Synopsis Ken Fisher provides sound and sobering advice on how to spot risky financial deals. Fischer points out that fraudsters and con artists follow basic patterns; for example, Bernie Madoff used one of the oldest schemes in the book, the Ponzi scheme. Fisher has a long record as a financial columnist, and he knows and respects the financial world. The rewards can be substantial, if good advice is heeded. Due diligence is the password here; gone are the days when one could just park money with an investor and come by around retirement time for the payoff. "Too good to be true usually is," says Fisher. Give it the sniff test.
