The Foreign Exchange market exclusivity was big banks, fund managers then after brokerages and large corporations were involved, and ultimately every individual who has a computer with internet access like you and me.Because the pyramids remain in the forex ...
Let's be clear: the pyramids in forex, do not exist. The forex, "Foreign Exchange Market" or Foreign Exchange, exists as such, being the interbank market, through which countries
trade with each other. While that is a lucrative and high-yield market, it is also true that it is a risky market.
It is very easy today, contact a broker, wire money, and through software, operate in the foreign exchange market from virtually any computer. Being able to obtain yields operating the currency market, it is another story.
Analysis and market research, which allows us to infer the future appreciation or depreciation of a currency relative to another, is nothing less than a profession. Simply look for a job online, to learn that only 10% of those who venture into this type of investment, manage to obtain and maintain results over time, because exactly what generates profits, can create losses in the same ratio: leverage.
This market allows with a small amount of money that acts as a "guarantee" of the transaction, we can buy / sell a significant amount of a given currency against another. Thus, in a few minutes, and given the volatility of this market, we can win (or lose) a significant amount of money, which is not limited to the "guarantee" of the operation.
What if there are companies that, using the facade of forex offer impressive returns in short periods of time, but have little or nothing to do with the currency market.
Of course, advertising and yields (virtual, of course) are fantastic which leads us not only to double our "investment" but to drag in the same all relative, friend or acquaintance who walks nearby.
We are humans. Why not take advantage of a "legal" way to get a lot of money in a short time? Because they are pyramids. Simply pick up money, and put together a string, where the first investors get returns (which some manage to withdraw.
Most leave the capital for their "profits" grow exponentially) that bring new investors to obtain yields that bring new investors, and so the cycle repeats and power.
The estimated these "companies" average duration is one year and a half. At that time, investors begin to pretend withdraw their "profits" and obstacles appear. An audit, a bank, an intermediary is to blame for the delay. The company serves even the phones, but how much you get are excuses. Let alone money. Panicking, forums, communities, free associations inversores.Aparecen some happy collectors claiming that received the requested capital are created. Rekindling hope, the waters abate, and the company earns more time (and more money from the clueless who continue "investing").
In the end, no charges, the company disappears, and investors are with your hands (and pockets) empty, given the legal vacuum that afternoon, the investor discovers.
As we distinguish the pyramids then?
1 social legislation of the country of constitution
Most of the companies engaged in the financial pyramids are located in tax havens, or countries without specific legislation: Bermuda, Panama Islands, among others, and become countries with legislation, never complete the registration process that allows them investment work legally.
2 Attracting money.
In a real, registered and regulated broker, money is deposited in an account. No one can withdraw or deposit money in it, rather than the owner. In the case of the pyramids, the money back, ends up in tax havens, in an account in the name of "company" that provides the service and that little or nothing has to do with the broker, for alleged "intermediary" accounts.
3 fixed Profitability
The profitability of the forex market is variable. We can talk about averages or estimates, but never a fixed return. Much less can guarantee results.
4 Access to account statements or money
All brokers provide direct access to their customers, ie its investors. Simply enter the website of the broker (never intermediary) to view the status of your money. Through a simple form, you can cancel the account and withdraw the full account balance, or make partial withdrawals, which are proceeding in the time it takes to undertake an inter-bank transfer.
