Victims of "Recovery" Scams Find it Difficult to Recoup Losses（2016.9.19）

摘要： Investors should beware of offers to recover money lost from securities investments for an upfront fee, according to an Investor Alert issued today by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). 

In particular, FINRA cautions investors who live outside the U.S. that some of these offers may be fraudulent. 

"While it's very enticing to hear you might be able to recover money lost from a previous investment or investment scam, some investors end up losing even more money to unregistered con artists who run so-called ‘recovery scams,'" said Gerri Walsh, FINRA's Senior Vice President of Investor Education. "Fraudsters can paint a very credible story to persuade you to send money in advance to get back at least some of what you originally lost. But the sad fact is that the money you send may itself be lost for good."
