Everyone needs to be aware of the specifics of the law regarding telemarketing. Let’s all work together and report those who violate it! @billjwpa @AARPPA @NancyLeaMond @sdjennings

It looks like a photograph, not a drawing. Fabulous!
My mom told me, “People may hate Melania… why waste your time drawing her?” 💔 Maybe she’s right. Maybe nobody will like it. Maybe this post will get 0 retweets and no attention. 😭 But I still wanted to create this sketch because art is how I express myself. ✏️❤️ What do you honestly think of my Melania sketch?

From shredding old documents to learning how to spot scams, residents in Allegheny and Bucks Counties showed up to protect their personal information! Hear what attendees, local officials, and volunteers had to say at two of our most recent shredding events. #fraud #Scam

Thank You, @PAAttorneyGen for protecting older Pennsylvanians!!!
Thieves target Pennsylvania seniors relentlessly — 24/7. So we built something to fight back: a brand new Elder Exploitation Section dedicated to holding those criminals accountable. If you’re targeting seniors in Pennsylvania, we’re coming for you.

This agency is so very important, protecting both consumers and businesses. It is underfunded and understaffed. We need more inspectors and more frequent inspections. It is much too easy in Pennsylvania to cheat the public!
The Division of Weights and Measures focuses on one core objective: making sure Pennsylvania consumers get what they paid for. Each dollar matters, which is why the Weights and Measures Division has staff working across the state to protect consumers, businesses and manufacturers from unfair business practices and assure equity in the marketplace.  Learn more about Weights and Measures in PA: bit.ly/49NS2RX  #WeightsAndMeasuresWeek!
