Investment Fraud IV
The tricky thing about investment scams is that there is simply no way to determine whether a sales call is legitimate by talking on the phone. Stock scan swindlers have stock answers to any question and typically brush aside questions or concerns with vague answers or assurances.
Con artists are strong-willed, articulate people who dominate the conversation and won't let potential fraud victims to get a word in edgewise.
Scammers ask questions that have rhetorical 'yes' answers, feign anger when their honesty, integrity or abilities are questioned and may even become abusive, questioning the intelligence of anyone who would pass on the supposed opportunities they’re offering.
Scammers rely on their target getting flustered and making snap decisions. As long as one stays on the phone, they'll keep trying to sell they’re bogus stock. The thing to do is simply hang-up. They can’t sell you their “pig-in-a-poke” if you aren’t listening.
