'Identity Theft Protection for Seniors' to be presented in Town of Niagara

The Town of Niagara Senior Program will present “Identity Theft Protection for Seniors” from 10 a.m. to noon Friday, Oct. 11, at the Calvin K. Richards Senior Center, Veterans Memorial Park, 7000 Lockport Road.

Organizers said, “If you live in today's world, you run the risk of having your identity stolen. Identity theft occurs when a criminal deliberately uses someone else's identity to obtain financial gain, to make purchases or to obtain credit or loans, or to gain other benefits in another person's name, often at the other person's loss or disadvantage. Identity theft occurs when anyone obtains, uses and/or gains access to your personal documents and information without your consent. Unfortunately, your personal information can be found in numerous places – from your driver's license to your Medicare card to the labels on your prescription bottles to countless locations across the worldwide web.”

Anyone interested in attending should call Joe Proietti at 716-297-5243, ext. 2, to register.
