedy for high returns, invest rationally, and keep their "money bags" secure.
1. Know how to identify
To purchase stocks, financial products, spot futures investments, etc., you must go through formal institutions. You can learn about their qualifications on the websites of the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Futures Industry Association or check the situation on the spot.
2. Don’t be greedy
Don't blindly believe in some so-called "insider information", "master guidance" and "authoritative releases". Various interests or scams are often hidden behind them.
3. Refuse to follow blindly
Do not blindly join an unverified investment and financial management group. This may be a preset situation and you will fall into a trap unknowingly.
4. Stop loss in time
If you suffer illegal losses in your investment, please call the police immediately. Don’t take chances and don’t fall deeper into the trap and suffer greater losses because of the sweet talk of criminals.
Reminder: Be cautious when investing online, and please choose a formal platform when investing. Don’t trust group chats filled with strangers, don’t trust investment software from unknown sources, and don’t trust investments that promise guaranteed profits. Pies fall from the sky, usually under the banners of "insider information", "system loopholes", "high returns", "guaranteed profits without loss", etc. They are all scams.
