Concerned About a Potential Ohio Investment Scam?

Many fraudsters are convincing. Whether they play to your vulnerabilities or make a financial deal sound like it is too good to refuse, they have a common goal. They want you to invest your money with them, and they want you to do it now. They do not want you to think about it. They do not want you to ask questions about it. And, above all, they do not want you to change your mind.

Despite their persuasive tactics, you can help protect yourself from an Ohio investment scam. Attorneys who regularly represent investment fraud victims recommend that you consider the three tips described below.

Ask Questions About the Seller's Urgency

Do not accept a seller's urgency for his or her stated reasons. Instead, ask the seller why you need to make the purchase today and can't wait until tomorrow. If the seller becomes angry, frustrated, or flustered, then you may want to find out more about his or her true motives.

Consider a Cool-Off Period

You are not obligated to purchase an investment the same day that it is presented to you. Consider waiting 24 hours before making any decisions about whether or not to make the investment. During that 24-hour period, consider whether there are any potential "red flags" that indicate that the investment you are considering may be a scam.
