Fraud is one of the most common crimes today, and unfortunately, older generations are often the most targeted. Scammers use tactics that seem too good to be true—offering fake investment deals, discount offers, or urgent requests for money. They prey on trust, hoping to pressure victims into acting quickly before they have time to think.
If you receive a suspicious phone call, SMS, email, or visit from someone offering a “great deal” or demanding immediate action, pause—don’t make a decision on the spot. Always discuss it with a family member, friend, or neighbor first. A second opinion could save you from financial loss.
Stay alert, ask questions, and remember: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Vehicle theft is on the rise, and criminals are getting smarter. Whether it’s hijacking, keyless entry hacks, or cloning license plates, no car is truly safe unless you take the right precautions.
What can you do?
If something feels off, trust your gut and drive away. Staying cautious could save you from losing your vehicle—or worse.
House burglaries are a serious threat, but taking the right precautions can significantly reduce your risk. Criminals look for easy targets, so making your home harder to break into and even harder to escape from is key.
