Fake investment platforms promising “guaranteed returns”

An ad or an unknown “advisor” writes: “Guaranteed high returns every month”, “AI does the trading, you earn”, “Limited spots — join today”. The platform has a polished website, a personal account and charts.

At first you invest a small amount and watch your “profit” grow fast in the dashboard. Sometimes they even let you withdraw a little the first time, so you believe it. Then a “personal manager” pushes you to invest more, take out a loan and bring in relatives.

When you try to withdraw, new conditions appear: pay a “tax”, a “fee”, or for “account verification”. In the end the site and the manager vanish. The numbers in the dashboard were never real.
