‎ ‎Money is important and it's not very easy to make money these days, the more reason why people faint whenever they get duped of their money. Investment is important and advisable to get into, but we also need to be careful while at it, as we have so many scammers now roaming around the street in the disguise of investors. ‎ ‎

It may not be easy to identify scams and fraud, but we must carry out our due diligence before we make any type of investment no matter how small or big it is. Whenever you are about to make business investment decisions, there are visible signs that would guide you to stay away from falling victim to business fraud. ‎ ‎If you are pressured to make instant decisions, or a guaranteed high interest rate within a short time, you must run from such.

If the start-up fee is exorbitant and you have been told that, there is no risk involved, then you should be scared as well. If there is no chance for you to appropriately go through the documents, with promoters breaching down your throat on the need to sign quickly, then you need to know something is fishy and must be carefully evaluated. ‎ ‎If payment is to be made through a private service, or you are asked to make payments to a different account name, you should get suspicious. When you get to the space of seeking to invest and you find there is no designation of duties amongst staff, probably the cleaner is also the secretary, it is not right as all duties need to be designated amongst staff members individually. ‎ ‎

The hope of fraudsters is that, you will not make a proper investigation before committing to an investment, you can avoid that by taking time to carry out a proper investigation, it is not enough for you to ask for information from those introducing the product to you, rather dig a little deeper.

Mails that spring up unannounced, and message board postings, should not be the sole basis for investment decisions. Properly understand the operations of the company, together with its products or services before committing to an investment. The salesperson is highly crucial, you should spend some time to check if the salesperson who has contacted you about this investment has a license to sell in your state and if there are other existing investors.

The fear of missing out is how a lot of these scam companies get a lot of people to invest, so when a project is making a lot of noise on social media, you want to dig a little deeper and not just jump into it for the fear of not wanting to miss out. As good and helpful as social media is, fraudsters have found it to be a great platform for them to carry out their wicked schemes, while you are active on social media, you also have to be careful not to expose yourself or fall into their scheme. I believe it is important for us to be aware of different existing types of fraud, this way we will be able to protect ourselves appropriately against it.
