Beware: FINRA Issues "Auction Rate Securities" Phishing Alert

Speaking of FINRA...FINRA has issued an alert to warn the public about an auction rate securites "phishing" scam. The scam attempts to take advantage of individuals who, unfortunately, have already been victimized by the purchase of these securities.

The email looks like it comes from FINRA and promises compensation from ARS settlements in exchange for personal information. It actually says the recipient is due $1.5million regardless of the amount of their ARS investment or loss. The email then "phishes"  for personal information, including occupation, address and phone number.

The FINRA website is at www.FINRA.org.
