    •
    Investigate the investment thoroughly and check the truth of
    every statement you are told about the investment.

    •
    Do not fall for investments that promise spectacular profits
    or "guaranteed" returns.
    Protect yourself!

    •
    Be skeptical of any investment opportunity that is not in
    writing.

    •
    Don't be pressured or rushed into buying an investment.

    •
    If you receive an unsolicited e-mail from someone you don't
    know, containing a "can't miss" investment, pass up the
    "opportunity" and forward the spam to the SEC.
