Lesson 13 of 15 · Investment, relationship and impersonation scams
Investment scams
- “Guaranteed returns.”
- “You cannot lose.”
- “Invest today before the opportunity closes.”
Guaranteed profit + pressure = stop and verify.
A professional-looking investment website does not prove the investment is genuine.
Scammers may show you apparent profits or even allow a small withdrawal at first to gain your trust.
Before investing, check the company independently using the FCA Firm Checker on the FCA's official website.
Do not use a link or phone number supplied by the person offering the investment.
