Frauds and Scams Prevention
A smart investor:
- Avoids “get rich quick” and “can't lose” schemes; if it looks too good to be true, it probably is
- Researches investment opportunities independently
- Is suspicious of requests to wire money out of the country
- Never discloses personal information on an unexpected call or other communication
- Ensures the use of strong passwords and good data security practices such as two-factor authentication on accounts containing financial data
- Never feels rushed and ignores over-the-top sales pitches and pressure to invest right on the spot
