You know that tiny corner of the NASDAQ where new tickers seem to teleport from $4 to $40 in a blink - and every chatroom guru claims ‘inside intel?’

Nick Saunders, CEO at WeBull mentioned this the other day in a post on LinkedIn…

Well, the hottest sparkler right now is PHH – a Chinese skincare micro-cap that floated last Christmas at $4 and has already screamed past $41, an 892% move in barely six months.

Volume is thinning while price keeps shifting higher - classic pump-and-dump footprints.

And PHH isn't alone. A string of fresh-listeds have whipsawed 50-100% intraday before crash-landing once the fraudsters cash out.

  The pattern:

1. Hype storm on encrypted chat.

2. Retail FOMO piles in.

3. Fraudsters quietly dump into the spike.

4. Price collapses, accounts implode, and the influencers ghost.

Enter the AI Deepfake Hustle

What turbo-charges this scam cycle isn't a new chart setup – it's synthetic credibility.
Fraudsters are now cloning famous analysts with generative AI: lifelike videos of a ‘celebrity’ mentor urging you to ‘get in before Wall Street wakes up,’ blasted across WhatsApp groups.

The tech is terrifyingly cheap…

Scrape a few YouTube clips, feed them through a GAN, splice in an AI voice, and boom -instant authority shilling the next micro-cap rocket.

These twats are everywhere.

Spotting the Con Before It Spots You

How can you spot these cons and understand how to completely ignore them?

• Float and fundamentals first. PHH's public float is under 5 million shares and annual sales barely top $2 million. When valuation and liquidity scream "science fiction," size positions for crash-landing.

• Verify the mouthpiece. Analysts worth listening to publish on official channels, not random WhatsApp broadcasts. Don't be a mug.

• Check regulators' naughty lists. FINRA, ASIC, FMA - bookmark their alerts. Seriously.

• Demand receipts, not rumours. SEC filings and cash-flow tables trump screenshots every bloody time.

• Upgrade your scam radar. If a ‘mentor’ promises triple-digit returns, pressures you off-platform, or sets fake deadlines, assume you're exit liquidity. You're being played.

Your 5-Minute Upgrade Plan

Here's the streamlined checklist that keeps your capital safe and compounding, with direct links to level-up when you're done.

1. Read one quality 10-K each week (click here for SEC’s guidance).
   Scan revenue, margins, and cash flows. You'll spot red flags in seconds once you've read a dozen. No shortcuts here.

2. Size every trade by systems, not YOLO.
   Bet small enough to survive so you can grow - simple maths and systems that beats adrenaline every time. Don't chuck darts at a dartboard.

3. Practice ‘verify, then trust.’
   Screenshots and WhatsApp clips aren't evidence; SEC filings, audited numbers, and official press releases are. Stop being a spreadsheet nerd about the wrong things.

4. Stay in communities that challenge you, not cheerlead you.
   Debate sharpens your edge; echo chambers dull it. Join our vetted Discord for real-time critiques at fink.money/upgrade. We're all whores for a good cash extraction here.

5. Systemise 90% of your investing.
   Dollar-cost into broad, low-fee assets so you're never tempted by the next glitter bomb. Hit and hope is for mugs.
