The Division can provide a speaker who will come to your church, school, business, group or organization to discuss how to recognize and avoid shady investment schemes, the principles of investing safely, and things all businesses should know before seeking investors. If you would like to request a speaker, please email [email protected] or call 919-814-5400 or toll-free (800) 688-4507.

Remember: Before you hand over your hard-earned money to anyone promising a great investment opportunity, one five-minute call to the Securities Division could protect you and your family from a potential scam.
