ADVISORY, Feb. 27, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- City National Bank will host its second free fraud prevention Web seminar on March 29, 2007 with Frank W. Abagnale, one of the world's most respected authorities on the subjects of forgery, embezzlement and secure documents. Last year, Abagnale presented online for the first time through a City National Webinar. It drew an audience of nearly 500, and this one is expected to be even bigger.

Abagnale will close his presentation with a live online question and answer session, with audience participation. This is another in City National's quarterly Webinar series designed to help entrepreneurs, businesses, professionals, investors and their families on The way up(r).
