There are several common investment scams<\/a> that individuals should be aware of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Pyramid schemes<\/strong><\/a> – a fraudulent scheme where participants make money primarily by recruiting new members into the scheme rather than from any real investment or sale of goods or services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Ponzi schemes – a fraudulent investment<\/a> scheme where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital contributed by newer investors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Pump and dump schemes<\/strong> – a scheme in which individuals artificially inflate the price of a stock by spreading positive rumors, then sell off their shares once the price has increased.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Fake investment opportunities – a scam<\/a> where individuals are promised high returns on investments that do not actually exist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Offshore investing<\/strong> – a scheme in which individuals are encouraged to invest in overseas companies that are often unregulated or even non-existent.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
