If an investment sounds too good to be true, it probably is

By: The Roseville Police Department
 
 
California Attorney General Rob Bonta is warning Californians about a surge in fraudulent investment schemes circulating on Meta platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Scammers are using deceptive ads and deepfake technology to impersonate trusted figures and lure victims into high-risk schemes that can drain life savings.

According to Bonta, these scams often use photos of well-known or trusted people without their permission in order to create the necessary trust to get into consumers’ pockets.

Common Investment Scams
Pump-and-Dump Schemes
Scammers promote low-value stocks or volatile cryptocurrencies through fake endorsements and “insider” tips. Victims are urged to join private groups, often moved to encrypted apps, where hype drives prices up. Once inflated, scammers sell off their holdings, leaving victims with steep losses.

Confidence (Relationship) Scams
Fraudsters build trust over time, posing as advisors or mentors. Victims are directed to realistic-looking, but fake, trading platforms that show fabricated profits. As victims invest more, they are later blocked from withdrawing funds or told to pay additional “fees,” which are never returned.

Protect Yourself
Be cautious of any investment promoted on social media, especially those promising guaranteed or unusually high returns. Legitimate financial professionals rarely solicit clients this way.

Cryptocurrency transactions are often irreversible.  Always maintain records of all activity. Finally, avoid so-called “asset recovery” services demanding upfront fees; many are scams targeting victims a second time.

To avoid falling victim to predatory investment schemes on social media, people should take the following steps:

Watch for red flags
Be skeptical of guaranteed returns, urgent “act now” pressure, or celebrity endorsements, especially those created with AI. Treat requests involving cryptocurrency, moving conversations to encrypted apps, or handling other people’s money as major warning signs.

Verify before you invest
Research independently. Confirm credentials through FINRA’s BrokerCheck, check reviews, and verify email domains carefully; scammers often mimic legitimate addresses. Consult a trusted financial or legal advisor, and take seriously any warnings from your bank or advisor. If something feels off, don’t proceed.

Be cautious of deepfakes
Scammers increasingly use realistic fake videos to impersonate public figures. Look for subtle inconsistencies in audio or visuals, and search online to verify whether the content is authentic. Legitimate experts rarely promote investments through social media ads or obscure platforms.

Protect your information
Limit what you share on social media, keep profiles private, and confirm unusual messages, even from friends, through another method. Never share personal, financial, or login information, and do not grant remote access to your devices.

Anyone who believes they’ve been targeted or victimized should report it to local law enforcement and oag.ca.gov/report.

Don’t Take the Bait on Phishing Scams

Information sourced from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). 

Have you ever received a text or email warning you that something is wrong with one of your online accounts? Maybe it says your streaming account is about to be suspended unless you take action immediately. It might even include a link that claims to help fix your account’s problems. The message seems urgent and real. But is it?
Your first instinct may be to click the link to resolve the issue quickly. Don’t click. There’s probably nothing wrong with your account. In fact, it’s likely a phishing scam. Phishing occurs when scammers impersonate legitimate companies through emails or texts to trick you into giving up sensitive information.


Common Signs of Phishing Scams:
A phishing email or text might:
Claim suspicious activity: It says there have been log-in attempts you didn’t make — but there haven’t been.
Report a problem with your account: It claims there’s a problem with your account or payment information — but there isn’t.
Ask for confirmation of sensitive information: It asks you to confirm personal or financial details — but you don’t need to.

What Real Companies Won’t Do
While legitimate companies may contact you via email or text message, they won’t send links asking you to update payment information or account details through a link. Only scammers use these tactics. Even opening a suspicious link without entering any information can put you at risk, as scammers may install harmful malware on your device.

How to Stay Safe
Don’t click on links in unexpected emails or texts. If you’re worried something might be wrong with your account, contact the company directly using a verified method, such as a link or phone number you know is legitimate.
Report phishing: If you think you’ve accidentally shared sensitive information, take action quickly. You can:
Report the incident at IdentityTheft.gov and get a recovery plan.
If you clicked on a suspicious link, update your security software and run a scan to look for viruses and malware.

Where to Report Phishing Scams
Report the phishing attempt to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
Forward suspicious text messages to SPAM (7726).
Forward suspicious emails to the Anti-Phishing Working Group at reportphishing@apwg.org.

By staying alert and knowing the warning signs, you can avoid phishing scams and protect your sensitive information from cybercriminals.

No Post Office on the west side - but 4 new drop boxes

From Scott Alvord, City Council Member...
Update on Post Office on the west side.
 
Our postmaster lives on the western half of Roseville so several years ago, I reached out to him to find out what it would take to get a new post office out here. He was very helpful, but he had no power to decide himself without the request coming from a federal office. But he explained what was needed.
 
Because postal service is a federal department, I had to start working with staff from Tom McClintock office, specifically Kim Pruett. She's good to work with. I asked what it would take to help get a PO and some blue drop-off boxes in western Roseville and she did some additional research. She got back to me explaining the details, so I talked to city staff, and they worked with Kim to draft a letter for our mayor to sign, formally requesting the new post office. Mayor Krista Bernasconi was all in to help. She signed it, sent it, and then we all waited.
We finally got word back that while our growth probably justified one, it would be very difficult to get one. But we were now on their radar.
But they could get us the blue drop-off boxes.
 
The Roseville Postmaster has received permission from the city and property owners to place new mailboxes throughout western Roseville at the below addresses.  They are also looking into placing more boxes as new developments throughout the city continue to expand.
 
Links to map locations:
1950 Blue Oaks
2310 Pleasant Grove
1771 Pleasant Grove
4080 Baseline
 
I haven't checked the locations to verify that they were installed but they were or will be soon.
Luckily, we have a UPS Store coming to the Plaza at Blue Oaks (by the new Raley's O-N-E).
