Signs of Asset Protection Scams
If you are looking for services involving protecting your finances then you should be aware of the risks that are involved with your finances. There are some asset protection scams on the market. Here's a look at some of the things that are generally involved with these dangerous scam:
First, you can tell that asset protection services that are being offered to you are scams when the promoter is offering a plan that helps to save you money on income taxes. Although you will be able to save money on your estate taxes through your services, you will not end up paying any lower income taxes as a result of the services. You should remember to watch for this offer when looking for services for protecting your finances.
Scams also involve offshore accounts. If the person offering you services states that the IRS will not be able to find the offshore account offered in the services that they offer, then you will end up losing more money if you accept this because this is a scam. The IRS works to locate these accounts for asset protection, and there are no exceptions to this rule.
The biggest tipoff to the legality of any asset protection scheme based offshore is the promise by the promoters that you will be able to maintain control of your assets and continue to do business as usual.
Some scams are based out of certain parts of the country. Nevada is one of the most common of these places to avoid for protecting your finances. In the state of Nevada people will use their scams for setups because of the strong business secrecy laws in the state. Therefore, if the company offering you services is based in Nevada then you should probably avoid it.
There are also trusts that are commonly offered through Delaware and Alaska. You should avoid these as well because they are scams. There are general faith and credit clauses in these states, so you should watch for these scams. In fact, the only groups that are being benefited by these trusts are the lawyers in these states.
Also, people who offer you services if you attend their seminars are generally scammers. These seminars and books for assistance may sound like great bargains but the truth is that you will not only be receiving information that you are already receiving for free but you can also lose your financial information to these people.
Asset protection scams can be dangerous but by knowing the signs of these scams it will be easier for you to work on protecting your finances. You should look into offshore IBC accounts, the location of the group you are doing business with. Watch out for tax savings offers and seminars, as these are common signs to watch for. By knowing these it will be easier for you to get the asset protection services that you really deserve.
