Investors who have lost money through investment fraud and misconduct should be cautious of non-lawyer third party companies who offer, often for free, to help recover your losses.
The Attorney General’s Office, together with the Department of Financial Institutions, has released a warning to investors to beware of offers of help after falling victim to fraud or misconduct. There has been a rise lately in third party companies that claim, often for free, to be able to bring wrongdoers to justice and recover money on behalf of fraud victims.
It is sad to think that individuals who have already been victimized once are being pursued a second time by potential fraudsters and scammers.
Investors should also be on the lookout for companies that are not law firms and that promise or guarantee that a financial recovery is possible. In many cases, especially when the broker or advisor was not registered or has file bankruptcy or is in jail, a recover may not be likely.
