Investment Scams, Part One

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

StrategiesUp until now in this blog, we’ve mostly been talking about different strategies that you can put to use to make yourself a more versatile trader. This is all well and good, but all the strategies in the world won’t do you any good if you’re so unfortunate as to fall victim to an investment scam.

Scams Are Everywhere

These types of scams are, unfortunately, all over the place. No matter how savvy you think you might be about this sort of thing, some of the scams are quite sophisticated and easy to fall for unless you know exactly what you’re looking for.

To those ends, we’re going to spend the next several entries here going over many different types of investment scams and how to keep an eye out for them. It pays to know the enemy, right?

Internet Is Popular For Scams

It should comes as no surprise when we say that the majority of the investment scams going around are perpetrated on the internet. The nature of the internet allows for a great deal of “safety” and anonymity for thieves and con artists, so it makes a popular venue for taking advantage of the unwary.

onlineNo doubt you’ve seen at least one type of scam already, if you’ve spent any time at all looking at investing online, or joined any investment discussion sites. This is the email spam scam, wherein someone invites you to take part in his or her brand new scheme for making “guaranteed” investments. They use a lot of hyperbolic language touting their new system and claim that they’ll let you in on their amazing secrets for just a few hundred dollars.

Of course these types of scams are quite transparent, but believe us when we say that they get a lot more sophisticated than this. We’ll begin our discussion next time with an overview of the different types of scams out there.

See you next week for part 2 of Investment Scams.

Wealth Creation Forum and Jamie McIntyre

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Hello Bullhunters, it was great to see many new members join the forum after that last article. It’s a place where you can come together and share your experiences of trading and ask other traders questions. I know you will find it of benefit to your success in the realm of trading and reaching your goals. Don’t forget to say Hi when you get in there and let me know how you are going too… I won’t bite :)

Jamie McIntyre with Sean Rasmussen

Taking time out to create a video course of the Jamie McIntyre best selling book What I Didn’t Learn at School But wish I Had did take some effort for those two busy Entrepreneurs firstly in getting together, filming, editing and then posting them so that they could be shared with you. My intent here is to show you Jamie himself who really is just an ordinary guy who has achieved some extra-ordinary things.

He was raised on a farm in Northern New South Wales in a large family and decided that when he grew up, he wanted to be rich, and I think he got much more than he bargained for. He has educated well in excess of 100,000 people from all over the world, teaching strategies pointing to Financial Freedom, and continues to do this with regular monthly seminars which are included as part of the 21st Century Academy homestudy package.

Here is Part 1 of the Jamie McIntyre video course:

Enjoy your reading and the video course.
