2020 Women of Influence's Episode 2: Learn how to DETECT PONZI SCHEMES from the Author of "Ponzi-Proof Your Investments: An Investor’s Guide to Avoiding Ponzi Schemes and Other Fraudulent Scams" - Kathy Bazoian Phelps, Esq and Coral Hansen, CPA selected as one of LA Business Journal's "2019's Most Influential Women in Accounting ":
No one wants to lose hard-earned dollars in a Ponzi scheme. Nor does anyone want to unwittingly assist a perpetrator in running a fraud, subjecting themselves to liability. However, losses and liability are very real problems in a world filled with clever Ponzi schemes. Multiple new Ponzi schemes are disclosed each month, and the business models get more and more sophisticated and harder to detect. While everyone wants to earn a buck, if it’s too good to be true, it probably is.
Professionals and investors must arm themselves with not only a raised awareness, but also with the right questions to ask to try to ferret out a fraud.
The following topic areas will be covered in the program:
1. A description of the typical characteristics of a Ponzi scheme
2. Into the mind of the fraudster: techniques used to defraud
3. Suggested due diligence questions relating to the proposed investment
4. Warning signs, or red flags, of fraud
5. What to do when you detect fraud
