Don’t Get Scammed On The Net
By Dwight Wanken
Registered Principal, Raymond James Financial Services, Inc.
The World Wide Web offers an almost endless array of investment opportunities. However, you should be aware that some of these authentic looking opportunities might not be legitimate. As always, it pays to be cautious before investing.
The North American Securities Administrators Association offers these tips to give scammers the boot:
Don’t assume that your on-line service screens investment claims.
Steer clear of seldom-traded stocks that are hyped on-line. Swindlers will post multiple “alias” messages to spark a buying frenzy and send the price of the stock skyrocketing – artificially, of course.
Insist on getting printed information before investing. Never buy anything based only on what you pull off the Internet.
Never give your address, telephone number or credit card number to a stranger over the Internet.
Make sure any investments you’re considering are registered with the proper regulatory agency. If they’re not, they cannot be sold to you legally.
Don’t assume that the person touting the investment is whom he or she claims. To sell, the person must be registered with your state’s securities agency.
