A Court Appointed San Bernardino Regulatory Receiver Is Here to Help

These cases often involve consumer and investment fraud schemes, including Ponzi-like conduct and crypto fund scams.

Here’s how a San Bernardino Regulatory Receiver can assist you:

Regulatory agencies may seek the appointment of a regulatory receiver in cases involving violations of various laws. These could include securities laws, particularly if the defendant is involved in offering, selling, or managing funds, portfolios, or activities related to fraudulent stock purchases or violations of anti-fraud and securities registration provisions. The defendant may also engage in false marketing or telemarketing of consumer services, receiving advanced fees without proper disclosures. In addition, defendants may be involved in the fraudulent solicitation of digital currencies or other financial instruments, including the operation of illegal commodity pools and failure to register as a Commodity Pool Operator.

  • Ponzi-Like Schemes

    Ponzi schemes, where new investors’ funds are used to pay returns to earlier investors, are often targeted by regulatory receivers.

  • Digital Asset Investment Schemes

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

  • Precious Metal Scams

    Fraudsters may deceive investors into purchasing precious metals through false representations.

  • Fee Scams

    These scams lure investors with promises of high returns, but once an investor seeks to withdraw, they are charged excessive fees in the form of commissions, transfer fees, or taxes.

  • Cryptocurrency

    According to the FTC’s new data spotlight, cryptocurrency scams are prevalent, with over 46,000 people reporting losing more than a billion dollars in crypto to scams since 2021. These scams often start through ads, posts, or messages on social media, promising quick returns that never materialize. 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

    Investment scams often target individuals with promises of easy wealth through low-risk investments in financial or real estate markets. These scams typically begin with a “free seminar” and later require large fees for “proven” investment strategies that are, in reality, deceptive.

  • Investment Coaching Scams

    In these scams, fraudsters promise that their “proven” strategies will help individuals make significant profits from investing in stocks, bonds, foreign currency, or tax liens. They often claim that their method will set you up for financial independence.

  • Unregistered Soliciting Entities

    These entities falsely claim to be registered, licensed, or located in the United States to solicit investments. However, investigations often reveal that these entities are not registered as claimed.

  • Affinity Fraud

    Affinity fraud targets specific communities, such as the elderly or ethnic/religious groups. Scammers often pose as members of these communities or use respected leaders to lend credibility to their fraudulent schemes.

  • Promissory Notes

    Promissory notes are often used by companies to raise money, promising a fixed periodic income in return for the investor’s loan. These notes typically offer high returns with low risk, which is a red flag for fraudulent schemes.
