** Investor Alert ** If an investment promoter says, “You can trust me—I have credentials and extensive experience,” consider it a red flag. 🛑 Credibility can be stretched and faked. A legitimate promoter will have no issues with you conducting a background check. 🕵️♂️ ✅ Verify the authenticity of their education and experience by contacting the organization that issued the credential. ✅ Most importantly, contact your state or provincial securities regulator to ensure the person is registered to sell investments and has no disciplinary history. Stay informed and protect your investments. Learn more warning signs of fraud here: https://lnkd.in/e8bDHC7 #InvestorProtection #FraudPrevention #NASAA
