Share trading scams

Sadly I've been scammed not once but twice with share trading scams. And I've been inundated with scam calls trying to get me hooked again. Catch me once, catch me twice but I won't be scammed again.
 
Hi Traceyd. There is a computer add on program called Mail Washer and the basic program is free. What it does is attach itself to the server at your ISP and each time you click on it at the start of your session all the items in you inbox come up on the server and NOT on your machine. Gives you the opportunity to delete them as spam before they get to your machine. I find it a good help as you can delete them before they get a chance to get onto your machine and cause all sorts of havoc.

Take care and stay safe

Alexander.
 
Thanks for posting this @traceyd

Can you share a little more info for other members?
First was Marketrip and second was Global stable Fx. I was able to get some money back from Marketrip but the other was paid via bicoin and isn't refundable. Only thing that can be done is for my accountant to note it as a capital loss that can be offset against any capitol gain I may have to pay in the future.
 
Not realy. Try the program for yourself and you will be able to remove anything as spam.

I found the app but it was phone calls that were the problem. They didn't get into my phone or computer, they just fooled me into believing they were a legitimate company.
