Staying Protected Online

 

How to Protect Yourself Online

Phishing

Phishing

Fraudsters often try to steal your personal information by impersonating trusted companies or their employees. Be cautious of emails with domains that look similar but are slightly altered. These emails frequently contain spelling errors or poor formatting. Always verify the sender before clicking any links or downloading attachments.

Secure browsing

Secure Browsing

Ensure that website URLs always start with https:// indicating a secure connection before entering any sensitive information.

viruses and malware

Viruses and Malware

Avoid downloading files or software from unknown or untrusted sources, as they may contain viruses or malware that can compromise your devices.

Disclosing data

Disclosing Data

Never share your passwords, credit card details, or other sensitive account information with anyone. PlusTrades.com and other reputable companies will never request such information via email or phone. Also, avoid storing personal data on unsecured devices where it can be accessed by malware or hackers.

Consult Regulators

Consult Regulators

Before engaging with any investment firm, check the official regulator websites in your country to verify which entities are licensed to offer investment services and confirm their official domains. Regulators often provide lists of approved and non-approved domains, which can help you identify legitimate companies.

Beware of Suspicious Contacts Impersonating PlusTrades.com

Always remain vigilant and report any suspicious communication claiming to be from PlusTrades.com.

Important Customer Notice: No Investment Advice & Security Warning

No Investment or Trading Advice from PlusTrades.com

PlusTrades.com does not provide investment or trading advice. Our services do not include asset management or guarantees of profits or returns on investments. Employees of PlusTrades.com will never contact you to persuade you to invest, open specific positions, or guarantee profits.

If you receive such communications, please verify the sender’s details against the official company information in the footer of our website and notify us immediately. You should also report such contact to your local authorities as it may be fraudulent.

No Requests for Deposits or Money Transfers

Under no circumstances will any PlusTrades.com employee contact you requesting deposits or instructing you to wire money to any account. The decision to fund your trading account is entirely yours. If you need assistance, please reach out to our Customer Support team.

The only time we will contact you about payments is if your account falls below margin requirements (a margin call). Any other requests for deposits or money transfers are likely attempts to defraud you.

PlusTrades.com does not manage your account—your account is fully managed by you. All payments to fund your account will clearly show our company’s legal name as the billing descriptor. Our official payment details and methods are available at all times via our online cashier.

High Risk Investment Warning

Please be reminded that CFDs are complex instruments with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. No profits are promised, as clearly stated in our High Risk Investment Warning.

Beware of Scammers and Fake Websites

Scammers sometimes register domains similar to ours, with minor spelling differences, and copy our website’s design to deceive visitors. These fake websites can appear very convincing. Always confirm you are using the official PlusTrades.com site by checking the URL and our contact details found in the website footer.
