Sandy Family from the Sanford Financial Group - who we know from our association with Talk 1300 -- invited me to speak at a seminar about how to protect one’s self against identity theft. The turnout was great -- about 80 people came to the Holiday Inn on Wolf Road in Albany. My last post on ID theft was written as a reference for the event.
My luck was pretty good that night. In addition to being fortunate to be included on a panel with the Chief of Colonie Police, a high-profile attorney and a staffer from the State Attorney General’s Office -- I got on the local news too.
Beth Wurtman from local NBC affiliatt WNYT asked me to taped some remarks in the hallway during the tail end of the event. I took some ribbing at the office too. As the TV spot identified me as a “computer expert” -- our design staff felt compelled to make stickers (see pic). Everyone at the WSG offices was wearing one of these stickers when I came in the next day.
Here’s the video:
