A few quick internet searches can save you from handing over your money to a fraudster or someone who has racked up complaints from past customers.
Running into someone with a less-than-stellar record can be more common than you think. As many as 20 per cent of brokers at some of the country’s largest financial institutions have disciplinary records, according to a March study by researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of Minnesota.
It’s up to you to do the research and ask questions to protect your money. Here’s how:
___
CHECK THEIR HISTORY
Typically, advisers fall into two categories. They are either brokers, who buy or sell stocks on your behalf, or investment advisers, who charge a fee for advice.
If the person you are considering is a broker, they should be able to be found at brokercheck.finra.org , which is run by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority…

Representatives for Playboy Enterprises and Daren Metropoulos confirmed Monday that Metropoulos’ bid to buy Hefner’s man cave is in escrow.
Both sides declined to reveal the sale price until escrow closes, but a representative for Metropoulos said terms would allow Playboy Magazine’s 90-year-old founder to remain in the mansion for the rest of his life.
The home in LA’s fashionable Holmby Hills was originally listed at $200 million, but local real estate agents said at the time that appeared ridiculously overpriced. A nearby property sold last year for $59 million.
Metropoulos bought his current home next door to the mansion from Hefner in 2009 for $18 million.
The mansion, the scene of countless celebrity-filled parties and innumerable tales of sexual shenanigans, was built in 1927 and purchased by Playboy Enterprises in 1971 for $1…
