How We Can Help

The Wolper Law Firm, P.A. looks at your situation objectively and tells you if there is malfeasance or wrongdoing. Sure, the markets will go up and down. But there are more things to it than just the volatility of the investments and financial markets. A few of the factors that matter when making any recommendation are:

• Your age
• Net worth
• Risk tolerance
• Comfort level
• Income
• Time horizons
• Overall investment goals, such as retirement.

Your broker or financial adviser must consider all of these factors to ensure that any investment is suitable for you.

Your broker or financial adviser could have incentives that lead to more risky recommendations (such as high commission and fees). You don’t know about these risks and assume this is another ground-floor opportunity. Later on, you find out how risky these investments can become when market volatility increases.

Our team of investment lawyers analyze what is happening. We are trained professionals in the financial industry and can determine if your broker or financial adviser followed all the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s (FINRA) rules. FINRA is the regulator that oversees the financial industry.

If your broker or adviser did not do everything correctly when making recommendations to you, we will hold them and their firm responsible. You could be entitled to compensation for your losses due to their unsuitable recommendations and breach of fiduciary duty. Contact the Wolper Law Firm, P.A. today at 954.406.1231 / 855.453.8615 to get your free consultation.

The Most Common Signs of Investor Fraud

Investor fraud takes on many different forms depending on what is hot and getting the most attention. These are the areas fraudsters will target to lure in unsuspecting investors. You will see many different signs of investor fraud in these situations, including:

• Promises of high returns: Anyone that tells you they can get you consistent returns of 12% or more a year is not being honest. The higher returns require taking on greater amounts of risk. These returns don’t last forever, and things change with shifts in the markets and the economy. Fraudsters promise high returns to appeal to your greed. They will tell you that these returns can be generated consistently.
• No risk: Fraudsters try to make you feel better by telling you that this opportunity has no risk. They will state that you are guaranteed not to lose any money. Regulators ban financial professionals from saying that something is guaranteed.
• Lack of communication: Once you are involved, you will have trouble getting in touch with your financial adviser. They will never call you back, answer the phone, return emails, or communicate with you about what is going on.
• Don’t talk about the strategy in detail: All legal investments are required to give you full disclosure of the business practices of the company. Fraudsters can’t give you anything like this because nothing is real. Their investment strategy is a secret that only they know about. This secret strategy is how they are producing high returns. Be wary in those situations when you won’t get any information on the investment, and everything is a big secret.
• Must act now: Fraudsters will tell you that the investment opportunity won’t last and that you must act now. This is to create a sense of urgency so you will make an emotional decision. The fraudsters don’t want you to check anything out or think about it. You must commit immediately to get in on this great opportunity. These claims are designed to get you to act now.
• Doesn’t want you to ask questions: Questions are one of the worst things for those pushing an investment fraud and something fraudsters want to avoid. They will use tactics to dodge your questions and respond back by saying, “You do want to make money and take advantage of this great opportunity, right?” This tactic is designed to dodge your questions and get you back on point.
• The investment doesn’t have to be registered: The fraudsters will tell you the investment doesn’t need to be registered. They will state that this is a secret, ground-floor opportunity that no one really knows about. Once it becomes well known, you will see it qualifies to become a publicly traded company. This is used to explain why the investment is not registered.
• Confidential information: Fraudsters will tell you that their strategies are confidential. This is designed to prevent you from asking too many questions or demanding more information. They will state that the strategy is too technical to explain in simple terms. All investments must have a prospectus and give you accurate information. None of this information is confidential. The fraudsters use this tactic to avoid lengthy discussions about what is happening with their investments.
