Forex fraud is a growing problem and there is no guaranteed way to avoid it. People under 25 are falling in droves due to the lavish payouts promised. Until recently, older people (those over 50 and in retirement) were considered to be the most vulnerable target. All that, is apparently a trend in the past. Those who currently make up the over 55 age group category have grown somewhat immune to the tricks of the online scammers, the young adult category has become the preferred target now.
