Warning Signs of Investment Fraud
Although most investors do not recognize fraud until they have already lost substantial amounts, it may be possible to detect early signs of fraud if you know what to look for.

- Guaranteeing high returns
- Promising little to no risk
- Lacking documentation for investments
- Recommending unregistered investments
- Discouraging communication with third parties

How Long You Have to Take Action Against Misconduct
Depending on the specifics of your case and the forum required to pursue your claim, you may have a limited amount of time to pursue compensation from your financial advisor or broker.
Under Michigan Legislature § 600.5813, victims of certain fraud may have six years to take legal action. This law does not apply to all cases, so it is important to talk to a lawyer about your individual situation.
While the amount of time you have to seek financial remedies may vary, it’s always best to take prompt action after experiencing fraud or misconduct within the securities industry. Doing so will ensure that your securities fraud attorney has enough time to file your claim and secure the financial relief you deserve.
