I spent an hour yesterday reading about all the scams to watch out for whilst in Türkiye where I am going shortly. Nothing as smart or clever as what takes place on the market. Yes, I remember good old Fib. Went to a get together organised of HC by Robbbbbbbb, a darling of this site, here in Perth. Met a day trader, a friend of his. I was totally new and naive, and he offered to teach me. Was at his home, he said buy xxx share, which I did, then noticed he was selling. I just looked at him and walked out. Another one, years later, when I was a moderator on here, was a day trader, who targeted members with young children who he befriended. A known pedophile had spent years in jail. Immediately banned from HC when he was ousted. You never ever really know who is behind that screen and what their motives are. I am sure that I am not the first and won't be the last to lose money believing what I have read.
