I’m Tired of Receiving Fraudulent Business Offers Every Week

You Too Should Beware of Every Business Offer that comes along.

I have a degree in Systems Analysis and Development, I have been working for 8 years as a financial accountant, I am currently working for a state-owned clean energy company, and I am also a pioneer investor in the digital world. For over 4 years I have been creating content over the internet.

At this moment I am with the following data on the web.

YouTube — 11.3K Subscribers Facebook — 5.1K Followers Medium — 1.5K followers Instagram — 940 Followers Twitter — 115 Followers Linkedin — 50 Connections

All my social media together total an equivalent of 19K followers. I have made over $12K from all these social media over the past 4 years, however, the investments have never made me more money than any other business I have had so far. 2018 was the year I lost the most money with the financial pyramid, this is because I was at the beginning of my career as an investor and the excitement led me to start meeting all kinds of businesses that would generate profit for me overnight, and in the end, it all went wrong for me because all the businesses led me to a financial fraud that I lost money through.

Starting in 2019, I began to focus on sustainable businesses, businesses where I could put my investment exposed to 0% risk, yet controlled completely by me. My businesses now had sustainability on my part, everything was solely up to me to make it grow and leverage my investments.

During these years I always received business offers, to promote products and get paid for them, until then the businesses went well, whether it was freelance services or platforms to make money like banks, I always did my business without problems, and the clients always paid normally. But as I grew on the web, the offers of fraudulent businesses multiplied, and this upsets me completely. I have received several offers by email, Instagram, Linkedin, and even by WhatsApp, sometimes I think the business will be suitable so we close the conversation to WhatsApp, until I find out that the business is nothing but a scam.

How do I Discover That the Business is Fraudulent?

Through the type of offer, I can figure out where the problem is and where we are going with all of this. Lately most of the businesses that come along lead to a financial pyramid, businesses that I categorically hate. It’s expensive, as soon as I realize the situation, I cut it off immediately, however, the pyramids are like demons, they force you to join this business, they insist you run to them, even if you deny it they insist and want to see you in their business, and this frustrates me.

Following the conversation I had with two supposed clients yesterday, one on Instagram and one on WhatsApp, the one on WhatsApp I even thought everything would be consolidated, but it ended with a Bye Bye.

We need to be careful, their offers are too attractive, but if you don’t have a grasp of the problem, you will simply be lured into investing, and then what they will do is disappear with all your money. That’s a warning for anyone who wants to start trading.
