These schemes often masquerade as legitimate investments

with convincing websites, glowing testimonials and persuasive marketing material. However, it’s crucial to remember that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

One of the most notorious forms of investment fraud is the Ponzi Scheme. This method involves collecting money from new investors to pay off earlier ones. Eventually, the scheme crumbles when the debts exceed the incoming funds, leaving many investors penniless.
