Scams & Frauds - Financial Crimes Exposed!

It's a funny old world, you go through life expecting the best from people, expecting honesty, judging people by your principles and generally hoping they are as honest as you are, however, from time to time you get let down. You run into a fraud, scamster, con man or a "scheister". Often you don't see him or her coming and "bang!" your money's gone. Almost everybody over 40 has experienced that sick feeling you get when it's just dawned on you that "that bloke has ripped me off!" By the time you have realised it, he's long gone. Often moved on to yet greener pastures.  It may have been a bogus charity, he may have been selling something door to door, it may have been money spent to join some multi-level marketing scheme that doesn't work, or possibly a tradesman over quoting on a job around your home and then providing you with a second rate job. In effect, all of these people have stolen from you, just as if they had broken into your house in the dead of night and cleared you out.

But there is an even bigger con man (or woman) on the horizon. The Investment Opportunity Provider. This "species" leaves all the others in their wake when it comes to upsetting lives. Because they not only steal your money, but.. this is the worst part.. they leave you living in hope that you are about to become rich. Yes, within one or two years you will be lying blissfully aboard your yacht moored off the coast of Monaco. You will own a Sydney Harbour front property... you'll be worth millions! And they can show you exactly how it's done. 

These people are smooth, very smooth in fact. They have been at it for years. You don't even suspect they aren't telling the truth. they get you every time.

I mean, they have looked you right in the eye and told you that with a small "affordable" investment you will be free to live the life you always dreamed about. You will own everything!

When you become rich, your car and house will be the envy of all your friends, you'll travel the world first class, people will respect you more, your friends and family will ask for your guidance and wisdom, the food will taste better, the air will be fresher ..gee, you'll probably even look better! You'll have it all! ... "Now, pass me my cheque book, I'm going to give this man all my money. This is simply to good an opportunity to let go!"  Now, you may think that you wouldn't do that, but I can't tell you, many people have and continue to do so in ever growing numbers. These are normally sensible people that will pick up a price change at the petrol pump but not even notice someone "stealing" $ 10,000 or more from them.

The emotion of the moment carries them away, they become consumed by greed.

So, how do you spot a scam when one comes along? 

There are many "investment opportunities" just waiting for a "wood duck" to come along. As an investor, your task, while meeting your personal investment goals, is to sort out those investments that have the greatest potential, and toss out the scams and suspect "opportunities".

In my book, Scams & Frauds, I expose just about every kind of financial scam going around these days, and expose some of the scamsters that perpetrate these crimes. Yes, I name names, around over 200 of them! You may be shocked to read the name of guy or company you have given money to in a forlorn hope of one day getting a return! But, it's better you know now than hoping in vain.
