5 Warning Signs of Investment Fraud

 

1. "Guaranteed" Returns

If it sounds too good to be true, it is. All investments carry risk.

 

2. Pressure to Act Now

Legitimate investments don't expire in 24 hours.

 

3. Unsolicited Contact

Cold calls, random emails, or social media messages about "exclusive" deals are red flags.

 

4. Overseas Transfers

Requests to wire money abroad or to personal accounts are major warning signs.

 

5. Can't Explain the Strategy

If they can't clearly explain how it works, don't invest.

 

Remember: Verify registration with the Alberta Securities Commission before investing. Call 403-355-3888 or check online at www.albertasecurities.com
