**Check Credentials**: Look into the advisor's qualifications. Are they certified? Do they have relevant experience? Credentials like CFP (Certified Financial Planner) can be a good sign.

**Research Their Background**: Google them! See if they have a history in finance or if there are any complaints against them. Sites like FINRA can help with this.

**Ask for References**: Don't be shy! Ask them for references from past clients. If they're legit, they should have no problem sharing.

**Consider Their Fees**: Be wary of advisors who push products with high commissions. A good advisor should be transparent about their fees and how they get paid.
