SENATOR AMEDORE TO HOST FREE SENIOR SCAM SEMINAR

Senator George Amedore will host a free senior scam prevention seminar in Ulster County on Wednesday, October 12th at 11 am at the Marbletown Community Center, 3564 Main Street, Stone Ridge, New York.

At the seminar, a representative from the Department of State Consumer Affairs division will give a presentation on how to recognize and avoid targeted scams that prey specifically on seniors. Tips will be given on how to avoid both prominent and lesser-known scams, and what to do if a senior falls victim to a scam.

"We are seeing an alarming trend with scammers preying on vulnerable seniors to steal their identity or defraud them," said Senator Amedore. "Participants in this seminar will learn valuable tools to help keep them from falling victim to a scam, and where to turn if they do. My office has received numerous calls from constituents about these types of scams, and one of the best things we can do is provide our seniors with information that will help them proactively protect their identities and recognize these scams. I hope all of our seniors will join me for this important presentation."

This event is free and open to the public, but please register by calling Senator Amedore's Kingston office at (845) 331-3810 or emailing amedore@nysenate.gov.
