High Yield Investment Fraud
There are a range of schemes and scams with proposals purely designed to facilitate victims parting with money.
Some examples are:
- Banks from remote areas of the world offering Bank Guarantees for hundreds of millions of dollars.
- US Federal Reserve Notes recovered from a World War Two Plane crash site in the Philippines.
- Historical US Railway Bonds.
- Pre-World War Two Gold Bearer Shares recovered from a lake in Austria which allegedly belonged to Adolf Hitler.
The common theme throughout is that all these schemes are designed to part the unwary from their money. Any investment scheme, which is out of the ordinary with high rates of return, yet with little or no risk, should be treated with diligence.
If you are offered any investment scheme, which offers investment returns that could not be obtained on the High Street or by normal investment procedures, be wary.
If it sounds too good to be true it probably is.
