Investment fraud is occurring more frequently as businesses are becoming more desperate to find leverage for their companies.
It is a term to describe the activity of providing false information to someone to induce them to invest in their company. This can be done by the offer of unrealistically high returns on their investment, or by grossly over-stating the financial success of their own company. If the information is false and it induces private or company investors to invest with them, the crime has been committed regardless of whether the company makes a profit or loss for the investor.
There is often a grey area between the right to some latitude when advertising on the one hand, and a misrepresentation on the other. It is important to seek the correct legal advice when facing an investigation of investment fraud. We can also give advice to companies before they advertise, to ensure that they do not fall foul of committing this offence unwittingly.
