The SEC Office of Investor Education and Advocacy
("OIEA") cautioned investors, specifically those
who receive lump sum insurance payouts, on potential investment
scams related to Hurricane Ida.
The OIEA explained that natural disasters can trigger investment
scams including (i) promoters that, through email and social media
reports, tout recovery and cleanup companies, (ii) trading programs
that falsely promise high returns and (iii) Ponzi schemes. The OIEA
recommended that investors treat any such offers with skepticism
and do thorough research in order to protect themselves.
