‼️You should also always research investment professionals before making an investment. Use FINRA BrokerCheck (https://brokercheck.finra.org) to see if the promoter is a registered investment professional and verify that the names of the person and the firm, along with their addresses or the locations where they do business. And be aware that many brokerage firms in the U.S. specifically prohibit their registered investment professionals from using encrypted chat groups, like WhatsApp, to conduct business. ‼️
🚫Scammers often start out by promoting investment in a well-known, actively traded stock and then, through ongoing conversations in the encrypted chat platform, move their targets to invest in a low-priced and low-volume exchange-listed stock.
FINRA has observed instances in which even these might provide short-term success for investors, but eventually scammers will provide a target stock that’s being primed for investor losses.
They instruct investors to open an account at a specific broker-dealer, then guide them on which stocks and how much to purchase and at what times and prices, essentially leading the investors to unwittingly manipulate the price of the stocks upwards.
At some point, the investors become unable to sell, and the price of the stocks inevitably crashes. When investors report losses, the scammers often promise to “make the money back” if the investors can transfer more funds into their accounts. 🚫
