There are currently no AFC meetings planned for November 5 and December 3.  Information on future AFC meetings will be publicized here on the AFC website.

On August 26 FINRA sponsored a web-based Investor Forum: Protecting Your Finances in the Age of COVID-19.

Much of the discussion centered on the basic information that investors need to consider with the scams that appear during this time.  A recording of this presentation may be available at a later date.  An important resource was mentioned - the Nevada Secretary of State’s Office to help investors if they believe a scam is happening.  Here is their information:
