The Truth About Forex Scams
What are Forex scams? Many people mistakenly think that any Forex product or trading system which does not make them instantly wealthy is a scam. These people do not want to put in any time or effort on their own part. They want a magical, get rich quick system ? well, there?s no such thing. If there was, we?d all be using it and of course, this system wouldn?t work for long. It?s just basic economics.
All that money has to come from somewhere. While the standard of living can be raised universally by technological developments and other innovations, all trading or any other economic activity where there is no value being produced is a zero-sum game. For one person to make money, someone else has to lose it.
There are always losses being taken by individuals and institutions who are either unaware of the currency exchange market or cannot for one reason or another allow exchange rates to dictate their activities. You wouldn?t put off a vacation because of exchange rates ? and businesses also cannot wait for favorable currency exchange rates to import or export goods. It?s just not a possibility for each and every Forex investor to get rich ? simple as that.
The next time you?re reading through a web forum on the topic of Forex and you?re trying to decide whether or not the negatives you?re reading about a given product or service mean that it is one of the Forex scams, you should think about how things work in the ?real? (offline) world.
Let?s say that you buy a book on Forex trading from your local bookstore. You read the book, apply what you have learned and find that it doesn?t work for you. Maybe the information here is out of date, or it simply didn?t work for you for another reason. You?d probably just chalk it up to a lesson learned and try something else. What you wouldn?t do is to angrily run down to your local bookstore and accuse the owners of operating a scam.
But if the bookstore was inviting everybody to pre-order a great new book on forex that was about to be published, and you and 1000 other people all handed over your cash, and the next day the store was closed and the owner had left town ... that is a scam.
A scam is a completely fraudulent business activity which is created with the intention of swindling people. A scam is by definition illegal ? if a product or service is offered in good faith, it is not a scam.
People are naturally a little resistant to buy anything online, especially with the word scam being used so lightly. In many cases, it?s simply a customer who didn?t get the results they wanted trying to shift the blame to the product. While you may not want to buy these products, it would not be accurate to call them Forex scams. - 23226
