RE: What price?28 Jun 2025 22:01
I want to make you aware of a growing scam trend targeting retail investors, particularly through social media and messaging apps. It’s called a ramp-and-dump (or pump-and-dump) scheme — and it can lead to serious financial losses.
How it works:
Fat controller scammers pose as trusted contacts, investment advisors, or even romantic interests. They often invite you to join private groups or chats where they “share tips” about supposedly promising stocks. These are typically low-volume, low-cap stocks (often referred to as “penny stocks”).
The scam plays out like this:
• They promote a stock with claims of insider knowledge, hidden value, or upcoming news. The 5p club.
• As unsuspecting investors buy in and push the price up, the scammers offload their own holdings at inflated prices.
• Once they sell, the price crashes — and you’re left with the losses.
What to watch out for:
• Tips from strangers or unsolicited messages about “can’t-miss” investments
. Fat Ausy cn*ts
• Claims of inside info or secret opportunities.
• Urgency or pressure to buy immediately.
• Private chat groups or forums with hype and little substance.
What you can do:
• Always do your own research.
. Avoid Brazilian shysters
• Use trusted sources and be sceptical of viral investment tips.
• Report suspicious activity to our support team.
• Your safety matters. If something feels off, it probably is.
