Tis the Season of Fraud Bah Humbug!
For many years it has been our experience that fraud attempts increase during the holiday season. Here is a short list of ways to help keep your money safe.

#1. Do not provide bank account and credit card information unless you are sure of the source.

#2. Facebook is a very attractive social media tool that is now being used to trick people out of money.Be wary of strangers who want to be your "friend" on Facebook. We have seen these so called friends gain the trust of people over time and then trick them out of money.
 
#3. When making online purchases, do them with reputable businesses that will protect your private information when they obtain it.
 
#4. Review and balance your bank statements and credit card statements promptly to detect unusual activity.

BERT'S JOKE OF THE MONTH

Three buildings in town were overrun by squirrels - the town hall, the hardware store, and the church. The town hall brought in some cats. But after they tore up all the files, the mayor got rid of the predators, and soon the squirrels were back.

 

The hardware store humanly trapped the squirrels and set them free outside town. But three days later, the squirrels climbed back in.

 

Only the church came up with an effective solution. They baptized the squirrels and made them members. Now they see them only on Christmas and Easter.


Sincerely,
 
Cheryl Tomesh,
