Financial Scams Presentation by the Yonkers Police Department

This was a public safety presentation by the Yonkers Police Department, led by Mayor Mike Spano, focused on educating residents about the rise in financial scams targeting the elderly. The discussion emphasized proactive measures to recognize and avoid scams, such as fraudulent calls pretending to be from law enforcement or financial institutions, and the common tactic of requesting gift cards or personal banking information. The presentation did not include any procurement, contracting, or budget-related topics but aimed to raise awareness and prevent victimization through vigilance and verification of legitimate contacts.
