Here’s how a Sacramento Regulatory Receiver can help you:

Regulatory agencies may seek the appointment of a Sacramento regulatory receiver in connection with allegations involving violations of various laws. These may include securities law violations arising from the offering, selling, and management of funds or portfolios, as well as violations of anti-fraud and securities registration provisions related to the purchase and sale of stock. Defendants may also be engaged in marketing, telemarketing, or the sale of consumer services involving false representations or the receipt of advance fees without required disclosures. In addition, matters may involve the fraudulent solicitation of digital cash or cryptocurrency and other instruments, including illegal commodity pools or failure to register as a Commodity Pool Operator.

  • Ponzi-Like Schemes

    Ponzi schemes where new investors’ funds are used to provide returns to earlier investors.

  • Digital Asset Investment Schemes

    Companies may solicit funds from investors related to digital assets, commodities, derivatives, swaps, and commodity futures contracts.

  • Precious Metal Scams

    Fraudsters lure investors into purchasing precious metals through false representations.

  • Fee Scams

    Companies lure investors into investment schemes promising high rates of return; once investors seek to withdraw funds, fees are charged in the form of commissions, transfer fees, or taxes.

  • Cryptocurrency

    According to the FTC, “The FTC’s new data spotlight shows crypto is a common way for scammers to steal money, with over 46,000 people reporting losing more than a billion dollars in crypto to scams since the start of 2021. Many crypto scams begin with ads, posts, or messages on social media. And most crypto is lost to investment scams, where scammers get you to “invest” money, promising they’ll make you more — quickly. That’s a lie. You won’t make money and you’ll lose your initial “investment.”

  • Real Estate and Investment Scams

    Per the FTC, investment scams lure individuals with promises of making money quickly, easily, and with low risk, often through real estate or financial markets. These schemes may begin with free seminars and later involve costly programs based on false claims.

  • Investment Coaching Scams

    According to the FTC, investment coaching scams promise that a “patented,” “tested,” or “proven” strategy will teach individuals how to profit from stocks, bonds, foreign currency, or tax liens, often claiming the approach will provide financial independence.

  • Unregistered Soliciting Entities

    According to the SEC, these entities falsely claim to be registered, licensed, or located in the United States when soliciting investors. Investigations frequently reveal that such entities are not registered as claimed or implied.

  • Affinity Fraud

    Per the SEC, affinity fraud targets identifiable groups such as seniors or religious or ethnic communities. Fraudsters often claim to be members of the group or use trusted leaders to promote schemes that ultimately cause financial harm.

  • Promissory Notes

    According to the SEC, promissory notes are used by companies to raise money by promising investors fixed periodic income, often with high returns and low stated risk.
