There are so many scammers in our world that it is quite easy to fall into their trap.
However, ordinary people fall into their “hands” because of their own greed: everyone wants to earn extra money, which is why they spend millions on it.
Below are seven of the most popular financial traps that absolutely anyone can fall into.
Withdrawal of money from a deposit by someone else
A person opens a bank account to, for example, save up for something. When he is sure that there is enough money in the account for the purchase, he decides to withdraw it, but the bank tells him that the money has already been withdrawn, and by him.
How is this possible? Banks do not always employ honest employees. Some of them may well be fraudsters. Therefore, it is worth opening a deposit only in a bank that you can really trust.
It is worth paying attention to your signature: if it is complex, it will not be so easy to forge it. It is also worth connecting SMS notifications for all deposit transactions, then you can contact the bank's security service in a timely manner.
Financial pyramid
Many people already have experience of participating in Mavrodi's financial pyramid, but they still continue to trust various organizations, giving them their money.
But if a person wants to invest, then this should be done in financial organizations that have a license from the Central Bank. And it is better to avoid various microfinance organizations.
Investing in stocks
Who wouldn't want to make a profit just like that? Shares of various companies are a great way to invest, and then receive interest from these shares. However, to buy shares of large companies, you need an intermediary, who may well turn out to be a scammer.
Therefore, it is worth carefully reading contracts with intermediaries (preferably with a lawyer), and even better - avoid investments if you have zero experience in them.
A profitable offer under the guise of a deposit
When a person comes to a bank with a specific purpose, consultants start offering him additional offers that will be beneficial to him. Many people agree, although they themselves do not know what for.
If the consultant's offer still interests a person, then it is worth carefully reading the terms of this offer, and also asking all the questions of interest.
Bank bonds
In essence, this is the same as a deposit. But if the bank is suddenly closed (for various reasons), then the person may not be able to wait for the money.
The thing is that first the citizens' deposits are returned (and not in full), and only after that the money on the bonds. But if the bank simply does not have the money to pay them, then the person will not receive anything. The risk is huge, so it is better not to agree to this at all, using a regular deposit.
Cryptocurrency
To really make money on cryptocurrency, you should thoroughly understand its schemes. An ordinary person who decides to make money easily and simply usually goes broke. Therefore, you should not get involved in a place where there is a high risk of fraud and losing all your money.
Personal brand
Quite a few people in the era of social networks have started to run pages promoting their personal brand.
A personal brand is when a person sells themselves as a professional in something. Therefore, a person can promise that with them you can earn millions in a few days, without doing anything for it.
In reality, once the money has been invested, you will have to work hard to make a profit. It is worth remembering that there is no way for money to come out of nothing. You always have to work to get it.
