  1. Stop investing in complex, pie-in-sky, sounds too good to be true investments. Stick to investments where you can call the investment company directly to check on your account. Don’t rely just on your advisor.

  2. 10% return every 3 months? Yep, that sounds legit! Greed…not only from the alleged “masterminds” but also to the people who “invested” in this. Any reasonable person would know that was not a legitimate investment. Easy come, easy go…
