Money investment is a popular scheme nowadays . People always

. So they try to work on making money online . But not all
these opportunities online are free . Some has a membership
fee for what they called "risk takers ".
Let me share you some tips for you to be guided before
investing your money and to avoid being scammed again .
1. RESEARCH
We all know that research is very important , specially when
it comes to money involved . Some founders uses screen names
or fake names , fake accounts and fake pictures . Beware of
them , before you were about to invest , make sure you have
done this thing.
2. ASK FOR PROOFS

important . Some scammers are just promoting and find a way
to have a victim .So proofs are one point to know if its real
or not .
3.CHECK OUT THEIR LICENSE /PERMITS
What license /permits do they have ? Most of the investment
companies show up their dti permit or sec . But always
remember that its not the only requirement . If you have
doubts , try to call the customer service of these
institutions for sure verifications .
4. The PONZI SCHEME
Do you know that investment scam is too old ? This was first
used way back in
1920 by Charles Ponzi . He ran an investment program in U.S
wherein he offered a 50% return on investment after 45 days.
But since there really was no genuine business , Ponzi has to
get money from new investors in order to pay old investors
back .
Soon it became pyramid . The people at the bottom had to be
so many in order to pay everyone above them in the pyramid .
Once new investments had been insufficient to pay for
maturing invesments , that's the time the pyramid will
collapse .
So beware and be warned . Some of the investors
promises very high returns , but in a matter of months , they
will collapse and ran with their investors money .
LESSONS LEARNED ??
* If it sounds to good to be through , it probably is .
-Always remember that there is no genuine investment program
that can sustain very high returns on investment .
If you notice , banks and investment companies offering
stocks , funds ,and investment trust funds do not make
promises of guaranteed returns .
So if you see one that ensures high returns ,its most likely
to end up as scam soon .
* Don't let greed take you over .
*Budget your money so you know how much you can afford to
lose .
