Securities fraud is often referred to as stock or investment fraud and is an unfortunately common white-collar crime in the United States. Many different scenarios may fall under securities fraud, but the most common examples involve investors misrepresenting their clients' information. Often, just one person can be held accountable for the crime, but in some cases, entire organizations may be liable, such as an investment bank or brokerage firm.

In recent years, we've seen an increase in the number of people losing money due to investment fraud. Unethical bankers, stockbrokers, and financial advisors are at the center of these schemes, leaving unwilling consumers vulnerable. Some of the most common examples of securities fraud that we see in Texas and throughout the U.S. include:

• Ponzi schemes
• Late-day trading
• Pyramid schemes
• False information
• Insider trading
• Churning
• Inaccurate internal reports
• Overconcentration
• Omission of information
• Misrepresentation of investment
• Schemes related to hedge funds
