Senator Jack M. Martins (R-7th Senate District) today held a community program in Port Washington to help local senior citizens protect themselves from scams and fraud.
Staff from the New York State Department of State’s Division of Consumer Protection discussed some of the recent scams targeting senior citizens and taught them steps to prevent identity theft, protect their personal information, and avoid becoming a victim of fraud. Participants also had the opportunity to ask questions.
Seniors who were unable to attend the program but would like information about how they can protect themselves from identity theft and scams can call Senator Martins’ office at 516-746-5924 or email him by clicking here.
Senator Martins is pictured speaking to seniors at the recent scam prevention program he sponsored with the Division of Consumer Protection at the Port Washington Library.
