How To Spot Investment Scams by backspace07: 1:24pm On Apr 26, 2020 |
Beware of invitations to events, webinars and seminars offering the financial secrets to make you rich especially property or real estate seminars .They are usually over-hyped, over-valued and misleading .Investment seminars often do not deliver any concrete investment opportunities.The first event may be free but expect pressure to buy e-books,manuals, reports ,books and sign up for a more expensive seminars. Another effective strategy they use is , organizing an online seminar on wealth creation for free and use someone as a decoy to persuade you that the person has made million of money using the secrets that the author is about to introduce but you have to sign up for the program and they usually fabricate stories to their justify their lies and why you need to pay. The organizer might say the actual worth is 2 million but that there is a massive discount and a special offer for only 20 people who can pay N500,000 each provided they can make full payment before the end of live webinar.A discount of 50 percent for those that make part-payment for 1 million naira during the webinar and pay the balance later.If 20 people fall for this trick, the organiser will make 20 x N500,000 =N10,000,000 on spot by just seating in front of a laptop or camera using Facebook or Instagram live.Note, they usually introduce “terms and conditions” at the end to cancel out any claim in case you want to pull out and request for a refund.You need to wonder if actually they are making huge money as they claim , will they come to the public to share their secrets for a fee?The truth is they are making a living out of organizing seminars by asking people to make payment. Billionaires like Aliko Dangote, Femi Otedola are too busy to organize conferences on wealth creation and will not come to the public to share their secrets to wealth! The only person making any money will be the seminar organizer. Stay away from property investment seminars that promise: to make you a millionaire within a short time above average returns at little or no risk risk-free investments discounts for buying off the plan-you may never see your money Never make any decisions about money or investment on spot.The atmosphere at these events can be exiting- but they are not designed for you to make rational decisions. Always get a second opinion Ask for a detailed written explanation Ask questions and request information Do your research on the company Do your own checks on any investment opportunity to make sure it’s real Always get independent financial advice before you invest Never take any financial decision without doing a through check Be suspicious of anyone that offers you easy money Getting a land verification exercise at the time of purchase can save you from a lifetime tragedy.
