Invest in amazon £250 , I’m guessing this is a scam .

hollywoodrox

seen this a couple times on YouTube ads etc , I always say if it’s too good to be true it obviously is 

  I don’t see any endorsement buy amazon etc so it looks dubious.

  It looks like it’s to do with share trading  

  Anyone here looked into it , I googled but there’s loads of stuff about regular amazon scams

If it looks too good to be true it is.

If any unsolicited communication says 'Invest' then it's a scam.

It’s probably a similar “investment” to that we make in buying new guitar equipment- loses half its value instantly then slowly devalues, but we stupidly think it’s going to be worth something in the future.

Think of it this way.

If you had a surefire way of making money from an investment would you spend a load of money advertising on social media trying to attract randoms or would you keep it quiet and obtain money to invest yourself.

I'm taking it your job isn't marketing for IFAs then.

I mean at way over the standard returns you might expect from what an IFA might offer like a stock tracking ISA.

Yeah like Geoff needs the money!

It might be ok. To buy Amazon  shares is expensive , a single one will cost £3400, plus fees . The £250 thing is you buy a part of a share . I don't know if it is a good idea , probably   not?
