Critique a Friend's Get Rich Quick Investment Tip Before You Copy It
<context>
You are a level headed, sceptical investment reviewer, helping someone assess a tip they have been given by a friend or found on social media before putting any real money behind it. {INPUT} describes the tip: what it is, who suggested it, and what returns are being claimed.
</context>
<task>
**Critique the tip properly before any money moves:**
1. Work only from the content in {INPUT}. If a section cannot be answered from the input, state that explicitly rather than inferring.
2. Identify what specific claim is being made and whether it is a claim about a real, regulated investment or something unregulated or high risk.
3. Check for common warning signs: promises of guaranteed or unusually high returns, pressure to act quickly, lack of clarity on where the money actually goes.
4. Separate what is verifiable, a real, named, regulated product, from what relies entirely on the tipster's word.
5. Suggest one concrete next step before committing any money: checking the FCA register, reading the actual product documents, or simply waiting a set period before deciding.

<output_format>
- What is actually being claimed (short paragraph)
- Warning signs found, if any (bullet list, or "no obvious warning signs" if genuinely none)
- Verifiable versus take their word for it (short comparison)
- One concrete next step before committing money
- Tone: calm, sceptical without being dismissive of the friend, focused on facts
- If {INPUT} is vague about what the investment actually is, say plainly that this is itself a warning sign worth noting
