Avoid Pump and Dump Stocks

Do you get email and snail mail solicitations for pump and dump stocks? These stocks go by many names, including the next hot stock, surefire investment, can’t-miss equity and more. These are penny stocks with little to no prospect of long-term gains, so be careful when approached about these investments.


Can’t Miss — Not!


The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) describes these stocks as pump and dump stocks. It explains that scammers connected with them often tout false and misleading claims via phone, email and social media. Often, scammers will urge potential victims to buy a stock quickly so as not to miss what they invariably describe as huge
gains. They don’t want you to miss out. Right!


Bait and Switch


Once these scammers entice enough people to buy shares of the stock, pumping up its share price, they will dump their shares at a profit. Victims are left holding often worthless stocks.


There is no legal thing such as inside information, so be careful about any sales pitch offering some.
