Hi there! Sorry to heat you got scammed. Shouldn’t happen if you use a reputable, trusted and regulated platform that doesn’t promise anything except execution of your trades and don’t pay for any education.
How were you scammed?
I was almost scammed but I luckily backed out in the end and didn’t spend any money. Long story short i pretty much fell for those folks who sell courses and promise strategies and things like that. But now I know to avoid those

Hi! I’m also from the US, just a state away from you. I’m curious, how were you almost scammed? Be very careful when you do choose a broker, and don’t listen to anyone that approaches you claiming to be an expert or mentor that can make you rich. There have been a ton of scams going around lately. Always do thorough research before you select a broker. Don’t go with any company that hasn’t been around at least a year or that doesn’t have good reviews.
When you have no idea, start learning the basics. The only way to succeed in this market is to work hard and to remain consistent. I know trading is difficult and tedious at times but don’t worry once you start making profits, all the hard work will be worth it.
Welcome Bunniie, Many scammers in the financial services sector. Be careful out there!
