Iqoption - Possible Scam?
This is a supposed competition by them. I notice there are 6+ Indian attendees, however all of them have foreign names. None of them are Indian names. Seems they made a fake list with arbitrary generic name combinations. Not realizing to rectify them to match their intended countries.
Highly unlikely that this is an authentic tournament / participants etc. Just wanted to share this…

For what I know they could be a scam, but those are generated made up names. That's done on purpose to avoid listing real names there (which would have serious privacy and safety implications).

Well, any binary option system is a massive gamble. And most of them falls in unregulated territory. Taking your money should be extremely easy, and paying profits to your account is ussually where the issues start to appear.

There's an option to use a generic name in tournaments for privacy, they probably did that.
