There are nearly 2 million residents over the age of 65 in Pennsylvania, the third highest percentage of elderly residents in the U.S., reports the PA Office of Attorney General. Scam artists are well aware of these potential targets.

To educate the community about threat of these crimes and how to avoid them, the Peters Township Public Library will host ‘Don't Be A Victim: Scams and Identity Theft’ on Wednesday, October 5 from 1 to 2 p.m. at the library.

Featured speakers for the program will be State Senator Guy Reschenthaler; Specialist Philip Little from the PA Office of Attorney General; and Douglas E. Grimes, Chief of Police, Peters Township Police Department. Senator Reschenthaler will relate his experiences with identify theft and scams as a District Judge. Philip Little will be discussing the different ways people become victims of identity theft and scams, and how you can learn to minimize your chances of becoming a target. Chief Grimes will provide a local perspective with examples of the trends his department is seeing and the increase in reported cases.
Registration is requested for this program. Email programs@ptlibrary.org or call 724-941-9430 #1.

To help residents defend themselves against identify theft by proper disposal of documents, the Better Business Bureau will be on site at the library for a ‘Secure Your ID’ day on Saturday, October 15 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. BBB volunteers will guide cars through a moving line, offload their disposable items, shred them on the spot and distribute goodie bags with educational identity theft and fraud prevention materials. Each vehicle may dispose of a maximum of 3 boxes/bags of paper-based materials. For more information about this free paper shredding event go to bbb.org or call 877-267-5222.
