Don't fall for a coaching scam! To learn more about avoiding scams and protecting your hard-earned money, visit our investor education program, Invest Smart NH!

Coaching scams are something we see here at the Bureau from time to time! Often times, they're advertised on social media and say things like:

-We can teach you how to invest!
-Learn how to get rich quick!
-We have some secret investing formula we'll teach you that others don't know about!

The truth is usually these people just want your money, don't have a secret investing plan, and are often times violating the law themselves.

Think twice and reach out to us before you decide to jump into a "course"

Milo spent hours researching New Hampshire’s history at our State Archives to put together his photo collage celebrating America’s 250th birthday.

Great work, Milo!
