95% of the "business" stories that the BBC covers are about people overcoming adversity or some other disadvantage. 95% of the financial scams in the UK market themselves as a way to "fight the system" or beat the rich people (look at r/SuperStonk, it isn't active knowledge, it is a moral crusade).
In both cases, the logic is: you can't win, everything is rigged, anyone who is rich already stole from you because weakness and disadvantage is morally superior, you deserve to win because you are disadvantaged...
Enter the guy, who is just a regular guy, selling you a forex trading system to settle your score with the baddies.
Btw, if you don't believe this search for forex trading scams. Almost all of them are: I was just a regular guy like you, I started with £500, now I have this shiny car (rented, ofc), and I am sharing these secret "rich person" systems with yooooooooooou...this is your only opportunity to get rich because the system is so unfair (the only way to get people to take risks that would seem stupid in any other context is crush their self-esteem, and tell them they have no other choice).
