In partnership with the Maine Office of Securities and the Securities Exchange Commission, AARP is presenting a Safe Investing Seminar Tuesday, Oct. 9 from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the South Portland Marriot at Sable Oaks.

Scam artists aren’t smarter than you, they are just more experienced! A good investment takes time to find. Sometimes what looks like a smart way to invest your money is, in truth, just a scam. These scam artists are experts at making bad business deals sound legitimate – anyone can fall victim to their deception. The best way to protect yourself is to research valid ways to grow your money. Attend this safe investment seminar and find out what to look for.

Keynote speaker will be Attorney General Steve Rowe. He will be joined by panel participants from the Maine Securities Commission, the Securities Exchange Commission, the Attorney General’s office and AARP.

Lunch is included. The event is free, but registration is required. Call 1-877-926-8300 to register.
