The target’s investment details were known to the scamsters who convinced him that he deserved more. They convinced him that they had a way to get him more benefits. The target started parting with money before his son realised this was a scam.

How did the accused know about the victim’s investments? Are companies divulging details to people? Are some employees complicit in these scams or do they just not prevent details from leaking out? Investigators need to get to the source of the leak and learn how the scamsters came to know about the investment details. Even if there is no collusion, there has to be a serious effort to find out, as this may affect numerous investors and shake the faith of the public in investment avenues.

People need to look suspiciously and cynically, in fact, at claims that promise some kind of ‘humongous’ returns. Even lures like ‘instantaneous returns’ or faster money have to be checked and double-checked. It is unfortunate that people get snared by feel-good, slick and obviously false talk. If these scamsters promised ‘more’ then, the victim needed to talk to somebody who may ask them to consult a bona fide agent or expert.
Cross-checking, taking other perspectives and asking questions are ways to avoid traps.
