The Portland Better Business Bu
reau this week warns Oregon invest
ors to be on th* lookout for a pair of
stock swindler* whose scheme is to
attempt to secure a loan on stock cer
tificates of the^Texas Gulf Sulphur
Company. It is reported that these
individuals recently operated in sec
tions of the middle west and negoti
ated a number of such loans from un
suspecting
“investors” who later
learned the stock left with them as
collateral was counieifeit.
Report* from other section* of the
country indicate that these fly-by-
night operators attempt to complete
their transaction with those who are
inexperienced in the handling of se
curities, probably because the coun
terfeited stock is quickly detected by
experienced dealers.
It was also reported to the Better
Business Bureau during the last week
that an unlicensed stock salesman has
been calling upon veterans in some
sections of the state urging them to
put their bonus money in a gold min
ing venture. The Bureau urges cau
tion in dealing with stock salesmen
who have failed to conform to the
Oregon Blue Sky laws and suggests
that such offering* be promptly re
ported to either the Oregon Corpor
ation Department at Salem or the
Better Business Bureau.
