Investment Scams & Fraud

You have worked hard and your parents have worked hard. You’ve scrimped and saved to: buy that house, pay for your car, put some money aside for the kids’ college fund, and just started a retirement fund. Maybe you are now given the responsibility of looking after an aging parent’s finances.

You want to make that money grow, to make it work as hard for you as you have done to get it. You do not want to lose it.

CAUTION! Take care! Be sure you are investing it safely and wisely.

How would you recognize a PONZI scheme? How do you know your financial advisor is honest? Is that “sure-fire” road to riches really the path you should be taking?

You would not be the first person or family to be swindled out of your hard earned cash. You would not be the only senior citizen to lose their life savings or mistakenly “invest” a loved one’s savings bringing heartache in its wake.
