Don't let embarrassment or fear keep you from reporting investment fraud or abuse. Con artists know that you might hesitate to report that you have been victimized in financial schemes out of embarrassment or fear. Con artists prey on your sensitivities and, in fact, count on these fears preventing or delaying the point at which authorities are notified of a scam. Every day that you delay reporting fraud or abuse is one more day that the con artist is spending your money and finding new victims.
This is excellent and important point: Don't let the embarassment of losing money keep you from taking some action about it. Don't let embarassment and shame (which is unnecessary!) keep you from taking the first step: contact us.
