Hello all! I am a 41-year-old male that just started investing at age 39 and I feel like I am way behind the game. I have recently come into some money that will make me feel comfortable to retire one day and I never thought I would see this amount of money ever in my life. I am currently investing with Robinhood and Acorns. My brother is a senior partner at a company called OneAscent. I am adding this detail so that I can say something about it later. I have someone I know who is trying to get me to sign up for a website called hedgefundtrades.com.
I have tried to look up if this website is a scam and I have not gotten direct answers. I told my brother about this and since he is 25 years in the Finacial Advisor industry and a partner of a big firm, I felt like I could trust his judgment. He said he did not trust the wording on the website and the first thing I noticed that Was unusual as the website did not even have the little lock symbol next to the web address, which normally means that the site is secure. That was a red flag to me.
I just want to know if there’s anybody out there who uses this website and I would like any information that could tell me whether this website is a scam or not. I don’t feel safe moving a couple thousand dollars of bitcoin to this only to lose it, so I am trying to do my due diligence and be as safe as I can because I don’t want my bank account being attached to an amount of money that I never thought I would have a chance at. It’s my future, my children’s future and possibly even their children’s future, and it would hate to get scammed out of a dime of money.
I am new here so I am sorry if I have posted something that is not allowed, but I just wanted to introduce myself and thank you in advance for any help or insight you may be able to give. Hope everyone has an excellent Sunday! ✌🏻❤️
