Scam Video Series: Charity Scam

Did you see an ad asking for a donation? Did you receive a phone call or email asking for a donation? Do your homework prior to giving money to an organization you know little about. Is it reputable? Go to FTC.gov, charitynavigator.org or charitywatch.org. You can learn things such as how much of your contribution goes to the administration of the organization and how much actually goes toward the stated need.

Join New York State Office for the Aging Director Greg Olsen and Lifespan for an important video discussion on how these scams work—and how you can protect yourself or someone you love.

Scam Video Series: Government Imposter Scam

In Government Imposter scams, a scammer will contact you pretending to be a government agency (like the IRS, Medicare, Social Security). No federal government agency will ever call you. Not Social Security. Not the IRS. Federal agencies won’t threaten you and or ask you to pay money by phone. If a caller says they are from a government agency and asks for personal information, hang up.

The Genesee County Office for the Aging building will be temporarily closed effective Monday, May 18, 2026, until further notice.

Out of an abundance of caution for community members, the building has been closed due to its proximity to an active demolition area.

During the closure, walk-in services will be available Monday through Friday during regular business hours at the YMCA community room, located at 211 E. Main St. in Batavia.

OFA staff can still be reached at 585-343-1611.

Senior Center programming will be canceled for two weeks and is expected to resume Monday, June 1, at alternate community locations.

Thank you for your patience during this temporary closure.
