Madoff’s 150-year sentence doesn’t mean the end of financial scams

Unless you were among his many
victims, you might think the 150-year sentence Bernie Madoff received today
would put an end to big investment frauds on Wall Street.

But sadly Madoff is not the only
swindler out there who would be happy to part you from your cash. One recent
reminder: the indictment of R. Allen Stanford, the Texas financier who pleaded
innocent last Thursday to federal criminal charges of stealing $7 billion in an
international Ponzi scheme.

Check out who is likely to be
taken by a scamster,
and the details on investment schemes and how to avoid
being ensnared
by them
