In this Update:
Centre County Chamber Legislative Breakfast
I joined state and federal colleagues for the Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County’s Legislative Breakfast this week. Senior Scams Seminar
I partnered with the Office of Attorney General for a seminar to discuss the top 10 scams targeting seniors and how to prevent them. We shared important information on common red flags and the tactics scammers use to trick individuals into giving up personal information. Staying informed is one of the best ways to stay protected. Fraudulent invest schemes are appearing on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp featuring recognizable figures, like Cathie Wood (Ark Invest), Joe Kernen (CNBC) or Kevin O’Leary (CNBC) without their permission. In these “pump and dump” schemes, victims are lured into online groups and convinced to invest in cryptocurrencies or low-priced stocks. The scammers advertise, hype and recommend buying the stocks or cryptocurrencies, increasing their prices, and then sell when the price is high, while the victims lose their money. If you have concerns that you are being scammed, please reach out to my office or contact the Bureau of Consumer Protection at 800-441-2555 or scams@attorneygeneral.gov. Cambria County Farm Bureau Spring Meeting
I also attended the Cambria County Farm Bureau Spring Meeting in Ebensburg this week. Creameries Encouraged to Join PA Ice Cream Trail
Area creameries have until this Monday, April 13, to get listed on the 2026 PA Ice Cream Trail. Last year’s promotion brought more than 12,500 visitors to creameries statewide. The PA Ice Cream Trail runs from June to September and is designed to increase consumer awareness of locally produced dairy products. The program includes a digital passport featuring creameries across the state and a prize for those who visit a certain number of creameries. Pennsylvania dairy farms that have a value-added ice cream component to their business and meet the qualifications of the PA Preferred® program are encouraged to join the trail. Find out how to participate at the Center for Dairy Excellence. Property Tax/Rent Rebate Application Assistance
