Abstract
Financial scams have become common in India. Indian stock markets have been witnessing the occurrences of financial scams and investors losing out money due to the scam's impact. This bad investment experience of financial fraud in the stock market creates a negative notion amongst investors and discourages them from investing in stock markets. This research paper tries to understand, interpret, and explore the investors' reactions towards financial scams of the companies in which they have invested and how those past experiences of monetary loss in financial scams have affected their future investment choices. A systematic review of existing literature was conducted to make an in-depth analysis of the mind space of investors who have lost their savings and investments and to understand their mindset post the financial scams. The analysis subsequently helped acknowledge that the investors have reacted to the financial scams. The reactions have negatively impacted the percentage of money invested in shares and stock markets, which is in turn affecting the stock market capitalization.
