BEWARE OF TRADING GURUSES! SCAMS THROUGH WHATSAPP, TELEGRAM, SIGNAL AND OTHER SIMILAR SERVICES
Increasingly, assumptions are in the spotlight. investment gurus, traders or investment experts who promote their services through the various instant messaging applications.
Telegram is very common since it is considered a very secure application for messaging, and it is not so easy for the authorities or third parties to detect it. It is a quite anonymous encrypted application and for this reason it is highly chosen by these scammers, since they can disappear and it is very difficult to trace them. This is why it can be one of the preferred means of communication for these so-called gurus who know everything about the art of generating money. Likewise, there are also cases of these on Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and other social networks.
Well, already in the apps, there will be so many groups with real aspects that what they do is steal graphics and images from other pages or create fake graphics, images or chats. They are very common, for example, chats in which you can participate, normally led by a young, rich man, who can show his luxuries through the group to "motivate" people to deposit money and have a life like his.
These trading or investment geniuses will show you everything from sports luxury cars, to expensive watches, his life with women, luxury travel to private jets, and wads of cash, everything that fits in the imagination of a rich person.
These scammers will try to hook as many people assuring that they are dedicated to the trading (financial speculation to obtain benefits) and will show supposed evidence of their success.
these gurus, they say they have years of experience in financial activities, they ensure their success and the multiplication of people's income in record time. They can even send a DNI so that people are reassured that it is someone real and that they show their faces (which of course will be false). They can also tell you that you have their name and their face, that if it is a scam they would not show their face. Think that they can be (and probably are) photos of another person, false images.
The key is knowing how to recognize a fake guru or with a true trader. A real trader will never be able to assure you of high returns, he will not encourage you to deposit money or show a life of luxury to other people in the chat.
Gurus will have:
- Charts in a trading app showing how your profits go up and up and promise these results if someone wants to “invest”.
- Conversations with other users (who are just themselves writing from another number) thanking them.
- Live trading videos where you can't see true account balances or verify trades that support them being profitable.
- Luxuries and extravagant lifestyle.
- They say that since they found the key to success, now they want to share it with the whole world.
Pitifully, all this is false and the person will do nothing more than make their clients believe that they are winning and that they enter more and more money so that they continue to multiply it. Once they get a large sum, they will disappear.
Here below is an example of a group of a guru named Señor Sanchez (@Alberto_crypto – Señor Sanchez), he has his Telegram group and his own Telegram. It can be seen that they show a lot of money, luxuries, supposed successful operations of their clients.
Here below is an example from another investment guru called @deeniel.traiding (Instagram) or @danieelllllllllj (Telegram). In the following screenshots from his Instagram we will notice that he supposedly has a lifestyle with various luxuries and ostentations. And he supposedly makes his followers earn a lot of money.
Many bills can be seen, successful operations of its clients, luxury cars. If he is such a successful trader why does he need to promote his channel and ask you for money? It does not make any sense.
Here's more example of what these supposed genius investors and millionaires show on their Telegram channels.
On the other hand, many of the trading gurus specialize in supposedly educational content that is sometimes ends up linking users to a broker of dubious origin (their real boss or employer or the one who pays them commissions for entering new clients and depositing money), where they will continue to invest there and then lose everything.
There are those who wonder, then where does so much money come from? Why is that person sending videos in their private jet or luxury car? The answer is simple, your income generally comes from:
- Unregulated broker commissions for promoting them.
- The “investments” of its users.
- Income from people who buy their courses (who don't have anything you can't read for yourself on the internet).
- Seminars or classes with very poor content.
In addition, these people always use clichéd phrases like: “be your own boss”, “start living life to the fullest”, “work from anywhere in the world”, “get rich in record time”, “achieve financial freedom” etc. Therefore, once you identify some of these characteristics, DO NOT FALL!
Once again, it is worth remembering that easy money does not exist and that to embark on the world of investments you must be very careful, distrust people you do not know and not believe that there are magic formulas to be a millionaire. The path to being a successful trader (investor) is not achieved overnight, it takes a long time. Do not trust those who promise you big returns quickly. In 99,9% of cases, it is a scam.
Among the content offered by traders are:
- Online trading courses.
- Capital management service.
- Financial advisors.
- Live talks or seminars
- “Trading signals” services
- trading sessions

Good morning, I want to report the company ATFX, the administrator is called Dave Luis on telegram, it is as it is, page @ LEGIT_ BRIGGS..
They have already taken a lot of money from me and it is always a deposit, which is the last payment so that I can make a successful withdrawal... if someone can help me to file a final complaint because I have all the chats and accounts where they say to deposit the money …since I haven't paid a commission, they blocked my platform and I really don't know if the money that appeared there was lost.
Hello Marcela, I suggest you put the name of the broker in our search engine and you will see an article about them and there the comments of the scammed. Thanks for commenting on ATFX (they also use the name Alpha Bull). This broker is a SCAM. Do not send them money, they want to get as much money as possible from you with lies, the operations are not real, they do not put the money in the market, they just make it look and in the end they tell you that you have lost and they keep it.
If to withdraw your money they ask you for more to pay taxes, fees, legalizations, etc. Do not do it! It is a clear sign that they want to steal your money and they will not return anything even if you pay.
If you have more information about the company, we ask you to share it with us, especially if it is information that you think can help other people investing with this company.
Do you have names of advisers, numbers, emails from which they have contacted you? Do you remember how you found this broker in the first place?

Hello Miguel, you cannot believe in these scams, nobody obtains these returns, it is all a bait for a few deluded people who believe that cows fly.

Good night. There is a channel on Youtube called Francisca Trader. He has a VIP telegram channel where he gives binary options trading signals. To have access to the channel you have to make a deposit of $50 USD in the quotex broker with an affiliate link of it. It is most likely a scam. Is there any information about it? Thank you
Hello Carlos, Quotex is a scam and this channel belongs to a recruiter who earns a commission with the money you give them, I wouldn't go into something like that even as a joke, if you decide to risk your money, do it with serious and regulated companies, not with links from a telegram channel, there are many scams on these social networks.
Greetings.

Hello sonia, everyone who has invested or invests has lost or will lose their money, all these types of proposals are bait for the unwary to believe these types of false promises. It's a SCAM, don't fall for it.

Hello Marianela, all these Telegram brokers and traders are scams, no serious and regulated broker is there, you will always lose your money.
Greetings.
Good afternoon, there is a group on telegram called @carlos_dinero @carlos_inversiones.
He says that the minimum investment is 700.000 and one will obtain a benefit of approximately 8.000.000, he does not create a user for one, but rather that he operates from his personal accounts, that the result is seen in 3 or 4 hours, yes something goes wrong, he has insurance to return the money, he has many many video reviews of people recommending him and captures conversations.
I don't know, I still doubt it's real, please investigate it to find out if it's trustworthy.
Hello Mariana, all those who offer these incredible returns are scammers, a serious trader does not use fake telegram profiles, it is a scam, that is safe and if you invest your money you will lose everything, that is also safe.
Greetings.
Hello Mariana, in the end what decision did you make? I have also been looking for topics from that channel, it also generates some distrust in me.
Hello everyone, is that channel definitely a scam?

How reliable is Quotex?
It's a scam, he promised me too, he told me a million and he gave me 8 million, it's false. When I told him that he was a scammer, he told me that tomorrow my mother would be underground he was scared because I told him I would report him and he deleted Neki's number and the name of his supposed manager from the conversation... it's obvious he's a scammer
How are you, I would like to know about this telegram boy Pedro Rojas and the investments, they offer for $50 a profit in the Japanese market of $2500…. It seems like a total scam to me but it has more than 35k subscriptions than nonsense….
Hi Javier, it's a scam and everything is manipulated, don't believe these lies and falsehoods, they promise big profits so that some unsuspecting people fall into their trap.
