Harrison Jones, a licensed financial planner in Panama City, was arrested recently on Ponzi scheme allegations.

Any new investments he received were reputedly going toward interest for earlier investors.The name of Jones's group, the "12 Percent Savings Club," might have been a bit of a red flag."I know (that) it's a scam. There is no 12 percent right now," Messer, another local investment professional stated. "But he's not talking to professionals; he's talking to people from his church."If you have been a victim of financial fraud, then you need to speak with an experienced investment fraud lawyer about your case right away.
