Hi, my name is Femi, as you’re there trying to grasp the beauty of a man talking to you, the name clicks, Femi! What do you do? They say to carry yourself and run! Or is it Ola? Or to make it all worse, Olafemi? Ah!
What of the pretty girl you’re talking to who says her name is Precious or Amaka? You just run sharp sharp before Amaka disappoints you.
You would ask why right? Well, I didn’t make those rules, I heard them too and they seem to have gone ahead to become widespread, God help Femi and Amaka. Whether true or false, this must have started with a pattern of some Femis and Amakas hurting some ladies and men but now, at the mention of the name, people flee.
Okay, so I know it’s easier to heed the relationship advisors who tell you to run from them but when it’s investment time it’s harder to see the signs of a bad investment. Or should I assume you just don’t know them? Okay, I think I’d rather take it that you do not see the red flags. Now, to the question of whether Femis and Amakas are that bad or if they are just getting the wrong PR; I cannot answer that but what I can share with you for sure are the red flags and banners in investment.
1. 10k to get 1M, Sure Odds:
No investment carries a 100% assurance, they all come with risk. So, when you begin to get promises of consistently high returns with little or no risk, that is an obvious red flag. Living every day comes with a degree of risk, so how would an investment, which is putting money into a venture with hopes of a return, be risk-free and completely guaranteed?
2. Urgency Tactics:
This is pure and simple manipulation. When the offer comes with overly high promises and short timelines, it could be an indication that you are about to walk into a scam. You might ask, how would I know that the promises are overly high? Well, through research. Check out similar opportunities and the usual returns on them, use this to gauge if your so-called opportunity isn’t just a trap.
When potential scams make high promises, they follow it up with short timelines to ensure you do not have enough time to do proper research into what you are walking into. Usually manipulative language is used and fear is subtly inserted.
Our FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) is usually what makes them fall victim to these, but now you know, so always take your time.
3. A Platform on the Cloud:
You must have seen one or two videos of people going to the bank to “change” it for them when they mess up their transactions or something goes wrong with their accounts. They can only do that because the bank has a physical address, there’s only a level of para you can do via email, compared to having a physical office (I don’t encourage violence).
A lack of a physical address can make it difficult to contact the firm or hold them accountable, which is a common characteristic of scams. Credlanche, on the other hand, is a good investment platform holding great opportunities for you, with its physical offices on the 3rd Floor, Novare Central, Wuse Zone 5, Abuja, and 7B Adekunbi Crescent, Off Allen, Ikeja, Lagos.
4. MMM or Ponzi:
Referral, referral, bring two people, and the two people will bring two people, and so on; they call it a pyramid scheme. The only way you get paid is when you refer people and they in turn refer others, I believe the word they use is downlines. Now, if there are no new referrals, how would you expect to get paid?
So yeah, huge red flag; it only means that you get paid with the new investments, not from profit earned by the operation of a legitimate business, I hope you see the reason why you need to run.
Actually, if you look clearly, you’ll realize that the signs were there all along, it is just important to note the signs before and not after falling victim to investment scams.
