DO’S AND DON’TS FOR INVESTORS:
1 Be wary of unexpected telephone calls, letters, or
even personal visits from people who offer quickprofit schemes that require your immediate
investment.
2 Be suspicious of “inside information,” hot tips, and
rumors that supposedly will give you a big
advantage over other, less knowledgeable
investors.
3 Turn down money request accompanied by highpressure warnings like “Tomorrow will be too late”,
“Positioning is important” or “Act now because there
will soon be long waiting lists of others who want to
take advantage of this golden opportunity.”
4 Be wary of schemes that give emphasis on
recruitment of members or “downlines”, particularly
if the product being offered is overpriced, as the
same may be a disguised pyramiding scheme.
5
Do not engage in foreign currency trading unless
you fully understand the mechanics or dangers of
currency trading and can afford to lose your money
(margin or security deposit). There is no such thing
as a guaranteed return in currency trading.
6
Ask for a prospectus, offering circular, financial
statement, or other similar document before you
even consider investing. Then read the small print
carefully, particularly on refund, and make sure you
understand the terms thoroughly before signing any
kind of commitment.
7 When in doubt, make no promises or commitment,
no matter how tentative. Remember, “if it sounds
too good to be true, it usually is.” It is far better to
wait and lose an opportunity than to take the plunge
and lose everything.
8
Before making a commitment, get an opinion from
your lawyer, stockbroker, accountant, or the
appropriate government office.
9
Always demand official receipts in the name of the
corporations or entities you are dealing with.
10 Note that a Primary SEC Registration only grants
juridical personality. It does not automatically give a
company the authority to engage in all types of
business activities such as lending, selling of
securities and investment contracts, investment
taking, etc. To confirm that the company or
individual is properly licensed to conduct the
business in question and has no history of violating
the law, get in touch with the SEC:
