**Security Alert**

         May 1, 2025:

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is! For example if someone offers you a check for $2,000 but then says they overpaid you and asks for $1,000 back – it is a scam. Don’t cash the check, and end contact with the person. If in doubt, call or text us for help.

 

  • SIM Swap Urgent Notice: Malicious actors are now causing cell phone service provider records to be altered allowing them access to your phone’s calls and texts. Find out more here.

 

  • IMPORTANT: Shazam’s phone number is being spoofed. If you get a call claiming to be Shazam, be sure not to give out your personal identifying information or call Shazam directly.
