Billions of dollars have been lost to crooks who have set up phony investment schemes. Some of the most-recognized names in the history of fraud used investment schemes to bilk massive amounts of money from hopeful investors. Always remember that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t true at all. Check out investments thoroughly before you hand over a cent. Regulatory agencies like the FTC and state’s attorney’s general usually have resources available to help consumers avoid fraud.
