Why all these Scams?
As the Binary Options method of trading is still fairly new, it has become a fertile ground for scammers to thrive.

So, this is why we can see more scams pop-up every day in binary options niche rather than Forex.
Many traders have unknowingly fallen into the hands of either scam brokers or signal services all in the name of "trading binary options profitably".
No matter the type of broker, all of them would require you deposit in order to start trading but only legitimate brokers will allow you to withdraw your funds without any stress.
The scam broker does almost everything a legitimate broker would do in order to satisfy their clients except of course, during withdrawal of funds.
One sure way to detect binary options scams is to conduct a search online on any search engine with the keywords "Company name + scam" or "Company name + reviews" without quotes.
Read as many reviews and testimonials as possible from various clients expressing their views about the Company on different review sites before buying any binary software or depositing funds into any broker.
Other minor qualities that may help you suspect the Company in question are:
General:
- Lack of good customer support
- Low quality website design
- Suspicious video testimonials
- Non-secured website (i.e. Absence of SSL certified website)
- Not Regulated by well-known Organizations
- Mouth-Watering Bonuses
Domain Related:
- New Domain Name
- Alexa Ranking
- Domain Age
Best Recommendations:
- Don't Deposit more than you can afford to lose with any broker. Always start with the minimum amount the broker recommends so as not to lose much assuming they were to be scam.
- Always research online for a particular broker or signal service before joining.
- Even if your trading is good and you're making nice profits, always do a test withdrawal before depositing more funds. This is to verify the credibility of the broker.
- Do not buy any binary options signal software without being confident that the product actually works. Please always visit this page to find the updated list of scam products in the market.
- If a program looks too good to be true, conduct further research to verify the authenticity of the program.
- Do not give out your social security number or any other sensitive information like PayPal email and password to unknown persons even if they were requested by the Company itself.
- Logically, you should run away from sites claiming you could make up to $1 Million per day trading binary options
- If you've been scammed and you have proofs to show that you you didn't receive the services promised by the vendor, you can file a dispute against them with either PayPal or your Credit Card Company depending on the method of Payment.
