How To Spot A Con Man

When someone tells you how honest they are (over and over) and uses phrases like "I'm an honest guy, or "I'm not gonna lie to you," run like hell. Another version of the same thing is the business that puts the christian cross or fish symbol on their business sign or advertisement. Run like hell. You're about to be ripped off. Another infallible tell: If you get an "offer" from AT&T, Direct TV, DISH, or COMCAST, it's trash. treat it accordingly.

Victims of investment frauds in the UK lost £75 million in total in 2015, according to a notice published last week by the City of London Police. The average amount that investors lost last year exceeded £32,000, which is more than the current average UK salary of £27,270.

A total of 3,186 UK residents reported they were the subject of an investment fraud last year.

“Fraudsters will do everything they can to manipulate potential victims and convince them that they are making genuine investments,” said detective chief inspector Dave Manley of the City of London Police. “Unfortunately once a victim is sucked-in by a fraudster they often end-up parting with a significant amount of money and this can have devastating effects on both the individual and their families,” he added.
