Scammers often use PDF documents filled with logos. These logos might include FCA, CME, or various stock exchanges. They cram these logos onto fake statements to look official. But think about it – a real stock broker statement doesn’t need logos from all over. It only needs its own logo, address, and reference.
If someone sends you a brochure, having multiple logos makes sense. That brochure might show all the places they've worked with. But a stock broker statement? It should have just the essentials. These scammers add logos and stamps to trick people. They make it seem like everything is in line with official rules. This is a huge part of their scam.
When you see a document with too many logos, be careful. Real financial statements are straightforward. They don't need to show off every logo under the sun. Scammers hope you won't notice. They want you to believe the document is real because of the logos and stamps.
Always check the source. If something feels off, it probably is. Scammers rely on the appearance of legitimacy. They use logos and stamps to create that look. Don't let these fake symbols trick you. Keep your eyes open and trust your gut.
