High Yield Investment Programs - US SEC Enforcement Branch
Notice:
Please be aware that Forex currency trading, or commodities futures trading, are in no way shape or form, related to currency conversion or (so-called) bank trading. Commodity Futures or Forex currency trading is fully legitimate, and in the case of Futures, is fully regulated by the SEC and CFTC. Forex is currently unregulated, but is established as the world's largest exchange market. Investors should still exercise caution and do due diligence on any futures or Forex trading program. | |
With refence to any high yield or other investment program check out: http://www.sec.gov/divisions/enforce/primebank.shtml before making any decision!
If you enquire about program sponsors' offers they will probably say::
"...Yes, the SEC does crack down on HYIP/ Bank trades, BUT, Our trades are real." They may then tell you that, although they cannot provide you with proof of the returns, you have to take their word for it. If they use phrases like "table top meeting = sophisticated investor = bank debenture = bank trading = SLC / MTN = seasoned notes = Proof of funds - etc" then a red flag should go up. Investigate and ask for references re successful deals. The SEC routinely warns people against this, but it seems this scam will live for a long time if people have promises of 500-5000% per month returns. Such type of returns appear to be unreal. Do some research - go to Yahoo.com and type in "bank debenture scam" then run a search. You'll be rewarded with about 300+ websites devoted to warning investors against putting money into 300+ bank trades.
Similar concerns exist for some currency traders' programs. Do a search for "currency conversion scam" on Yahoo.com. 900+ websites contain articles describin illegitimate promotions.
Apply the old adage: If it looks too good to be true, then it probably is!
