<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As temperatures increase over the next several weeks, the Lee County Sheriff's Office would like to remind you to take the follow precautions as you enjoy the spring season:<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. Always keep your home's doors and windows locked when you go to bed or leave your house, even if you are leaving for a short period.<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. Secure all lawn and gardening equipment in your garage or a storage shed, and keep your garage doors closed at all times (even when you're doing work around the house).<br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3. Put all ladders and other tools back into a secure storage area after you use them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4. Be aware of home improvements scams. If you did not solicit the contractor or salesman who shows up at your door unannounced, do not do business with that person.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5. Always remember to close your car windows, take any valuables out of your car, and lock your doors every time you exit your vehicle, even if your vehicle is parked in your driveway.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">6. Get to know your neighbors! Let a trusted neighbor know if you are planning to travel this spring. <b><u>Neighbors who know each other look out for each other.</u></b></span>Lee County Sheriff's Office NChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01466536670335479958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090010648949856908.post-6458549069715386092021-03-13T08:17:00.000-05:002021-03-13T08:17:33.434-05:00Tax Season Scams - Stay Alert<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Scammers leverage every means at their
disposal to separate you from your money, your identity, or anything else of
value they can get. They may offer seemingly legitimate “tax services” designed
to steal your identity and your tax refund, sometimes with the lure of bigger
write-offs or refunds. Scams may include mocked up websites and tax forms that
look like they belong to the IRS to trick you into providing your personal
information.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Scam artists can prey on users by promising
refunds that are fraudulent, a scam the IRS says has been rampant in previous
years. In these scams, notices are posted on bulletin boards, in libraries, and
at other community sites where people visit either in person or online.
Scammers make money from this trick in two ways: first, they collect a
fee for helping to “file” for a refund on behalf of their victims, and then
they steal the victim’s identity for further exploitation. The victims are left
paying a fee for a fraudulent service, not getting a refund they thought they would,
and are potentially in a position to face charges for failing to file a return
or for committing fraudulent reporting. </span></div>

</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">If
your computer does not have proper security controls, it is vulnerable to
access by criminals, who may be able to steal information stored on it.
Make sure your computer has the latest security updates installed. Check that
your anti-virus and anti-spyware software are running properly and are
receiving automatic updates from the vendor. If you haven't already done so,
install and enable a firewall. </span></div>

sites you visit. </span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Safely
searching for tax forms, advice on deductibles, tax preparers, and other
similar topics requires caution. Know the site. Know the company.
Do not visit a site by clicking on a link sent in an email, found on someone’s
blog, or on an advertisement. The website you land on may look just like the
real site, but it may be a well-crafted fake.</span> </div>

rebates, offer great deals on tax preparation or offer a free tax calculator
tool. If you did not solicit the information, it’s likely a scam. <b><i><u>If
the email claims to be from the IRS, it’s a scam – the IRS will not contact you

criminals have developed programs that automate the ability to guess your
passwords. To protect yourself, passwords must be difficult for others to
guess, but at the same time, easy for you to remember. Passwords should include
upper case (capital letters), lowercase letters, numbers, and
symbols. Make sure your work passwords are different from your personal
passwords.</span> </div>

In this context, “stressor events”, are shocking or compromising situations that inflict fear or provoke other emotions, for the purpose of causing an impulsive reaction.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How it works:</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">When the bad guys present a shocking claim to an unknowing victim, they often add a sense of urgency to drive home the “importance” of the scenario. In reality, this sense of urgency is another factor increasing the chances that you’ll react impulsively and click on their malicious links or download their dangerous attachments. Attackers explain their fake scenarios in the body of their phishing emails, but they’re also known for using shocking subject lines such as, “Act Now: Fraudulent activity on your checking account”. Though these tactics certainly aren’t limited to phishing emails, scammers also use these techniques in Smishing (SMS, or text phishing) and Vishing (voice phishing) attempts.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b>How to avoid falling victim to pressure:</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The reason these attackers are often successful is because they‘re convincing the target to either avoid a negative consequence or gain something of value. <b>Stop and think about the likelihood of the scenario before making the wrong move.</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Never open an attachment you weren’t expecting. Even if it appears to be from someone you know, pick up the phone to verify it’s legitimate. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">If the sender of the email is difficult to get in touch with or unwilling to speak on the phone, it’s likely a scam.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">If the sender requests that you send or receive money in unusual ways it’s probably a scam. For example, if they’re requesting a payment in the form of gift cards, <b>don’t fall for it!</b><br /><br /><b>If you feel that you have been comprised, contact our department immediately and retain all emails/texts/phone records, etc.</b></span></p>Lee County Sheriff's Office NChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01466536670335479958noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090010648949856908.post-45744051680423230652021-02-04T09:05:00.001-05:002021-02-04T09:05:24.484-05:00Latest Scam<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbsl3PKad0a7bJWs3W4c6ciNIiDD-87r4115P19gBdI7rmBPe8KONklFSfcK0PdatWymvr97OV1bI5XNh7MzSWjGwfqsvo514R46uDanSyleEJ8oBq_aRf6TtB3mKZ4DicLNdElFK/s900/facemasks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="599" data-original-width="900" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSbsl3PKad0a7bJWs3W4c6ciNIiDD-87r4115P19gBdI7rmBPe8KONklFSfcK0PdatWymvr97OV1bI5XNh7MzSWjGwfqsvo514R46uDanSyleEJ8oBq_aRf6TtB3mKZ4DicLNdElFK/w320-h213/facemasks.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">Many of you probably recall the infamous "Chinese Seeds" that started to appear nationwide in mailboxes in 2020.

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""Trebuchet MS",sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">As citizens, we all share the responsibility to see that our belongings stay secure and that we don't get complacent, this is when criminals take advantage of us. Criminals look for easy opportunities such as stealing small items that can be bought or traded without being traced.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span face=""Trebuchet MS",sans-serif"><span style="font-size: small;">I once had a fortune cookie that read <b>"Society Prepares The Crime, The Criminal Commits It".</b> Never has there been a statement as true as this! </span></span><br />

No law enforcement agency can operate effectively without the cooperation of the people it serves. The concept of crime prevention invites ALL segments of the community to proactively participate in the reduction of crime.</span></span><br />

Criminals will use any situation to their advantage–especially when it comes to annual holidays. Below you’ll find a few examples of commonly used seasonal and holiday scams, and what you can do to protect yourself.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Fake Shipping/Postal Notifications</b>: End of the year holidays invite a greater likelihood of this common phishing attack, but this is a scam you must be cautious of all year long. Scammers send fake notifications that appear to come from postal service companies. The emails include dangerous links that, if clicked, could install malware on your computer or take you to a fake login page where your credentials will be stolen.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What should you do? To check the legitimacy of these types of claims, always log in to your online account or service through your browser–not through links in unexpected emails.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Travel Deals and Offers:</b> Scammers know that their potential victims travel for holidays throughout the year. Cybercriminals send emails offering fake travel deals from well-known travel sites. They’re even known to create phony websites for cheap hotels and flights so they can rob you of your money.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What should you do? When something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Never click on links in unexpected emails. Before booking through an unfamiliar service, do your research and ensure the company is legitimate.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Social Media Deals and Sales:</b> All social media advertisements are not created equal. A “paid advertisement” may seem trustworthy, but be warned: Anyone can pay to put an ad on social media. During holidays and popular shopping seasons, fraudsters buy ads that offer deals for items that you’re more-than-likely interested in–considering social media ads target the buyer market. The ads typically contain phishing links that lead to fraudulent websites where they will steal your credit card data. Even if the malicious ad is reported and removed, the bad guys typically only need one victim to fall for their trick to make it worth their investment.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></p><p style="background-color: white; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What should you do?

<span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Autumn in North Carolina is the time of the year when deer start showing up in greater numbers along the state’s roadways, which means the greater chance for a collision with vehicles.</span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Deer are on the roadways more during the fall into early winter due to the hunting and mating seasons. They also tend to travel more during times when it is tougher to see them, at dawn and at dusk. </span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif">Historically, most crashes came in the evening between 5 p.m. and midnight. In addition to being the time when deer are more likely to be moving about and crossing roads, it is when decreased driver visibility makes it more difficult to see the animals on or near roadways.</span><br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><br /></span>
<br />
<span face="Verdana, sans-serif"><b>Follow these tips to avoid being in a deer-vehicle crash:</b></span><br />
<br />
</span><ul>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Slow down in posted deer crossing areas and heavily wooded areas, especially during the late afternoon and evening;</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Always wear your seat belt. Most people injured in deer-vehicle crashes were not wearing their seat belt;</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Statistics indicate most deer-vehicle crashes occur in areas where deer are more likely to travel, such as near bridges or overpasses, railroad tracks, streams and ditches;</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Drive with high beams on when possible, and watch for eyes reflecting in the headlights;</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Remember that deer often travel in groups, so do not assume that if you see one deer cross the road in front of you, there won’t be others following;</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Slow down and blow your horn with one long blast to frighten the deer away;</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Increase the distance between your vehicle and other cars, especially at night. If the car ahead of you hits a deer, you may also become involved in the crash;</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Do not swerve to avoid a collision with deer. This could cause you to lose control of your vehicle, flipping it over, veering it into oncoming traffic or overcorrecting and running off the road, causing a more serious crash;</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">Do not rely on devices such as deer whistles, deer fences or reflectors to deter deer as these devices have not been proven to reduce deer-vehicle crashes; and</span></li>
<li><span face="Verdana, sans-serif" style="font-family: verdana;">If your vehicle strikes a deer, do not touch the animal. A frightened and wounded deer can hurt you or further injure itself. The best procedure is to get your car off the road if possible, and call 911.</span></li>

The recording states that your service will be disconnected in the next 30 minutes if you do not call a 1-800 number to arrange a payment method. Duke Energy has been contacted and did verify that they do not call their customers for any reason and that all billing related issues are sent by USPS, including final disconnect notices. </span></div><p></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">LCSO strongly encourages our citizens to not follow any directions provided on these types of calls and to hang-up.
