An investment scam is a manipulative scheme to defraud investors. Scammers often lure victims with promises of high returns or quick profits. They use persuasive tactics, including pressure tactics, to convince people to invest. These scams often involve unregistered securities. They may also involve complex strategies that are difficult to understand. The scammer may claim to have insider information or a secret formula for success. A common tactic is the "pump and dump" scheme. Scammers inflate the price of a stock, then sell their shares at the high price. When they stop promoting the stock, the price drops and other investors lose money. Despite their promises, these scams are high-risk and often lead to significant financial loss.
