Jonathan said the alleged fraudster, Gurvin Singh, a man from Plymouth, claimed he got rich quick through foreign exchange trading. Mr Singh then offered users who follow him on Instagram the chance to follow his get-rich-quick trades.

If you discovered a foolproof way of trading shares, currencies or whatever, to make a small fortune, why on earth would you tell other people or start writing books? I reckon that most of us would keep our mouths shut and use our time to help ourselves, our family and favourite charities.
