March is Fraud Prevention Month! All month long we will be sharing special content on investment fraud. This will include our regular Question of the Week posts every Wednesday, as well as a special series on Friday, we’re calling Fraudster Fridays. Every Friday we’ll be sharing the story of a famous investment fraud, how they scammed their victims and how you can hopefully avoid falling prey to the next big scam artist.
Our Twitter feed will also be heavily active throughout the month, sharing our posts and sharing investment fraud awareness tips and red flags to watch out for.
Remember, anyone can be a target of fraud. You don’t have to be rich or investing thousands of dollars for fraudsters and scam artists to target you. One third of investment fraud victims are taken for less than $1,000. And, another 27 per cent of victims lose between $1,000 and $5,000. No matter how much is lost, it is very difficult to recover any amount of funds.
