Senator Jack M. Martins (R-7th Senate District) will be sponsoring a program in Port Washington to help senior citizens protect themselves from scams and fraud.  The program, which Senator Martins is holding with the New York State Department of State’s Division of Consumer Protection, will take place at the Port Washington Public Library (1 Library Drive, Port Washington) on Wednesday, July 27th at 1:15 pm. 

     Division of Consumer Protection representatives will inform residents about recent scams targeting senior citizens and teach them steps to prevent identity theft, protect their personal information, and avoid becoming a victim of fraud.  Seniors will also be able to ask questions.
