Holiday Reminders

LET’S MAKE OUR NEIGHBORHOOD UNATTRACTIVE TO BURGLARS!
LOCK YOUR DOORS, WINDOWS AND CARS, KEEP EVERYTHING OUT OF SIGHT IN YOUR TRUNK!

Keep your porch and carriage lights on all night. Even without a timer, an LED lightbulb will last years, probably longer than you will live here.

Watch your porch for packages.

If you receive a request to complete a survey, Delete It.

UPS has a list of scams. I received the last one in the list today: complete survey to receive an award. Tipoff was the email was fuzzy. Then I checked the address of the sender and it was not UPS. https://www.ups.com/assets/resources/media/en_US/fraud_email_examples.pdf

DO NOT FALL FOR THE GRANDCHILD SCAM! Ask for identifying information or tell the caller that you already told him you would not give him any more money.

Government agencies and utilities will not call or email you. They always use USPS mail.

Charity solicitations. Tell them you don’t make donations by phone.

Pl acer PROTECT Fraud Hotline at 916-645-7226 or
email  protect@placer.ca.gov

If you observe any suspicious activity, report it to the Lincoln Police: Emergencies (crime in progress) call 911 and
Non-emergency situations call 916 645-4040.
Report license #, car make, color, suspect race, clothing

Stay safe and enjoy the holidays!
