A Court Appointed Phoenix Regulatory Receiver Is Here to Help
From investment fraud and Ponzi-like schemes to cryptocurrency scams and consumer deception, FedReceiver, Inc. has decades of experience serving as a federal equity receiver in cases brought by agencies such as the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC). Our team is regularly appointed in Arizona federal and state courts to protect assets, investigate misconduct, and implement recovery strategies.
Here’s how a Phoenix Regulatory Receiver can help you:
Regulatory agencies may request the appointment of a receiver when businesses or individuals are accused of violating securities, consumer protection, or commodities laws. These violations often involve:
1. Offering or selling unregistered securities
2. Misusing investor funds in violation of federal securities laws
3. Engaging in deceptive marketing or telemarketing practices
4. Fraudulent solicitation of digital assets or cryptocurrency
5. Operating unlicensed commodity pools or acting without proper registration
-
Ponzi-Like Schemes
Schemes where new investors’ funds are used to pay returns to earlier investors, creating the illusion of profitability.
-
Digital Asset Investment Schemes
Fraudulent solicitations tied to digital assets, commodities, swaps, or futures contracts, often promising unrealistic returns.
-
Precious Metal Scams
Fraudsters persuade investors to purchase gold, silver, or other metals through false claims of value and security.
-
Fee-Based Investment Scams
Companies lure investors with promises of high returns but impose unexpected “fees,” commissions, or bogus taxes when withdrawal requests are made.
-
Cryptocurrency
According to the FTC, more than 46,000 people lost over $1 billion to crypto scams since 2021. Most begin with online ads or social media promotions, offering “quick profits” that never materialize.
-
Real Estate and Investment Scams
As noted by the FTC, fraudsters lure investors with promises of easy wealth through real estate or financial markets, often starting with free seminars that evolve into high-fee “programs.”
-
Investment Coaching Scams
Scammers promote “patented” or “proven” strategies for investing in stocks, currency, or tax liens, often charging hefty fees for worthless advice.
-
Unregistered Soliciting Entities
According to the SEC, some entities falsely claim to be licensed or registered to solicit investors when, in fact, they are not.
-
Affinity Fraud
As the SEC warns, fraudsters exploit religious, ethnic, or community ties to build trust and recruit new victims, often enlisting respected community leaders.
-
Promissory Notes
Fraudulent companies issue high-interest promissory notes, claiming minimal risk. Per the SEC, these are a frequent form of investment fraud when companies cannot repay investors as promised.
