Investor Scams in the Stock Market
Recent investigations have uncovered alarming scams targeting investors in the Indian stock market. One notable case involved a company that launched an IPO, claiming to raise funds for software development, only to reveal that the software vendor was a shell company with no capability to deliver. This IPO was oversubscribed by an astonishing 345 times before regulatory bodies intervened due to a complaint about fraud. The investigation by SEBI led to the halt of the IPO and the eventual discovery of fabricated financials, highlighting the necessity for stringent checks in Initial Public Offerings.
