On April 8 a consumer fraud representative from NYS Attorney General Andrew Cuomo’s Office spoke at the Hoosick Area Senior Center on consumer fraud as part of Cuomo’s statewide Consumer Awareness Initiative. The presentation informed participants on how best to avoid consumer scams such as sweepstakes, bank freezes, mail orders, fake charities, “phishing” emails, check cashing scams and identity theft.
