Secretary of State
Candidate Rutherford
Urges Caution for
Investors
Pontiac, IL – State
Senator Dan Rutherford, Republican candidate for
Secretary of State, is asking investors in Illinois to be aware of fraud
and to take precautions whenever investing their hard-earned dollars.
“You can hardly plan any kind of
retirement or personal savings these days without investing in various
funds, stocks or ventures, all of which sell themselves as anything from
rock solid, low risk investments to high risk, high reward ‘opportunity of
the century!’,” said Rutherford. “Some of these investing opportunities
are exactly what they claim. Unfortunately, there are those that attempt
to make an easy buck off of inexperienced or uneducated
investors.”
Sen.
Rutherford is urging any investors with questions about how to invest or
who want to learn more about the do’s and don’ts and scams seen both in
Illinois and across the country should visit websites for both the
Securities Department of the Illinois Secretary of State’s Office (1-800-628-7937)
and the Federal
Citizen Information Center (1-888-878-3256),
a division of the U.S. General Services Administration:

“Investing can be an exciting and rewarding experience,” Rutherford
added. “I just want to make sure Illinoisans are fully educated before
they expose themselves to not only the good individuals and companies in
the marketplace but also the undesirables that are in the business of
preying on vulnerable investors. Check them out thoroughly before
investing. Caution is common sense, but it could also save you your
entire life savings.”
