Misrepresentation
Misrepresentation occurs when a securities broker provides their customer with information that has been falsified concerning their investments or potential investments. This can occur due to a broker attempting to defraud their customer or by accident through the broker’s own negligence and inability to perform their job adequately. Regardless of the broker’s intent, misrepresentation can cause serious financial harm to investors due to the fact that it can cause investors to make financial decisions based on misinformation.
