How do I know if a forex broker is a scam?

Check if they are licensed by a reputable regulator. If they promise guaranteed profits or make it hard to withdraw funds, it’s likely a scam.

Can I recover money lost to a trading scam?

Sometimes yes. Contact your bank or card provider quickly, and report the fraud to regulators. Be cautious of 'fund recovery' scams.

Are all forex brokers scams?

No. Many regulated brokers are legitimate. The key is to avoid unlicensed platforms and do thorough research before investing.

What is the most common trading scam?

Fake brokers and Ponzi-style schemes are among the most common, followed by fraudulent trading signals and bots.
