Subcommittee on Investigations of the Committee on Governmental 
Affairs, will hold hearings entitled ``Securities Fraud On The

frauds perpetrated on the Internet and the ways consumers can protect 
themselves from such frauds, as well as current online trading issues. 
Specifically, the hearing will focus on federal and state enforcement

stock fraud, and whether federal and state consumer education programs 
designed to disseminate information about securities fraud on the 
Internet are adequate.
