The forex market (FX) is the world’s largest trading market. Nearly $5 trillion are traded daily. The market opens 24 hours a day. When trading closes in New York it starts again in Tokyo and Hong Kong. Since there are constant price fluctuations, this market can make institutions, companies and individuals a lot of money.

Forex fraud is a growing problem and there is no guaranteed way to avoid it. People under 25 are falling in droves due to the lavish payouts promised. Until recently, older people (those over 50 and in retirement) were considered to be the most vulnerable target. All that, is apparently a trend in the past. Those who currently make up the over 55 age group category have grown somewhat immune to the tricks of the online scammers, the young adult category has become the preferred target now.
