Rep. Clint Owlett is organizing a Scam Awareness Seminar for seniors at the Tioga County Fair on Tuesday, Aug. 5, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. The event will be held at the fairgrounds’ main building in Wellsboro.
The seminar is co-hosted by First Citizens National Bank, C&N Bank, the PA Department of Banking and Securities, and the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General.
“Just when you think the scammers can’t get any worse, they sink to new lows, usually preying on our senior citizens with the goal of stealing their savings and possibly their identities,” said Owlett. “This event aims to help people learn to protect themselves by outlining the tactics commonly used by scammers, what to look for and how to avoid them.”
Seniors interested in attending are reminded that admission to the fair is free for those aged 62 and older until 5 p.m. on Aug. 5.
Registration is required and can be completed online at RepOwlett.com or by phone at either of his offices.
