How It Works
Scammers promise "doubled money in 3 days," "guaranteed 10% monthly returns." They show fake profit screenshots. Initial small returns build trust. Then you invest big — and they vanish.
Real Example
WhatsApp group: "I made ₹2 lakh in 1 week! Join my investment club." Everything is fake. Screenshots are edited. Group has 50 fake members and 1 real victim.
Red Flags 🚩
- Guaranteed high returns
- Fake profit screenshots
- Pressure to invest quickly

- Referral bonus for bringing friends
Protection Steps 🛡️
- No legitimate investment guarantees returns.
- Check SEBI registration at sebi.gov.in.
- Don't invest based on WhatsApp groups.
- Consult SEBI registered advisor only.
