Hi Surething Right back at you. harvard.edu useful.com andrew.cmu.edu SAFEGUARDING AGAINST INVESTMENT FRAUD: Advice from the US Better Business Bureau: 1. Be wary of unsolicited phone calls, letters, e-mails, or personal visits from strangers offering quick-profit schemes that require an immediate investment. 2. Don't fall for promises that you can "double your money" or expect spectacularly high returns on your investment within a short period of time. 3. Turn down investment opportunities that claim time is of the essence; that "tomorrow will be too late". 4. Always demand written information about the organization behind the investment plan and its track record. Bear in mind, though, that slick brochures and upscale marketing materials can be utterly false. 5. Be suspicious of claims of "inside information", hot tips, and rumors that supposedly will give you a big advantage over other, less knowledgeable investors. 6. Ask for a prospectus, financial statement, or similar document before you consider investing. Then read the small print carefully and make sure you understand the terms thoroughly before signing any kind of contract. If you don't understand the investment, don't buy it. 7. Contact your state securities agency to find out if the promoter and investment are properly registered in your state. 8. Contact your Better Business Bureau to determine whether there have been any previous inquiries or complaints about the company. 9. Request a reliability report on the firm. Whenever possible, deal with established businesses whose reputations are known and respected in their communities. Now don't get any ideas, ok. Mr Metals

One More. Generally, touters and detractors abound online. Mr. Metals faced wrath when he warned, online, against investment in the stock of Northrich Pacific Ventures Inc. "I got attacked, threatened, e-mails, phone calls," he says. "They were attacking me. I had to defend myself and Jill [McKinney] threw me off the site." In September, the VSE suspended Northrich Pacific Ventures from trading and is "conducting a review of the company's affairs, including recent disclosure." In its last press release, the company had proposed to buy slag heaps in Argentina and resift them for gold. Mr. Metals notes another hazard: it's addictive. "SI is like a drug; I need it. I'm on that thing all the time. I lost my girlfriend over this. It was mutual. I said: 'Look, this is what I do.
