Dodgy trading platforms & influencers targeting mums

I wanted to share a really concerning story about lifestyle influencers cashing in on their followers by urging them to place risky trades.

Mums in particular are being targeted with the promise of passive income by fellow mums who make it look easy. But this investigation found influencers are urging people to place risky trades on offshore, unregulated platforms and people are being lied to and losing money.

The platforms this investigation looks at are Vantage Markets and Core Signals (also being promoted by the likes of Tommy Robinson and manosphere people).

It's really sad to see influencers use their platforms for this and put other mums at risk, for quick profit for them. I wanted to warn other mums who might be at risk.

Thanks for the warning. As a general rule, always be wary of 'easy' money.

This is no different to mums being targeted by MLMs and has nothing to do with “influencers.”
