In a world of Fraud and Selfishness
• Designations: evidence of training and experience. Not necessarily a guarantee of common sense and ethical integrity.
• Friends’ recommendations: a source of trust, yet Bernie Madoff, Earl Jones, and each week’s news prove fraud can spread among friends.
• Weigh planners’ designations, report of friends or other trusted advisors, and an internet search to confirm service, integrity and stewardship.
