How do I know if I am a victim of securities fraud?
Securities fraud is an illegal activity where someone deceives or misleads investors to make illegal profit. In Utah, state law requires full disclosure of all material facts that can influence the value of the security or the decision to invest. If you think you have been the victim of securities fraud, there are a few warning signs to help you identify it. First, you should take note of any unusual activity that occurs in your securities investment account, such as sudden unusual changes in value or transaction activity, or if you discover that the securities you have invested in are worth much less than what you paid for them. Second, take the time to review all transaction statements and confirm that all trades and activities reported are accurate and consistent with what you authorized. Finally, if you feel that you have been misled in any way or that a person tried to convince you to invest in something without disclosing all the material facts, you should take the time to contact a securities fraud attorney. A securities fraud attorney can help you determine if you have suffered any losses or if you have a valid claim to recover any damages from the person responsible. It is important to act right away so that you can protect your rights and take the necessary legal action against any person who may have committed securities fraud against you.
