It is essential to know the best practices to take before taking an online investment, although staying safe from these scammers could be difficult, I can guarantee below a few of the best practices to prevent yourself from being scammed:
· 1. IDENTITY - It is necessary to identify
the business you wish to invest your money in. Online investment
has several businesses, some may need you not to invest money, but your time and other resources may be required for this type of
practice which may take a long waiting period on ROI (return on investment) just identify the best investment that suits your capacity.
· 2. RESEARCH - In the process of identifying your business do proper research. There are many research tools on the internet for seeking online opinions, you can use different rating sites, video websites, etc. peradventure you know the website you want to invest in, while researching about them try to know their year of establishment, know if they have any online presence (i.e. having a Facebook account, Contact, Information about how genuine they are through any trusted online Forum, etc.). Ask about how they make their profits, ask if they are insured by any known insurance company, verify if they are a registered company, and if they have branches or a definite office. Please take your time to do all this.
NOTE- This doesn't guarantee their folding up, just be wise in your decision-making.
· 3. OPINIONS CHECK - Individual differences could be a good opinion checker while investing. Ask people around you to sample their knowledge about the investment this could also be a part of the investigation being carried out about people’s opinion of the business, observe those who are indifferent to it this could be a good pointer.
· 4. GREED - Don't be greedy with your decisions. The rates at which different money schemes are introduced to society cannot be overlooked. Online investments/Businesses may be too attractive to derail someone from taking proper diligence, any juicy or too good-to-be-true packages could be a trap. More so, trying to double or triple your earnings based on a scheme could make you a victim of being scammed so avoid those attractive platforms procuring to offer huge incentives they are not always real.
