Event Description

As part of National Consumer Protection Week, the Federal Trade Commission and National Student Employment Association are presenting a free webinar.

What to Know About College Students, Cryptocurrencies, and Scams

You’ve probably heard of cryptocurrency, but do you know how it works? This webinar will go over the basics of cryptocurrency and common scams – and how it’s affecting twenty-somethings. We’ll cover how to avoid the most common scams using cryptocurrencies – investment and business opportunity scams, blackmail scams, and social media scams that ask for cryptocurrency as payment – and where to report these scams.
