Scott Morris' latest guide gives investors a practical framework for investigating negative trading reviews, including how to check reviewer identities, uncover hidden incentives, verify accusations, and distinguish legitimate criticism from potentially misleading content.
-- Scott Morris, founder of The Oil Money, has released an investor due diligence guide addressing the credibility of negative online reviews about trading educators. The resource shows investors how to investigate the people and evidence behind critical claims before allowing online commentary to shape their opinion of an educator or trading platform.

The guide comes as fake negative reviews remain a significant problem across online review platforms. Trustpilot's 2025 Trust Report shows that the company removed 627,000 fake one-star reviews during 2024 alone. The figure shows how easily negative reviews can be manipulated - and why it's worth checking the facts before taking a damaging claim at face value.
Morris applies that principle specifically to negative trading reviews. Instead of assuming criticism is either accurate or malicious, he encourages investors to investigate who published it, whether the author can be identified, what evidence supports the allegations, and whether the reviewer has a financial interest in directing readers toward an alternative service.
The guide also draws attention to reviews that use definitive accusations without providing documentation, verified complaints, regulatory findings, or independently checkable data. Another warning sign is a website built primarily around negative reviews, particularly when its ownership, authorship, or commercial relationships are difficult to establish.
For investors researching a trading educator, Morris recommends going beyond reviews altogether. His due diligence framework includes checking performance through independent third-party sources, examining drawdowns as well as returns, researching findings from recognized financial authorities, and comparing information across multiple independent sources.
The guide also recommends establishing how an educator or trading provider handles investor capital. Where automated trading is involved, investors should determine whether their funds remain in their own segregated brokerage account rather than being transferred to the company providing the technology or education.
Morris founded The Oil Money after identifying patterns in crude oil markets, later developing the business into a platform covering trading education, software, indicators, and algorithmic technology. His latest guide extends that educational focus to the research investors conduct before deciding which trading information and providers they consider credible.
