Forex broker scams, are they really that common?

I'm starting to get into forex trading, but the whole forex broker scams thing is kinda freaking me out. There's so many brokers out there, and everyone has a different opinion on who's legit and who's not. I feel like I'm drowning in options and its hard to know who to trust. I've spent hours reading reviews and still dont feel any closer to making a decision. Does anyone have any solid advice on what red flags to look for or how to narrow down the list? It's really overwhelming, and I'd hate to fall for something shady.

EDIT:
After doing more research, I finally found a resource that helped me make sense of all the options out there. Check out this link if you're also feeling overwhelmed.
