Considering your IFA has told you that they are a scam I'm not sure what you're expecting from people here or the reason for questioning it. Stick to regulated investments from mainstream companies and you shouldn't go far wrong. Try to find guaranteed high rate investments like LCF and you are likely to come a cropper

For education, for myself and others. There are so many products aimed at investors - some are totally legit, though risky, and others scams and some in-between. So how do you spot the scam from the risky but legit?

One good starting point: if they approach you cold, or if they advertise on Facebook, then it smells very much like a scam.
