Rivera to hold $CAM JAM Oct. 9

LANCASTER, Sept. 26 – State Rep. Nikki Rivera, D-Lancaster, in partnership with AARP Pennsylvania, will host a $CAM JAM event from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday, Oct. 9 at Calvary Homes by Tandem Living, 502 Elizabeth Drive, Lancaster.

“As scammers are becoming more technologically savvy, the best way for residents to protect themselves from crime and fraud is to get educated,” Rivera said. “My $CAM JAM event is a great way for area residents to learn how to spot and avoid common scams.”

Representatives from the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities will lead the interactive event, which will educate attendees on how to safeguard their money from financial fraud and abuse.

Attendees will also play Fraud BINGO, with a chance to win prizes.

Rivera said she partnered with AARP Pennsylvania because seniors are the biggest targets for scams in the state. That follows a national trend, with millions of seniors targeted each year, resulting in an estimated $3 billion in losses annually, according to the FBI. Seniors are often targeted because they tend to be trusting, have savings, own homes and have good credit.

“This fun event will especially help our senior residents learn how to spot common scams and protect their finances,” Rivera said.

Light refreshments will be served.

RSVPs are required, as space is limited. Residents should call Rivera’s office at 717-295-3157 or email RepRivera@pahouse.net to reserve a seat.
