- Don’t believe claims that there is no risk—there is always risk in any investment.
- Be careful of any investment opportunity that makes exaggerated earnings claims.
- Get all details about an investment opportunity in writing.
- Steer clear of “offshore” investments. These are often promoted as a way to avoid taxes, but you may still be liable for taxes, plus the investments can be very risky.
- Consult an unbiased third party, like an unconnected broker or licensed financial advisor, before investing.
- Take the time to check out investment offers by contacting your state’s securities regulator.
- Never put all of your “eggs” (investments) in one basket.
