Boiler room Used to describe place or operation in which unscrupulous salespeople call and try to sell people speculative, even fraudulent securities.
Boiler room. A boiler room is a location used by con artists to contact potential victims out-of-the-blue -- an approach known as cold calling -- in an attempt to sell high-risk investments that may or may not be legitimate. Boiler room scammers typically use high-pressure tactics to close an immediate sale and are unwilling to provide written information about either the investment they are pushing or themselves.
