Securing Your Information for Safer Trading

How to spot common trading scams and ways to keep your information safe?

Common signs of cybersecurity threats and trading scams

Scams are intricately designed to deceive, and each day, scammers devise new methods to gain access to your personal information for their financial gain. Below are the most common ways that scammers may deceive you:

Cybersecurity threats

Phishing Emails

Scammers send deceptive emails that appear to be from reputable CFD brokers such Pro Invests or financial institutions, urging recipients to click on malicious links or provide sensitive financial information.

Fake Websites

They create fraudulent CFD trading platforms that closely mimic legitimate ones, tricking traders into depositing funds or sharing personal and financial information.

Trading scams

False Promises

Scammers may promise unrealistic returns on CFD investments, luring traders with the prospect of high profits and minimal risk.

Impersonation

Scammers may impersonate Pro Invests or other well-known CFD providers, using similar logos and branding to deceive potential traders.

Unregistered Brokers

Some scammers pose as unregistered brokers, operating without the necessary licenses or regulatory approvals, and attract traders with enticing offers.

Social Media Scams

They use social media platforms to promote fake CFD trading opportunities, often targeting inexperienced traders with promises of quick riches.

Pressure Sales Tactics

Scammers may employ high-pressure sales tactics, encouraging traders to make quick decisions or deposits without proper research.

Misleading Information

They provide false or misleading information about CFD products, making them appear less risky or more lucrative than they are.

Inadequate Risk Disclosure

Some scams involve unregistered or unregulated CFD products, making it difficult for traders to seek recourse in case of issues.

Investment Clubs

Scammers promote fraudulent investment clubs or groups, asking traders to pool their money into a collective fund, which they later abscond with.

How to protect yourself against cybercrime and trading scams?

Confirm that the Pro Invests trading platform is legitimate and registered. Also, do not forget to check the Business Registration Number and License numbers. You will find all of this information on the footer of the Pro Invests website.
