Wednesday, April 29, 1:00 p.m., Investment Fraud: New Scams and How to Avoid Them
Registration is appreciated
Join Eric Giroux, Senior Counsel, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for this senior investment fraud presentation that will cover increasingly common scams targeting seniors, including relationship investment scams (which often start with a wrong number text or social media message), affinity fraud, celebrity endorsement schemes, and imposter scams. Attendees will learn practical steps to protect themselves, including how to recognize red flags like pressure to invest quickly, requests for payment via gift cards or cryptocurrency, and too-good-to-be-true promises. We also teach seniors how to research investments and investment professionals using free SEC resources like Investor.gov, as well as how to protect their online accounts from fraud.
