“My office has received dozens of calls recalling the horror stories that families have endured at the hands of unscrupulous criminals who have used elaborate schemes and scare tactics to steal tremendous sums of money from senior citizens,” Legislator Drucker said. “I thank officer Eugene Messmer for sharing his expertise with the community and empowering our residents to protect themselves, and applaud Woodbury Gardens Civic President Ellen Golann for hosting this very important workshop.”
