Webcast to Educate California's Service Members and their Families

To enhance awareness, California’s Troops Against Predatory Scams (TAP$) program created an on-demand webcast to educate California's servicemembers and their families, about the latest financial scams, importance of staying debt-free, and safe alternatives for borrowing.   Webcast will be available on Veterans Day, November 11, 2008.  It will be available on MSN's MoneyTrack Website. Visit MoneyTrack to see the webcast.

 

California TAP$ is funded by a grant from the Investor Protection Trust (IPT). The IPT is a nonprofit organization devoted to investor education. Since 1993 the IPT has worked with the States to provide the independent, objective investor education needed by all Americans to make informed investment decisions. www.investorprotection.org.
