Residents of Lancaster and surrounding areas are invited to participate in $cam Jam, a non-commercial event aimed at empowering individuals, especially seniors, to recognize and prevent various forms of fraud. The event will be held on Wednesday, March 19, from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Tec Centro SW, 57 Laurel St., Lancaster. This program will be presented in both English and Spanish.

Hosted jointly by state Sen. Scott Martin and the Spanish American Civic Association (SACA), $cam Jam is a collaborative initiative designed to provide attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to protect themselves from prevalent scams, including identity theft, cybercrime, mail fraud, and financial exploitation.

The event will feature presentations from experts representing Martin's office, the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities, the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, local law enforcement agencies, and AARP Pennsylvania.

Attendees will also engage in interactive activities such as bingo. Free giveaways will be available to all participants while supplies last.
