What is Investment Fraud and Stockbroker Fraud?
Investment fraud is a term sometimes used interchangeably with securities fraud, and it involves using deceptive practices, including false or misleading information, to manipulate investors into making investment decisions that result in substantial losses. Dishonest brokers may even resort to outright theft of investor’s funds or securities.
We’ve observed a rise in Affinity frauds in Georgia, targeting religious groups with false promises. Many have fallen prey to high-return or risk-free investment scams. As well as certain stockbrokers targeting existing clients who are Georgia citizens.
Example Scenario: A broker convinces an investor in Georgia to allocate a substantial part of their retirement funds into a high-risk, illiquid investment, minimizing the dangers involved, overstating the potential gains, and urging a swift decision. Ultimately, the investment collapses, resulting in considerable financial losses for the investor.
When you first hired your broker-dealer, it’s likely that you trusted them to put your best interests first. Unfortunately, many brokers and financial advisors don’t live up to their fiduciary duty or have committed outright securities fraud. They might mislead you about investments, conceal risks, engage in excessive trading (churning) to generate commissions, or overcharge you with hidden fees.

Can I Recover my Investment Losses?
In order to recover your investment losses, you must prove that your broker-dealer or financial advisor violated Georgia Securities Act by offering and selling securities for misrepresentations and misleading statements, fraudulent devices or schemes, breached their fiduciary duty to you as an investor or simply committed negligence in the management of your accounts.
In most cases, this means filing a FINRA arbitration claim against the broker-dealer and/or representative.
The majority of securities fraud cases are handled by FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority) rather than being brought to the court system.
FINRA arbitration is a streamlined, cost-effective way to resolve disputes between investors and their brokers without going to court – it also allows you to collect punitive damages.
As an investor, you have certain rights that must be respected and protected.
We’re currently investigating several financial firms and stockbrokers who may have been the subject of customer complaints, may be facing legal action, and who may have acted unethically and committed fraud in Georgia, including:
