Using well–known examples from recent headlines like Bernard Madoff and R. Allen Stanford along with a bevy of historical scam artists, Fisher details the red flags that should alert investors. They are: advisers who have access to your money; promises of returns that are too good to be true; mumbo–jumbo that takes the place of explaining investing strategy; fake benefits like exclusivity, and relying on someone else for due diligence. (Associated Press)
"[The book] gives readers a secure plan for fraud-proof investing, worthwhile for novices and sophisticated financiers alike . . . highly illuminating and confidence-building for anyone with a bank account."
