Financial Self Defense Class

Check the news on any given day, and you’ll likely run across another sad tale of financial fraud. Even the most sophisticated investors can fall prey to it, as the Bernie Madoff saga clearly demonstrates. But you don’t have to run in Madoff’s circles to encounter financial abuse. A 2009 survey of Certified Financial Planner™ professionals found that 60% of respondents knew a consumer who had experienced fraud or abuse at the hands of another advisor. The most likely targets of financial fraud or abuse were senior citizens, aged 61-75. According to the Elder Financial Planning Network, seniors have lost $2.6 billion to financial mismanagement or abuse. Learn how to recognize the potential signs of financial abuse, and prevent it from happening to you.

For your convenience, this class will be offered twice. Pick the time that is best for you!
