Investment fraud, unfortunately, is more common than most people realize. It’s a broad term encompassing a range of illegal activities involving manipulating financial markets or stealing investors’ money. Some common types of investment fraud include Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, pump-and-dump schemes, and insider trading.
What makes these frauds particularly insidious is their ability to appear legitimate. Fraudsters often present opportunities that seem too good to pass up – high returns with little to no risk, exclusive access to “secret” investments, or complex strategies that promise to outperform the market.
However, there are red flags that can signal potential fraud. One common sign is the promise of guaranteed returns. In the investing world, there’s no such thing as a sure thing. If someone promises you risk-free profits, it’s likely a scam. Similarly, be wary of overly consistent returns. Investments go up and down; if your investment only goes up, no matter what the market is doing, it’s cause for concern.
Pressure to buy immediately is another red flag. Fraudsters often try to create a sense of urgency to prevent you from doing your due diligence. Always take your time and research before investing. Lastly, always be cautious of unregistered investments. Legitimate investments are typically registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (sec) or other regulatory agencies.
Recovering Losses with FINRA Claims

At Haselkorn & Thibaut, we have a proven track record in helping victims of investment fraud recover their losses through FINRA claims. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) is an independent, non-governmental regulator for all securities firms in the United States. It operates the largest dispute resolution forum in the securities industry.
When an investor suffers losses due to misconduct by a broker or brokerage firm, they can file a claim with FINRA. This process involves arbitration or mediation, often quicker and more cost-effective than traditional litigation.
We guide our clients through the process, from filing the claim to representing them in the arbitration proceedings. Our extensive knowledge and experience in securities law, combined with our aggressive approach, have resulted in successful recoveries for our clients.
However, it’s important to note that not all losses are recoverable. The loss must be due to broker misconduct or investment fraud, not market fluctuations or poor investment performance.
