Learn How to Outsmart Investment Fraud at the Third Annual Rocky Mountain Investor Fraud Summit

Jani Bryson

Investment fraud affects thousands of Americans and accounts for billions in lost savings every year. The profile of a typical fraud victim is not who you might think—they are financially knowledgeable, have above average income, are college educated, and self-reliant when it comes to making decisions. Moreover, a majority of investors ages 55 to 65 do not perceive themselves as vulnerable to investment fraud; yet many of their reported investment behaviors put them at risk.

The Third Annual Rocky Mountain Investor Fraud Summit provides you the opportunity to recognize, refuse and report investment fraud through an entertaining and informative presentation, “Tricks of the Trade: Outsmarting Investment Fraud”. The presentation employs video excerpts and interactive exercises that teach you the persuasion tactics commonly used by fraudsters and the steps you—and every investor—can take to reduce your risk of being defrauded. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions of special guests John Walsh, the United States Attorney for the District of Colorado, and Jan Zavislan, Colorado Deputy Attorney General.

The event, presented by AARP Foundation, FINRA Investor Education Foundation, U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, is held Thursday, September 25, 2014, in the Anthem Ranch Aspen Community Center, 16151 Lowell Blvd, Broomfield, CO. A complimentary lunch from Panera Bakery will be provided for pre-registered attendees and free parking is available onsite. Check-in begins at 10 a.m. and the program begins at 10:30 a.m. The event will conclude at 12:45 p.m. Space is limited, and pre-registration is required. Register online.
