INTRODUCTION
The Ponzi scam, named after Charles Ponzi in 1920,
is a fraudulent investment scheme that promises
high returns. Despite being one of the oldest
recorded scams, it is still widely used by scammers
and has grown in popularity over time.
Ponzi Scams take advantage of victims' financial
aspirations by promising high returns on
investment, and are still successful despite
widespread knowledge of them. The digital age has
made it easier for scammers to pull off these scams
and many people fall victim to them.
Scammers target individuals' financial aspirations
by promising high returns on investment through
various scams, preying on the desire for a
comfortable life or increased wealth. Despite
different execution methods, the premise of these
scams remains the same.

How do Ponzi-related scams
04
work?
A Ponzi scheme is a financial fraud that promises high returns on
investment. It works by using new investors' money to pay returns
to existing investors, until the flow of new investors stops.
Scammers lure in victims by convincing them to invest and also
encouraging others to join. These victims often lose substantial
amounts of money and may face ostracism from friends and family
who were also scammed.
A Ponzi scheme is different from a pyramid scheme. In a
pyramid scheme, victims only get paid by recruiting new
members, whereas in a Ponzi scheme, older members get paid
as new members are recruited. In Ponzi scheme, victims are
promised more money than they invested after a fixed period,
and the scheme continues until no new members join.

How do Ponzi-related scams
05
initiate?
Promising high returns with minimal
risk
Promising high returns with low risk is a warning sign of
a scam. In any investment, there is always some level of
risk. Be wary of guarantees of high returns with minimal
risk.
Fixed returns
Promising fixed returns is a sign of a scam. No
legitimate business can guarantee fixed returns as all
businesses go through ups and downs. Be cautious of
anyone who makes such promises.
Unlicensed Seller
Check if the investment firm is registered with the SEC
or state regulators to verify its authenticity.
Secretive and sophisticated strategies
Avoid any business model that is difficult to understand,
as it is likely a scam. Complex or secretive strategies are
a red flag.

How to avoid falling victim to
such scams?
06
Research is critical to verify if the firm is legitimate or
not. If some business proposal comes to you or you are
interested in it, then sit down with your near and dear
ones whom you trust and discuss the plan with them.
Always have all the terms and conditions in written
format. And before you sign any paper, you should visit a
Certified Public Accountant or a lawyer to understand the
proposed business venture better.
However, if you fall victim to such a scam, then do not
worry; several financial asset recovery firms are available
online.
