community to exercise vigilance and extreme caution when conducting business and investing hard-earned dollars with individuals and entities of unreliable repute. Most often they turn out to be scammers and fraudsters involved in Ponzi schemes.<\/div><\/div><div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div><div dir=\"auto\">A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that involves the payment of unusually high returns to existing investors from funds contributed by new investors. <strong>Ponzi scheme organizers often solicit new investors by promising to invest funds in opportunities claimed to generate high returns <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">with little or no risk<\/span>.<\/strong> With little or no legitimate earnings, Ponzi schemes require a constant flow of money from new investors to continue. Ponzi schemes inevitably collapse, most often when it becomes difficult to recruit new investors or when a large number of investorsask for their funds to be returned.<\/div><div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div><div dir=\"auto\">Since Ponzi schemes can fly under the radar for years before they unravel, it is important to be vigilant and practice due diligence when deciding where to invest your hard-earned dollars. If the professional you are working with guarantees you above-market, no-risk returns on your investments, then this should be a red flag. The Filipino community is strongly advised to avoid investment professionals who guarantee a specific return of investment (ROI) and rate of return with no risk. In particular, be wary and cautious of transactions that require you to contribute financial resources, and\/or to share your personal and banking information.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f929ba5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f929ba5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public Advisory 002-202310 February 2023 PUBLIC ADVISORY ON PONZI SCHEMES The Philippine Consulate General in New York reminds the Filipino community to exercise vigilance and extreme caution when conducting business [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[112,40,84],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v14.9 -
