Hi everyone, I recently received messages from my friends that they’ve joined my chat groups on the social media platforms. They also followed my investment tips with a claim of guaranteed profits owing to the trust of my fame. They thought that I’ve the inside information, hence purchasing stocks of some companies based on my tips.
I’m so surprised with the information. It’s important for me to clarify the issues because those groups may be the investment traps. It isn’t realistic to expect low risk investments with high guaranteed returns. The investment opportunities sound too good to be true. In reality, earning quick money can cause you losing all of your money. Please be careful!
I would like to reiterate that I do not set up any investment groups to share my investment insights and recommendations on the social media platforms. The fraudsters impersonate me and lure investors to scams. The fraudsters may make use of my reputation to spread false and flavourable news of the target companies.
If the investors blindly follow the tips, they will be misled to purchase the stocks of those companies. What are the objectives of convincing investors to purchase stocks? What are the benefits towards the fraudsters? Have you heard of “ramp and dump” scam?
The trap starts here. The fraudsters buy the stocks of small listed companies with a low price in advance. They can be named as penny stocks. Next, the fraudsters spread the positive news of the companies and use various means to drive up the price of those stocks. The investors jump on the bandwagon and purchase the stocks with inflated price.
Can you imagine the consequence? The fraudsters sell and dump the stocks at a high price in the market. The price of those stocks collapses dramatically. Do you think that the investors are alert to the sudden change? Of course not! The fraudsters dump all the stocks at once, take profits and vanish into thin air. In turn, the investors do not know why and what the issues are.
Unfortunately, they’ve fallen into the investment scams and suffered significant losses. The innocent victims are left holding stocks with plummeted value. Their beliefs in the rise of stock price again may give them hope. However, it’s just a dream.
Being a well-known stock commentator, I only use YouTube channel to share my investment analysis. If you found my photos, videos and media interviews posted in other investment groups or platforms featuring my name, they must be the fake investment groups. To avoid from being cheated by organized fraudsters, you should not follow or subscribe those accounts or groups.
Whenever we make investment decisions, we should understand the risks of different products. There is no guarantee of making money from your investments. Do you know why? There are many factors affecting the value of the investments. You may be aware that we should not put all eggs in one basket. You’re not expected to lose all of your money owing to one single product. Please bear in mind.

大家好，最近我收到朋友傳來的訊息，他們加入了我在社交媒體平台上的聊天群組。由於對我名氣的信任及保證利潤的說法，他們也跟著我的貼士去投資。他們以為我掌握了內幕消息，根據我的貼士買了一些公司的股票。
我對這些資訊感到非常驚訝，對我來說澄清這些問題很重要，因為這些群組可能是投資陷阱。期望低風險投資和高保證回報是不切實際的，這些投資機會聽起來好得令人難以置信。事實上，賺快錢可能會導致您損失所有的錢。請小心！
我想重申，我不會成立任何投資群組，並在社交媒體平台上分享我的投資見解和建議。騙子冒充我，引誘投資人上當，詐騙者可能會利用我的聲譽散佈有關目標公司的虛假消息。
如果投資者盲目跟隨貼士，就會被誤導而買進這些公司的股票。說服投資者購買股票的目的是什麼？對詐騙者有什麼好處？您聽過「唱高散貨」騙局嗎？
陷阱從這裡開始，騙子提前以低價買入小型上市公司的股票，它們又稱為細價股。接下來，詐騙者散佈公司的利多消息，並利用各種手段推高這些公司的股票價格。投資者紛紛跟風買進價格脹高的股票。
你能想像後果嗎？詐騙分子在市場上高價拋售股票，這些股票的價格急劇下跌。您認為投資者對於突然的變化是否警惕？當然不會！騙子一次拋售所有股票，獲利後就消失得無影無蹤，反過來，投資者也不知道問題的原因和所在。
不幸的是，他們陷入了投資騙局並遭受了重大損失。無辜的受害者只能持有價值暴跌的股票。他們對股價再次上漲的信念可能會為他們帶來希望，然而，這只是一場夢。
身為知名股票評論員，我只使用YouTube頻道來分享我的投資分析。如果您在其他投資群組或平台上發現我的照片、影片和媒體採訪，那麼這些投資群組一定是假。為了避免被有組織的詐欺者欺騙，您不應關注或訂閱這些賬戶或群組。 當我們做出投資決定時，我們應該了解不同產品的風險。我們無法保證您的投資一定能賺錢，您知道為什麼嗎？影響投資價值的因素很多。您可能知道我們不應該把所有雞蛋放在一個籃子裡。您不會因為一種產品而損失所有的錢，請牢記。
