15 Tips To Avoid Being Madoff’ed

A recent post from Bary Ritholtz about 10 Lessons of Madoff’s Ponzi Scheme reminded me of a fairly recent presentation made by Ken Fisher at The Commonwealth Club, called How To Smell a Rat: The Five Signs Of Financial Fraud.

In actuality, there’s overlap between the two lists. But Barry’s post is a digest, and Fisher’s presentation runs an hour long, and gives a lot of great context. Good general advice for being smart with your money.

The FDIC also has a consumer advisory page about detecting scams.
