We are currently the only Ohio law firm dedicated to protecting the rights of investors, and we have successfully helped more than 800 clients around the country.

Our experienced lawyers want to share some common signs of Columbus stockbroker fraud and some important information about what to do if you think that you have been the victim of investment fraud.

Signs of Ohio Investment Fraud

Those committing investment fraud count on you not recognizing their scam until it is too late. However, early detection of investment fraud may limit the amount of money that you lose or maximize the amount of money that you are able to recover. Thus, we want you to be aware of the following signs of possible investment fraud:
  • Guarantees or overly consistent return on investments. Legitimate investments carry risks which should be disclosed to you before you invest.
  • Unregistered securities. Securities that are not appropriately registered may be financial scams.
  • Complex investment strategies that can't be clearly explained to you. Your stockbroker or financial advisor should be able to provide you with clear, written documentation about your investment and verbally explain the investment and how it fits in with your investment goals.
  • Account discrepancies. Any purchases or sales which you did not authorize or appear unusual on your account may be cause for concern.
