Investment scams are fraudulent business schemes promising quick, high returns on investments. Scammers use persuasive tactics to lure potential investors. They may present complex documents or sophisticated jargon to appear legitimate. Often, the scammer will pressure you to invest immediately. They may claim it's a limited time opportunity or use high-pressure sales tactics. One common promise is guaranteed returns. In reality, no investment can guarantee returns. Other scammers may promise high returns with no risk. This is another red flag. All investments carry some level of risk. Scammers may also use a tactic known as 'pump and dump'. They inflate the price of a low-value stock and convince others to invest. Once the price is high enough, they sell their shares and the price plummets. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
