Loss and eligibility review
Trading Scam Checklist Philippines
A scam checklist should be visible before a user clicks an offer, not hidden in a footer. The highest-risk patterns are simple: someone promises daily profit, asks for an OTP, sends an APK, offers to trade for you, or tells you to deposit into a personal wallet or bank account.
Screenshots are weak evidence. A payout image, chat testimonial, or edited dashboard does not prove current payment availability, service eligibility, or typical results. Treat screenshots as marketing unless they are supported by current official sources and your own account-screen verification.
The safest response to pressure is delay. If someone says a bonus, signal group, mentor slot, or deposit window expires immediately, pause and verify the domain, app source, payment route, and risk disclosure first.
