New Delhi: Two investors recently lost Rs 64 lakh in a fish farming scam that promised high returns. The scheme looked convincing—buy fish larvae, breed them for six months, and sell at a profit. But once money was invested, the promoters vanished, leaving the victims in distress.
This case shows how fraudsters package scams as professional business opportunities. What was missing here? Proper due diligence.
Just as companies use Background Verification before hiring employees, investors and businesses must apply the same checks before entering partnerships or funding ventures. A simple investigation into the promoters’ history, company registrations, or past dealings could have exposed red flags and prevented the loss.
BGV goes beyond recruitment—it protects against:
- Fraudulent investments by checking promoter credibility.
- Risky partnerships by verifying licenses and compliance.
- Financial loss by ensuring legitimacy before committing funds.
The lesson is clear: when returns seem “too good to be true,” always verify before you trust.
At Corporate Investigations India, we help businesses and investors safeguard themselves through background checks, vendor due diligence, and fraud risk assessments—because prevention is always better than recovery.
