Salt Lake City Investor Fraud Attorney

Utah Ponzi Scheme Lawyers

Investment fraud is taken very seriously in Utah. The Utah Division of Securities warns investors of common scams such as those listed below. If you have been accused of, arrested or charged with any fraud directed at investors in Utah, contact our law firm to discuss your legal rights and the best course of action in your defense.

Examples of investor fraud in Utah as reported by the Utah Division of Securities include:

  • Ponzi scheme-style real estate fraud scams that did not offer investors the security through real estate holdings that was promised
  • “Secret” Homeland Security scams whereby investors were asked to invest in nonexistent national security projects
  • Hedge fund fraud and other investment schemes run by unlicensed or unqualified advisers
  • Unsuitable options trading programs involving unlicensed promoters who did not properly register funds
  • Letter of credit schemes and advance fee schemes wherein investors are promised huge proceeds from investments
  • Free-meal investment seminars involving exaggerated or misleading claims and high-risk investments
  • Fake Internet sites soliciting investments
  • Oil and gas and mining schemes involving investments that were never sent to mining companies as promised
  • “Phishing” schemes involving information associated with Internet stock trading accounts
  • Stock offerings sold without proper registration of securities
  • Mortgage fraud scams

If your investment company is under investigation for violation of Blue Sky rules, nonregistration of securities or other forms of investment fraud, you are encouraged to seek legal counsel at the earliest opportunity. Mitigation of damage and a bold response to allegations of wrongdoing are important goals that should be discussed frankly with an experienced criminal defense lawyer.
