Episode 2 – (Part 2)

The Day She First Talked About Investing

She continued explaining her situation:

“My uncle is teaching me how to invest.”

She said that the method involved using an app called MT5.
At that time, I had never heard of MT5 before.
When I looked it up, I found that it was a legitimate trading platform used worldwide.

I downloaded the app myself.
The app was real.
The interface looked professional, and everything appeared normal.

But the real issue came afterward.

She told me that in order to start trading, I needed to register with a securities company.
The company she introduced was called VelentPartner.

Once I registered, the MT5 screen allowed me to trade gold through that company’s server.

Back then, I thought:

“If I’m using a real trading app, it must be safe.”

I didn’t realize the truth.

Looking back now, I can clearly see the trap:

• MT5 itself is real.
• But the broker you connect to may not be.

Scammers often exploit legitimate tools to make their scheme look authentic.
I didn’t notice this at the time, and I moved on to the next stage—exactly as they intended.

Reflection

This was the turning point.
The moment I connected MT5 to the broker she recommended, the scam had already begun.

They use:

• A real app
• Real charts
• Real-looking trading screens

But behind it is a fake broker, controlling everything.

This experience taught me that:

“A real app does not guarantee a real investment.”

I hope this record helps others avoid the same mistake.
