The Truth About Forex Scams
So what are forex scams? Some people jump to the conclusion that anything that doesn't make them rich overnight is a scam. They do not want to have to spend any time developing skills - they want something that works like magic, without putting in any effort at all. That's clearly crazy. If such a thing existed, everybody would be using it ... and when you think about the economics, even if something like that was invented, it wouldn't be effective for very long.
The fact is that the money you make has to come from somewhere. Technology can improve our methods of producing goods so that everybody's standard of living improves and everybody becomes richer in real terms. However, when you are trading, gambling or doing anything else that involves 'pure money' without any goods or services being produced, then for one person to gain, another person or institution has to lose.
It is true that in currency exchange, some of the bad prices are taken by people or institutions who either do not know or do not care. Businesses who import or export goods rarely bother to try to schedule their payments for a moment when the currency rates are favorable. People taking a vacation overseas are the same. Nevertheless, there are so many people and institutions in the 'pure' forex market these days that it is simply not possible for everybody to make money from forex trading.
So when you are in an internet forum and you are trying to decide whether negative comments that you read about a product are really a sign of a scam, it is useful to picture the situation happening in the real world, i.e. offline.
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 Maybe the information here is out of date, or it simply didn?t work for you for another reason.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.
Let?s say that the bookstore had been hyping a new book which was about to come out and was urging every customer to pre-order. However, when everyone showed up at the bookstore on the release date only to find the store shuttered and the owners nowhere to be found, this would be a scam.
A scam is a fraudulent business operation which is made to swindle would-be customers. These activities are illegal and not offered in good faith. However, any product or service which is indeed created with legitimate business intent is by definition 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. - 23199
