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.
