Forex fraudsters typically:
Promise profits, but they don't deliver — their customers lose money instead!
Claim most customers make money, when in fact most lose.
Claim to be trading customers' funds, when in fact they are stealing them.
Give you phony success stories from made-up customers.
Create fake account statements showing false trading profits.
Claim that they have been in business for years, when in fact it is often only months.
Claim to be solid and stable firms, until they disappear and leave customers' calls unanswered.
