Investment scams are becoming increasingly sophisticated, targeting both experienced investors and those new to the market. Whether you were misled into investing in fake opportunities or promised high returns that didn’t materialise, we can help you navigate your legal options.
What Are Investment Scams?
Investment scams are fraudulent schemes where individuals or companies deceive people into handing over money based on false or misleading information. These scams often promise high returns with little or no risk, but in reality, there is no legitimate investment behind them. Common types include Ponzi or pyramid schemes, where money from new investors is used to pay earlier investors to create the illusion of profit. Other scams involve fake cryptocurrency or forex trading platforms, high-yield investment programs (HYIPs), and bogus opportunities in the stock market or property sector. Fraudulent Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are also a growing concern, with scammers launching fake crypto ventures and disappearing with investors’ funds.
Signs You’ve Been Scammed
You may have been the victim of an investment scam if:
- You were promised unrealistically high returns with little or no risk
- You were pressured to invest quickly or sign documents without fully understanding the investment
- You discovered that the investment platform or opportunity was not registered with any legitimate regulatory authority
- You received conflicting or evasive responses from the person or company offering the investment
- You’ve been unable to access your investment or get your money back
If any of these apply to your situation, we can help you understand your legal options and how to pursue a claim.
