"The best way to stop fraud is to prevent it. We work hard every day to catch and punish white-collar criminals and to get restitution for their victims. But we can't solve every crime. Protect yourself by stopping the scam before the swindler has your money."

State Auditor, John Morrison

Investigate before you Invest.

Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
A high return almost always means high risk.
Never send money to purchase an investment based solely on a
telephone sales pitch.
Do not give out personal information over the phone (social security
number, bank references, financial condition, credit card numbers, etc.).
Never make a check payable to an investment representative.
Never send a check to an address different from that of the
brokerage firm or designated address.
Do not accept computer or clerical errors: verify correction of
problems on the next statement.
Never allow your transaction confirmations to be delivered or
mailed to your investment representative.
Talk with your attorney or family before investing.

Beware of:

High pressure sales tactics.
Offers good for today only.
Very high profits with little or no risk.
Inside or secret information.
Unusual arrangements for collecting funds from investors.
Delayed delivery of products.
Preying on your fears.
