Any person or entity that can significantly influence a stock\u2019s price is a <\/span><b>market operator<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. A trader with just \u20b95 lakhs could influence a \u20b910 Cr market capital company, while a company worth \u20b91000 Cr could be manipulated using \u20b95-10 Cr.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They create excitement around some stocks by peddling ideas through<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ad-powered posts on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Telegram and Whatsapp groups,<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SMSes, and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emails.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These operators work in sync. They buy and sell penny stocks among each other to artificially pump up the price. Sometimes, promoters may be involved, too. They trade with related parties or other operators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the purpose of such market operators is to manipulate retail investors, let\u2019s call them scammers. Scammers can get access to your phone numbers and email addresses by malicious social engineering and purchasing your contact information. Some predatory lending apps and free online services are often willing to sell your contact information, as it is a revenue source for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The prospects of quick gains can sound exciting. Small investors may flock in, pumping the price higher. Market operators quietly exit (<\/span><b>dump<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) at high prices. Trading volumes suddenly fall. The price starts declining. When small investors try to restrict losses by selling, there are not many buyers. The selling pressure further causes the prices to decline. Small investors are left with big losses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zerodha.com\/varsity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Frame-622.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-16348\" src=\"https:\/\/zerodha.com\/varsity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Frame-622-300x186.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zerodha.com\/varsity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Frame-622-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/zerodha.com\/varsity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Frame-622-1024x636.png 1024w, https:\/\/zerodha.com\/varsity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Frame-622-768x477.png 768w, https:\/\/zerodha.com\/varsity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Frame-622-1536x954.png 1536w, https:\/\/zerodha.com\/varsity\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Frame-622.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to avoid falling for such scams?<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Penny stocks could be rigged, bankrupt, or dying.
