“Prime Bank” Investments

If someone approaches you about investing in a so-called "prime bank" program, "prime World Bank" financial instrument, or similar sounding high-yield security, you should know that these investments do not exist. They are all scams. For more information about these bogus programs, visit the Division of Enforcement's Prime Bank Fraud Information Center.
