Spot crude oil has only been developed in China for a few years, but the development trend is amazing. Therefore, many criminals use the name of spot crude oil investment to defraud.

Because there are many platforms in the market now, the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there are some platforms that fish in troubled waters, so some people are deceived. But this is not entirely a scam. Banks now have paper crude oil, and the China Securities Regulatory Commission is about to launch crude oil futures. This has a long history abroad, but it has only recently emerged in our country. Newbies should keep their eyes open and choose a reliable and formal platform.

Nowadays, crude oil scams generally occur on small platforms, usually using two methods:

First, funds do not flow into the market, and orders are placed and the volatility and trend of the market are controlled through the background. Through slight differences and delays, the customer's operation malfunctions, resulting in losses, in order to achieve the purpose of profit;

Second, inductive operations. Cause the customer to lose money by intentionally making mistakes or intentionally influencing the customer's judgment and execution.

Third, false investment and illegal fund-raising. In this way, people are promised high returns to attract funds, and when the funds accumulate to a certain amount, they run away with the money.

1. Whether there is a formal approval document from the government. Generally, there will be a formal approval document from the local governments at all levels and publicized.

2. Whether there is a formal trading license. In addition to the government approval, the formal platform also has a trading license, which is supervised by the financial department;
