An offer promises to double my money. Is it a scam?
Treat fast, guaranteed profits as a warning. Check the offer before you pay.
Huge, certain profits with no risk are a serious warning sign. Adding 'AI' does not make an offer sound.
A balance on a website can be fake. A small early payout does not prove that you can get the rest out.
A made-up scheme says: 'Your money doubled. Pay a fee to release it.' Do not send more money to test that claim.
- Pause payments and keep a copy of the offer. Do not share bank access.
- Check the firm and person with the relevant financial regulator. Match their real contact details. A name or certificate can be copied.
- Read how the offer works, what it costs and its risks. Check the claims outside the seller's own pages.
- If you need advice, use a qualified adviser. Check who they are through a separate source.
- If you paid or cannot get funds out, contact the payment service promptly. Do not pay a stranger who promises recovery.
Use a made-up offer: 'Our AI doubles your cash in a week with no risk.' List claims that need proof. Explain how to check who is behind it. Do not recommend a purchase or invent proof.
