Guidelines and precautionary measures to be taken when placing funds with any foreign currency trading company, here are some salient points of the guidelines:

• Stay away from opportunities that sound too good to be true. Get-rich-quick schemes tend to be fraudulent.
• Avoid any company that guarantees large profits or those that promise little or no financial risk. Normally, the higher the promised return, the higher risks involved.
• Don’t trade on margin unless you understand what it means. Certain foreign exchange transactions can make you responsible for losses that greatly exceed any amount you deposited.
• Be cautious of sending or transferring cash on the Internet, by mail or otherwise. It is very easy to transfer funds online, but it is often impossible to get a refund.
• Don’t deal with anyone who won’t give you his or her background. If you are not satisfied that the individual or company you are dealing with its legitimate and true, the best thing to do is avoid transacting and dealing with it.
• Always keep or retain a copy of the contracts, agreements, documents, or any receipts issued by these foreign currency exchange companies. They will be particularly useful in the event that you need to take legal action. A printout of the page of the website may not always be acceptable or sufficient as evidence of the transaction.
