Investment Fraud

Protecting Your Financial Future

Investment fraud is a deceptive practice where individuals or entities manipulate others into making financial decisions based on false or misleading information. These schemes can lead to devastating financial losses, erode trust in legitimate financial markets, and often target individuals saving for retirement, college funds, or other significant life milestones. At California Fraud Center, we are dedicated to helping victims of investment fraud recover their losses and pursue justice against perpetrators.

What is Investment Fraud?
