NASHVILLE —The Securities Division of the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance (TDCI) is partnering with the Investor Protection Trust and PBS Books to produce “Financial Resolutions: Sowing the Seeds for a Bountiful Retirement” virtual event to livestream on TDCI’s Facebook page, on Friday, January 28, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. CT/1:00 p.m. ET.

Losing your retirement savings and investments to scams and fraud can be devastating. Some disguises are easy to spot while others trip up even the most seasoned traders. During the livestream, consumers will hear from financial professionals who can provide them with the inside scoop on the tricks fraudsters use to try and steal their money, and learn how to recognize when an offer is too good to be true. These useful tips will help consumers learn to protect the investments they worked so hard to earn.

The event will be interactive, allowing participants to ask questions, submit comments and get answers in real time. After the livestream, the episode will be available on TDCI’s website and on pbsbooks.org/When-I’m-65 along with a variety of tools and resources for savers and investors of all ages and at all stages of life.
