Phishing is a common tactic used by criminals to obtain personal data from users by imitating a trustworthy entity with fake websites, e-mails, phone calls or SMS messages. The intention is to misuse this data to steal money from account holders.
Never open any attachments or click on any links in any emails that are suspicious, and do not reply to any suspicious emails. Keep an eye out for scammers using similarly named email domains in order to seem as if the communication is from an official source. While it does not always apply, such emails often have errors which may be an indication that something is not right.
Unfortunately, the online trading industry is not exempt from these and other fraudulent attempts to deceive users. Therefore, it is very important that you always verify that you are transacting with the official Investing Trade. platform.
