HIBT Trading Mentorship Red Flags: How to Spot Scams
With over $200M lost to crypto scams in Vietnam alone last year (Chainalysis 2025), spotting HIBT trading mentorship red flags has become crucial for investors. Here’s how to separate legitimate programs from potential scams.
1. Too-Good-To-Be-True Promises
Like a “get rich quick” scheme, many fake mentorship programs promise:
- “Guaranteed” 100% monthly returns
- Secret trading algorithms
- No risk strategies
Real mentors will tell you that all trading carries risk. According to Vietnam’s State Securities Commission, 78% of traders lose money in their first year.
2. Lack of Verifiable Track Record
Authentic programs will show:
- Public trading history (via MyFxBook etc.)
- Verified student testimonials
- Transparent fee structure
Watch for Vietnamese phrases like “lịch sử giao dịch không minh bạch” (non-transparent trading history) in reviews.
3. Pressure to Deposit Funds
Legitimate mentors teach you to trade on your own account. Scammers often:
- Demand you transfer crypto to their wallet
- Claim special “members-only” pools
- Use high-pressure sales tactics
Vietnam’s tiêu chuẩn an ninh blockchain (blockchain security standards) require all funds to remain in your control.
4. Missing Educational Content
A real HIBT trading mentorship focuses on education:
- Structured lesson plans
- Risk management training
- Market analysis frameworks

5. No Community or Support
Check for:

- Responsive mentors
- Regular Q&A sessions
According to 2025 data, Vietnam’s crypto community grew 320% year-over-year – authentic programs will have local language support.
