Abstract
- The article examines how unscrupulous U.S. businessmen operate their investment scams. It lists twelve methods of fraud, including a scheme that uses land as bait for investors, falsely representing participating certificates as bonds, and peddling low-priced European stocks at a false valuation. The article also presented a 10-rule guide for investors released by the Attorney General of New York, which advises to know the stock broker, ask experts about the company, and have a witness present.
