In this workshop, participants will gain a better understanding of investment fraud, how to recognize a scam in progress and how to report instances of fraud.
This workshop is free and open to the public.
Rokita created the program Indiana Investment Watch to increase financial literacy in Hoosiers and to educate them about the various types of securities and mortgage loan broker fraud. The program is not funded by taxpayer dollars, but rather by the money collected from settlements in securities fraud cases. For more information, visit www.IndianaInvestmentWatch.com
