Always the slick videos and 'too good to be true' promises. If it was that easy, everyone would be rich. People need to do their homework before handing over their life savings.
Omg yes!! I almost fell for one of these last week but then I realized I don't have any money to invest lol crisis averted 💀
I'd seen this before my brother got fleeced. Share this with the olds in your life.
The real scam is the government letting these cowboys operate. Where's the regulation?
my dad lost 20k to a crypto scheme last year. literally spreadsheet porn and a smooth talker. this article is spot on.
here. Lost 5k. Felt sick for weeks. Never again.

So true. Always check with the FMA before handing over a cent. Better safe than sorry guys.
What a load of shit. Just buy index funds and get over it.
nah mate, FMA does bugger all. My mate reported one and they said 'we'll look into it' lol
As someone in finance, I see punters ignoring every red flag because they want Lambo money overnight. DYOR and if it sounds too good, it bloody is.
cope. Index funds boring but they pay the bills unlike these vape lords.
There needs to be a national register of banned promoters like they have in Oz. These scammers just change names and keep going.
Exactly. If they spend more time on the 'opportunity' video than actual client money, run.
