Arlene Ferris-Waks, director of complaints and investor outreach for the New Jersey Bureau of Securities, will host the Investment Fraud and How to Avoid Becoming A Victim program at the Main Library on Friday, April 10.
The New Jersey Bureau of Securities—a unit of the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs, which is a division of the Office of the Attorney General— is charged with protecting investors from investment fraud, and regulating the securities industry in New Jersey. Through its Investor Education initiative, the Bureau also helps New Jersey residents become informed investors and promotes financial literacy.
During the upcoming program, scheduled for 11:00am, Ferris-Waks will provide tips for investing safely as well as information to help one recognize and avoid investment scams by identifying the key “red flags” of fraud.
This program is open to adult patrons. Registration is suggested but not required.
