A netizen shared how he paid about $1.7k for an investment course by a “famous investment coach” in Singapore, where he learned nothing.
He shared that almost everything that the coach taught him at the investment course could be found on YouTube for free, and he also lost about $12k in Forex trading.
Here is what he said
“Throughout my 2 years in NS, I managed to save about $10k to $12k by the time I ORDed, and wanted to grow that money through investments.
I knew nothing about investments at the time, and the only thing I knew was *name redacted*, a famous investment expert in Singapore, I’m sure you have heard of him.
So I paid about $1.7k to attend one of his investment courses, where there was a free 3.5 hour seminar about the basics of forex trading and investments in general.
He then later invited us to the “advanced classes” of his investment course that ran for about 4 days, and he said there was a “one time promotional fee” of $1.7k, and that the usual fee was $2k.
And to be honest, personally, I feel like I learned nothing throughout the whole 4 days of the investment course. Half the time he appeared to be talking to himself. Anyway, I later went online and found the same things that he was teaching, was availalable for free on YouTube.
Everything that he taught in the investment course could be found on YouTube, and I could’ve saved that $1.7k…
Anyway long story short, I lose the whole of my NS savings through Forex trading, and I do have some other money in Crypto, but they are in the red now, so my losses could be even worse.”
