Stock Broker Fraud
When you chose a stock broker, an advisor or an investment representative, you trust that they will make the right decisions to meet your investment goals. What you aren't expecting is your stock broker to charge you outlandish fees, make trades that you never authorized, invested in risky investments, or to never call you back. When a stock broker breaks this trust and does those things, your retirement plan, your savings or your investment portfolio can easily be wiped out. When that happens, your stock broker, advisor or investment representative may have comitted fraud.
