Ponzi schemes can be difficult to spot, especially in their early stages, as they may appear to offer legitimate investment opportunities. Promoters of Ponzi schemes often employ high-pressure tactics to encourage quick investments, leaving potential victims little time to consider the risks or seek advice.

If you or a loved one has lost money to a suspected Ponzi scheme, our attorneys at Silver Law Group can promptly take steps to protect your legal rights. Our team can advise you of your options for filing a Ponzi scheme lawsuit in New York City and work diligently to maximize your compensation.

Before Filing A Lawsuit, Learn The Signs Of A Ponzi Scheme

If someone offers you an investment opportunity that seems unrealistically good, it’s potentially a Ponzi scheme. Here are some signs to watch for:

  • Promises of high returns with little or no risk
  • Overly consistent returns—real investments tend to fluctuate with market conditions
  • Unregistered investments and unlicensed sellers—legitimate investments should be registered with financial authorities, and sellers should be licensed or registered
  • Secretive or overly complex strategies
  • Lack of access to investment paperwork such as prospectuses or account statements
  • Difficulties withdrawing money—promoters may try to discourage withdrawals by offering even higher returns for staying invested
  • Pressure to recruit new investors
