The Alert Investor

EPISODE 08: FSI: Fraud Scene Investigator (Students)

We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming with an important message…just in case you thought hitting the books equals boring…here’s a news flash. 

 

You can learn to fight fraud first hand as an FSI or Fraud Scene Investigator.

 

This could be one of the most valuable lessons you’ll learn at school… so stay tuned for the details in this special edition of the “Alert Investor,” a service of your state and provincial securities regulator.

 

Fighting crime can teach you a lot. No matter how convincing a scam’s sales pitch may sound, there is always something that just doesn’t feel right or sounds too good to be true.

 

Join our hero Kim as she uncovers the truth about a million dollar investment scam in FSI’s “Suitable Investments.”

Along the way you’ll discover more about companies, stock reports, investments and white collar crime.

While the story between Kim and her family is fictional, the tale is all too familiar for investors losing billions of dollars each year to investment fraud.

 

That’s why we need *you* as a FSI – that’s Fraud Scene Investigator. Just think, maybe you can help your parents or grandparents from getting scammed.  The problem is greater than you think…and we need your help to put a stop to it.

 

But you don’t have to take our word for it, hear what some one involved in the case has to say…

 

[State Securities Investigator]

“Mr. X thought he had the perfect scam, he was going to make money off the backs of unsuspecting investors through some kind of a “pump and dump scheme.” Thanks to the efforts of this teenager-- he’s locked up…all she did was ask the right questions, followed her instincts and got the authorities involved.  Hey-- who would have thought a kid could stop a multi million dollar scam?”

 

So are you ready to take on investment fraud?
