View MoreThey said: Nice connecting with you over here, by the way I’m from Texas, How about you, where are you from? 2:44 PM Classic opener - vague enough to seem personal but generic enough to blast to hundreds of people. Here's a response that would help you filter: "Texas! Nice. Which part? I've got family near the Guadalupe River - ever make it out that way?" Why this works as a filter: A real Texan would naturally respond with their actual area or at least engage with the geography A bot/scammer will either ignore the specific question entirely and pivot to their pitch, or give another vague non-answer If they claim to be from near the Guadalupe River area, you can follow up with more specific local questions The pattern you're looking for: Real people engage with specifics. Bots and scammers deflect back to their script. If they respond with something like "Oh nice, yeah Texas is great! So what do you do for work?" or immediately pivot to business/investment/crypto - that's your red flag. A genuine person would actually answer where in Texas or engage with the geographic detail you gave them. Want to run their response by me once you get it? Here's what they replied with: "Am from San Antonio" "Well I’m an expert in GLOBAL MARKETS mining/trading and also a license FXTM GLOBAL professional trader." 2:52 PM Ha! There it is - classic scam pattern. They gave you the bare minimum on the Texas question (San Antonio is a safe, common answer), then immediately pivoted to their pitch without any natural conversation flow. Red flags all over this: "GLOBAL MARKETS mining/trading" in all caps - trying to sound impressive/official "license FXTM GLOBAL professional trader" - awkward phrasing, random capitalization No actual human curiosity about you, just straight to the sales pitch Real traders don't cold-pitch strangers on social media Here's how you could respond to waste their time a bit before blocking: "Oh interesting! San Antonio is great. So with the FXTM thing - is that the Forex Time broker? I've heard mixed things about their regulatory status after they restructured. Which jurisdiction is your license through? I've been reading about the CySEC vs FCA differences lately." This does two things: Shows just enough knowledge to make them think you might be a worthy target Asks specific questions they likely can't answer without googling But honestly? This one's clearly a scammer. You could just block them now, or if you want to waste their time, keep asking increasingly specific regulatory/technical questions and watch them fumble or copy-paste generic responses. Your call on how much energy you want to spend on this one! They said: "GLOBAL MARKETS simply means foreign exchange, It’s a simple way anyone can make money off the foreign exchange markets, as it involves buying currencies at a lower price and selling when high, just like stock but with currencies." I got nothing but time. I wanna see how many times they respond before they just stop talking to me. 2:55 PM Perfect! Let's string them along with just enough interest to keep them engaged, but throw in things that will frustrate them or make them work harder. Here's your response: "Right, I get the basic concept of forex - buy low, sell high. But I'm curious about your specific setup. What platform do you use for charting? I've been comparing TradingView vs MT4 vs some of the newer ones. And what's your typical position size as a percentage of account equity? I'm trying to figure out if this is something I could do with like $500 or if you really need more capital to make it worthwhile." This keeps them on the hook because: You sound interested enough to continue You're asking semi-technical questions that make you seem knowledgeable (harder mark) The $500 mention might make them think you're small-time, but still potentially exploitable Real technical questions require them to either know their stuff or copy-paste generic answers The game here is to slowly increase the technical depth while occasionally circling back to seem interested but cautious. Eventually they'll either: Get frustrated and ghost Push HARD for you to "invest" Make a mistake that's obviously scammy Let me know what they say next and we'll keep this rolling! They came back with: "It’s something you can start with as low as $100 but the brighter part is higher the capital higher the profitAnd our percentage is just 10%" 3:05 PM Oh they're going for the close already! Notice how they completely ignored your technical questions and went straight to "you can start with $100" and mentioning "our percentage" - that's the scam reveal. They want your money. Let's pull them back and make them work harder: "Wait, 10% of what exactly? Like a management fee, or commission on profits, or what? And you said 'our' - so this is a managed account situation? I thought you were teaching people to trade themselves. Also you didn't answer about the platform - do you guys use MT4, MT5, or something proprietary? And is this through FXTM directly or are you running your own fund?" This does several things: Acts confused about their fee structure (which they definitely glossed over intentionally) Catches them on the "our" slip - now they have to explain the business model Still pushing on the technical questions they keep dodging Sounds cautious but not hostile - keeping you as a potential mark The more questions you pile on without actually committing to anything, the more frustrated they'll get. They want easy marks who just hand over money, not people who ask detailed questions. What do they say? They came back with three messages: "We do use MT4 and MT5 for trading" "For the 10% we will be the one doing the trading and with that you don’t have to face any risk in your trading" "And we’re charging the 10% from the profit you made after trading" 3:12 PM Beautiful - they're in full pitch mode now. Notice the contradictions: "you don't have to face any risk" - literally impossible in forex trading, complete lie They'll "do the trading" but take 10% of profit - classic managed account scam setup They're being more responsive because they think they're reeling you in Let's act interested but throw in some paranoia to make them work harder: "OK so if I'm understanding right, I send you money, you trade it on MT4/MT5, and if you make profit you keep 10%? But how do I know you're actually trading and not just running off with the money? Like is there a way I can have view-only access to watch the trades happen in real-time? And what happens if you lose money - do I just lose everything or is there a stop-loss policy? Also is this like a pooled fund or individual accounts? Sorry for all the questions, I just got burned on a crypto thing last year so I'm being extra careful now lol" This: Shows continued interest ("if I'm understanding right...") Asks how to verify legitimacy (which they can't actually provide) Mentions getting scammed before (makes you seem cautious but also potentially vulnerable) "lol" at the end keeps it friendly so they don't bail Let's see how they handle the trust questions! They said: "Of course yes you will have access to the trading account but I’ll be the doing the trading and you’ll see how the whole stuff goes from your end" 3:17 PM They're trying to sound reassuring but being super vague. "You'll see how the whole stuff goes" is not how legitimate traders talk. Let's dig into the logistics to make them squirm: **"Okay that sounds better. So walk me through the actual process - do I open the MT4 account myself with a broker and then give you like an investor password? Or do you open it and give me login details? Because I've heard horror stories about people opening accounts and then the 'trader' just withdraws everything. And which broker specifically? Like if you're using FXTM you mentioned earlier, I want to check their reviews first. Also what's your track record look like - do you have verified statements I could see from other clients? Even just like the last 3-6 months of returns? Not trying to be annoying, just want to make sure this is legit before I put any money in 😅"** This response: Asks specific logistical questions about account access (harder to fake) Brings up the withdrawal concern directly Asks for proof/track record (which they almost certainly can't provide legitimately) Stays friendly with the emoji but keeps pressing The more detail they have to provide, the more likely they slip up or ghost What's their next move? "Once you’ve created an account with us after your deposit you’ll see how the trading is going" 3:24 PM Oh that's beautiful - they completely dodged EVERY specific question and went straight to "deposit first, details later." Classic scam move. They won't show you proof, won't name a specific broker, won't explain the actual mechanics. Just "deposit and you'll see!" Let's act like we're about to bite but throw one more wrench: **"Wait so I deposit before I even see any of your past results? That seems backwards lol. Most legit traders I've looked at show their track record upfront on like MyFXBook or something. Do you have a verified MyFXBook account I could check out? Just want to see the win rate and drawdown history before I commit any cash. Also you still didn't say which specific broker - is it FXTM or someone else? I need to know so I can check if they're regulated in the US. And roughly how many clients are you managing right now?"** This: Calls out the backwards logic (politely) Mentions MyFXBook (a real verification platform they definitely don't have) STILL asking which broker (they keep avoiding this) Asks about regulation and client base Not saying no, but not saying yes either You're making them work HARD for nothing. Let's see if they get frustrated or try a different angle! They said: "The link I sent to you not quite long is our broker" They may be getting ready to bail. 3:31 PM Ha! "The link I sent to you not quite long" - except they never sent you a link. They're either: Copy-pasting from a script and forgot to actually send the link Testing if you'll just go along with it Getting sloppy because they're getting frustrated Let's call them on it while still playing dumb: **"Hmm I don't see any link in our messages? Maybe it didn't come through? Can you send it again? I want to make sure I'm looking at the right broker before we go any further. And you still didn't answer about the MyFXBook thing - do you have verified trading results I can look at? That's pretty standard for anyone legit. Without seeing past performance I'm basically just trusting a stranger on the internet with my money lol"** This: Points out they never sent a link (catching them in the lie) Still sounds interested but cautious Keeps hammering on the verification they can't provide "lol" keeps it light They're either about to: Send you a sketchy phishing link Get aggressive/pushy about depositing NOW Ghost entirely Either way, you've wasted a good chunk of their time. What do they come back with? ----------------------------------- Yeah.... you're a bot.... me and Claude.AI had a good chuckle at your technique... Thanks for the content. Goat fucker.
