Recognizing Investment Fraud: Common Signs and How It Happens
Table of Contents
No one expects to become the victim of financial misconduct. Often, fraud starts with someone you thought you could trust—a financial advisor or broker who seemed knowledgeable. But there are red flags Lakeland Highlands residents should know about:
- Unauthorized trades: Your advisor buys or sells securities you never approved.
- Misleading advice: They exaggerate investment safety or guarantees, or leave out risks.
- Illiquid products: You’re sold complicated investments that are nearly impossible to sell or cash out—even when you need your money.
- Ponzi or pyramid schemes: Promises of “can’t-miss” returns masking classic fraud tactics.
Let’s bring this home with an example:
Imagine Sally, a retiree in Lakeland Highlands, trusting her advisor with her nest egg. He pressures her into “exclusive” real estate funds. The paperwork’s thick—she doesn’t quite understand. Months pass. Suddenly, she can’t get clear answers about her balance or withdrawals. She realizes she may have lost a large portion of her savings. Stories like this happen too frequently—and they’re not Sally’s fault. They’re the fault of advisors who put profit ahead of people.
