Many people lost money in a whisky investment scam. They bought whisky barrels that were too expensive or did not exist. Some people bought the same barrel more than once. Police are now looking into three whisky companies for fraud.

Whisky investment became popular because people thought they could make a lot of money. People buy whisky barrels and hope they become more valuable over time. But some companies lied to people and took their money. There is no easy way to check if the barrels are real.
