I don’t know where to put this so I’ll put it here:
No, unless you’ve used a service they’re providing, then there’s nothing to pay for. If they send you a bill, turf it or pass it onto Consumer Affairs and find out what they think of investing seminars.
A “free” investment seminar is generally an introduction to a paid for service aimed at people looking to begin investing.
They’ll collect your details to add to their marketing / mailing list either for sending you info or selling you as a qualified lead. This is in fact their payment for the “free” seminar which will probably provide some info, but will largely be an advertisement for some sort of product.
The way you can track these things is to provide alternate spellings of your name and see which letters come in with that spelling [biggrin]
Or, just don’t give out the info.
Thank you to all who replied.
Actually the company hosting the “free investment seminar is a financial planning group, does that indicate anything I should steer clear from?
