Bad Brokers or Advisers
in Press Releases/by IYE GlobalThe Wall Street Journal published an article in May about a financial adviser in Beverly Hills, California named Ray Kay who had promoted via Radio advertising a supposedly high-yield, low-risk investment. Unfortunately, the company behind the investment is now in bankruptcy and is being investigated as a Ponzi Scheme. Mr Kay himself, it turns out, was “barred from the securities industry for allegedly running a fraud, and later fined $5,000 for breaking that ban.” The challenge for investors, however, was that when he was prosecuted for those offences he was known as Raymond. L Kotrozo. Changing names is a common tactic employed by fraudsters.

The Ponzi Scheme
in Press Releases/by IYE GlobalBackground on Ponzi Schemes
Ponzi schemes can be complex, even when they operate on a relatively small scale. They can be run by a single person or group & to keep the scam going, those behind the plan convince numerous victims that they’re investing in a legitimate fund that promises great returns.

Boiler Room Scams
in Press Releases/by IYE GlobalDespite success by the Financial Conduct Authority and Police in prosecuting Boiler room operations, the fact that such easy money can be made from these criminal acts means this type of scam is on the increase.
The scams work by presenting clients with shares or bonds, which are in fact worthless. The initial approach can be a cold-call, or it could be via advertising in newspapers, magazines or on social media, direct letters, or even seminars where an offer is made to buy or sell shares or bonds for a significant return.
These scams work well with even seasoned investors being caught out. The police recently recorded one individual who lost £6 million from such a scam. As ever, the devastation left behind for those caught out can be dreadful.

Bad Advice
in Press Releases/by IYE GlobalIf you are involved at the highest level of professional sport the chances are you’ll be earning good money, in a few cases, substantial money and that makes you a target. It’s always simple with hindsight and it’s easy to be critical but if you’re inexperienced in financial matters and often very young, you are prey to unscrupulous individuals who are far more interested in what they can earn from you than they are in looking out for your best interests.
