What would you do if someone came up to you and told you they had a great investment opportunity with quick returns? While only you can know yourself well enough to answer that question, what we can do is give you advice – run.
There are two key ingredients in everyday financial fraud. And no, we are not talking about the kind of financial fraud committed by high rolling bankers, corporate executives, or government officials. We are talking about the kind of scams faced by the everyday, working-man, investor. The first element in these scams is the desire to get rich quickly. The second is the desire to trust.
These two desires are basic. After all, who wouldn’t want to get rich and who wouldn’t want to believe that humans look out for each other? Wealth and trust are both evolutionarily wired into our brains. Yet both of these things can lead to complete financial ruin.
Essentially, the scammer in question scopes people and finds the easy ones to prey on. Usually, these scammers are fully aware of what they are doing and are doing it with malicious intent. If they are wiley, they choose weaker targets with liquid cash and very little understanding of how finance works. They get these people to trust them by promising big returns. Greed and blind trust are a bad combination, and the victims of these scams fall prey to the scammers that target their ‘get rich quick’ mentalities.
After all, the idea of getting rich overnight is wildly attractive and has been played out in entertainment media ad nauseum, from winning the lottery to a mysterious distant uncle leaving you a vast estate. At times this urge of instant gratification can be so overwhelming that people impair their ability of thinking straight and logically. Thus, end up being scammed.
While we’re all out there on our own, what we can give you is a list of common scams that someone might try on you, and some general rules on how to identify scammers and people that are lying to you. (Spoiler: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t true). The content in this publication is expensive to produce. But unlike other journalistic outfits, business publications have to cover the very organizations that directly give them advertisements. Hence, this large source of revenue, which is the lifeblood of other media houses, is severely compromised on account of Profit’s no-compromise policy when it comes to our reporting. No wonder, Profit has lost multiple ad deals, worth tens of millions of rupees, due to stories that held big businesses to account. Hence, for our work to continue unfettered, it must be supported by discerning readers who know the value of quality business journalism, not just for the economy but for the society as a whole.To read the full article, subscribe and support independent business journalism in Pakistan

Short but helpful post to aware the people about financial frauds. Security experts say that you should always strengthen your password and make it tough to crack. Also, Frequently change your passwords to protect your bank account and other sensitive information. Do not wire your money / credit or debit card to a stranger or who claims to be a friend or relative. Do online transactions from safe and reputed websites.
Insightful post but would like to add few lines – Never share personal and financial details over the phone or email. Do not respond to calls that ask for personal and financial information. Never share your One Time Password (OTP), Never share your Password, Never share your Reset password link and Be aware before you share your contact information in response to an investment promotion. hope this helps.

Be cautious of unsolicited phone calls, emails, or mail requesting personal financial information. Legitimate businesses will not ask for this information unsolicited.
Do not click on links in emails or text messages from unknown senders. These may lead to phishing websites designed to steal your personal information.
Keep your computer and mobile devices secure with strong passwords and up-to-date security software.
Avoid using public Wi-Fi networks for financial transactions. These networks are often unsecured and can be easily hacked.
Be wary of “too good to be true” investment opportunities or offers. Always do your own research and consult a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
Keep a close eye on your financial accounts, and report any suspicious activity immediately.
Be careful who you share personal information with, and never provide sensitive information over the phone, email, or through a website unless you have initiated the contact and are certain of the identity of the person on the other end.
Use two-factor authentication whenever possible to add an extra layer of security to your accounts.
Be mindful of social engineering tactics, such as phishing and vishing, where scammers will use trickery and deception to gain access to your personal information.
Lastly, always trust your instincts and if something seems off, it’s better to err on the side of caution and not engage with it.
