Promissory Note Investment Misconduct

Promissory notes are a type of investment product that essentially allows the investor to provide a loan to a company in need of capital. Promissory notes generally have fixed terms, and the company commits to repay the investor in the form of a fixed return, either consisting of the principal amount or adding annual interest. These investment products can be a great addition to the portfolios of investors, but the risk of loss is also high due to the volume of fraudulent promissory notes in circulation. Individuals who experience substantial losses from bad promissory note investments may consider seeking the assistance of a skilled California securities arbitration attorney in order to recuperate those losses.

There are a variety of different reasons why promissory notes have become a hot spot for fraud, but the most prevalent is perpetrated by scammers. In many cases, individual fraudsters are able to convince brokers, brokerage firms or investment advisors to offer their products to investors by promising high commissions. Industry professionals may then use unethical tactics like misrepresentation and omission to assure the sale of these unsuitable securities. They may receive their commission and continue to offer fraudulent promissory notes to others. When the note matures, however, investors find that there is no principal to return.
