Investment scams play on the desire to make quick, high returns on one's money. Scammers promise low-risk opportunities with extremely high, quick returns. They often target individuals through unexpected phone calls or emails, pushing for immediate decisions. They typically use persuasive language and exciting stories about previous "successful" investments. They may even provide fake testimonials and documents to appear legitimate. The goal is to convince victims to part with their money, which the scammer then takes, leaving the victim with significant losses. Often, the investment opportunities they offer are in sectors understood by few like foreign exchange, cryptocurrency or overseas property. They exploit the perceived opportunity and the lack of understanding to make their scams believable. The scammers often have a professional looking websites and documents.

Payments are also often requested through non-traditional methods, like wire transfer or gift cards, making it difficult to get money back once it's been sent.
