Investment scams.
Fraudsters are smart, savvy, well educated and very well connected. Investment scams are global and big business.
What are investment scams
The investment market is rife with scams. Fraudsters continually introduce new and intricate methods to extract and launder money via opportunities that simply don’t exist. The 2019 Financial Cost of Fraud report estimates the cost of fraud in the United Kingdom to be approximately £193 billion per year. Hopefully you’re reading this page to avoid becoming a victim of fraud? If not, please read on because there are a number of ways we can help you!
Be wary of emerging markets
Because many emerging markets remain unregulated it’s difficult for authorities to establish unified working practices. Scammers will often cold-call offering higher returns than available via established investments such as ISAs or, and more increasingly present opportunities online with high-yielding platforms such as pensions or cryptocurrency. More often than not such opportunities are at best worthless and are highly likely to be fake.
Between April 2018 and march 2019 741,123 crimes were reported to Action Fraud.
65% of reports were from businesses and 35% were from individuals.
The publics view towards ActionFraud
Call handlers working for the police insult victims of fraud and have been trained to mislead them into thinking their cases will be investigated when most are never looked at again.
An undercover Times reporter was among staff who were banned from telling victims that the overwhelming majority of their cases are dismissed, either by low-wage employees at an outsourced call centre or a computer algorithm.
Managers in charge of collating police fraud reports also mocked those who lost money as “morons”, “screwballs” and “psychos”.
