Investors told shockers fraudulently (12)

I believe the answer is:

stockholders

'investors' is the definition.
(stockholder is a kind of investor)

'told shockers fraudulently' is the wordplay.
'fraudulently' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'told'+'shockers'='toldshockers'
'toldshockers' anagrammed gives 'STOCKHOLDERS'.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
