Avoiding common scams By: Rob Baquera, Public Information Officer, Roseville Police Department Overwhelmed by all the scam calls, emails and pop-up offers? Welcome to the club. Fraud is a thriving industry—the Federal Trade Commission received loss reports totaling $5.8 billion dollars last year. With help from Consumer Reports, here are some of the most common types of scams, and how to avoid them. You owe us money! “This is the [fill in the blank: IRS, Social Security, ABC Bank, XYZ Police department] and we’ve been trying to reach you about a [fill in the blank: warrant for your arrest, cancellation of your Social Security, freezing of your bank account.] Call us immediately!” If you talk to them, they’ll pressure you to pay immediately to prevent terrible things from happening. They’ll ask you to pay by unconventional means, like buying gift cards and reading the card numbers to them over the phone. NOPE: Government agencies never call consumers about money owed or threaten arrest. No legitimate business asks for payment in gift cards—ever. Just hang up. What a great deal! You’re scrolling through Facebook or Insta and you see an ad for something you want. You’ve never heard of the company, and you can’t find their address, phone number or refund policy, but the price is amazing, so why not? You pay with your credit card or Venmo…and the merchandise never arrives, or when it does it’s poor quality or some cheap thing you didn’t order. NOPE: Don’t click on links in ads. If you’re shopping online, go to known, reputable businesses. You may not get “amazing deals” but you’re more likely to get the merchandise you paid for. Always pay for online purchases with your credit card—if you get defrauded, you can contact your credit card company to dispute the charge and potentially get a refund. What a great job! Scammers prey on job-hunters, and they even post fraudulent jobs in popular job-hunting sites. Red flags include an employer sending you a large check up front, then claiming they overpaid you and asking you to refund a portion of it (their check will bounce); or asking you to pay them for work-related equipment and supplies. The actual job never materializes. NOPE: Hiring applications shouldn’t ask for social security numbers or bank account information. Employers should never ask you to pay for training or work supplies or ask for refunds of checks they sent you. If you gave up this information, call your bank immediately to flag or freeze the account, and take immediate steps to prevent identity theft (here’s a link to the FTC for more information.) Be wary of “work from home,” “mystery shopper” and shipping/warehouse job offers. Look up the company online and check out their job page to make sure the job is legit. What a great investment opportunity! You get a call from an investment adviser or even an acquaintance with a can’t miss investment opportunity. You’re going to get so rich! But you must act now, and you’ll pay with an unconventional method like wire transfers, gift cards, a Venmo account or cryptocurrency. NOPE: Anytime you’re rushed into a decision, promised huge returns, or asked to buy in via unconventional, untraceable methods, stop. You can check out whether investment advisors are properly licensed or have a history of disciplinary actions on the Security Exchange Commission’s investor.gov website. You can check out brokers at BrokerCheck.finra.org. You won! You get a text, email or call telling you you’ve won a sweepstakes, lottery, gift card or iPad. The only catch is that you have to pay a small handling or administrative fee. They might even ask for your credit card or bank account number to pay the fees and transfer your winnings. NOPE: Legitimate government lotteries or the Publisher’s Clearing House won’t ask for administrative fees or your account information. If you’ve fallen for this one, contact your bank and report the loss to the FTC immediately. You’ve probably noticed similar tactics among all these scams. Their cover stories will change, but their methods won’t. The common red flags are: Offering something that’s too good to be true. Applying pressure, talking fast, threatening and rushing you into a decision. Scammers don’t want you to have time to think about what they’re saying, or time to talk to a trusted friend. Asking for sensitive personal information, like your social security number or bank account information. Asking for payment by unconventional, untraceable methods, like gift cards or wire transfers. Arm yourself with information and a big dose of healthy skepticism, and you can protect yourself from even the cleverest scammers.

May 17, 2022 Simple tips to save energy and stay cool It's heating up. We have simple steps you can take to save energy and money as we head into the hot summer months. Be window wise – When the temperature drops at night, open your windows to cool down you your home. In the morning, shut the windows and blinds to capture that cool air. Set your thermostat – While you’re home, set the thermostat to 78°. Also, avoid setting your thermostat to a colder setting than normal when you turn on your air conditioner. It will not cool your home any faster and could result in excessive cooling and unnecessary expense. Check your water heater – Water heating accounts for about 18% of the energy consumed in your home. Turn down the temperature to 120° in the summer months.

Summer Vacation Safety Tips By: Rob Baquera, Public Information Officer, Roseville Police Department Summertime fun is quickly approaching. The school year is wrapping up, and vacation plans are well underway. Make sure your plans also include how you will secure your home and belongings while you enjoy that much deserved time away. Whether you are gone for one night, or a few weeks, here are some suggestions to secure your home and protect yourself while you’re on vacation. At home safety tips: Ask a trusted friend, or family member, to regularly check on your home. Make sure all windows and doors are closed and locked. If possible, try adding a dowel or security bar as an added safety measure. If you get regular deliveries try to put them on hold, or have someone retrieve them, while you are gone. Check out the www.USPS.com website for information about putting your mail on hold. Install motion-sensor video doorbell or security cameras that can send you alerts or text messages. Set a timer on a light inside your home to give the impression someone is inside. Avoid discussing future vacation plans on social media. This can give would-be thieves too much information. And, try not to post vacation photos or details until you return. Set up a Vacation House Check through the Roseville Police Department website. This program is a free service offered by your Police Department. The checks are performed by volunteers and is supplemental to your own safety and security efforts but can help deter possible thefts or damage to your property. Away from home safety tips: Share your travel plans with a trusted friend or family members, including hotel and flight information in case of an emergency. Double lock your hotel door by using the extra bolt or safety latch. Be friendly when you are out sightseeing; but remember not to give your personal information, your hotel room number, or travel plans to strangers. Keep your valuables close to you or securely locked in a hotel safe. Purses should be zipped up and worn close to the body. Try not to put loose dollars, credit cards, or your ID in your back pocket, those can easily be pick-pocketed. Use your front pockets if necessary. When dining out, bags, purses, or backpacks are most safe on your lap or on the floor between your legs. Do not hang the bags on the back of your chair. Many of these safety tips are common sense simple steps that can be followed year-round. If you see suspicious behavior in your neighborhood, contact Roseville Police Department or file an online crime report. Safe travels, and we hope you enjoy a crime free vacation.

Roseville hotel to be converted into permanent housing for homeless with state funding The California Department of Housing and Community Development has awarded Placer County $23.5 million in highly competitive funding as part of the Homekey 2.0 program. The funding is for the intended purchase of the Hampton Inn & Suites Roseville to be converted as permanent supportive housing for people experiencing homelessness. The hotel would have 82 residential units which will be managed by AMI Housing, a local nonprofit provider also providing supportive services. “Since mid-2020, this particular hotel has contracted with Placer County to house our most vulnerable residents, with much success and very little fanfare,” said Roseville Mayor Krista Bernasconi. “This will create long term, safe housing with on-site services for residents, which we know is critical to their future.” Find out more.

Spring Cleaning and Selling Online By: Rob Baquera, Public Information Officer, Roseville Police Department Spring is in the air and many of us are working on our annual spring cleaning. As we start to clean out our garages and decide what we want to get rid of, many of us will decide to use online sites as a platform to sell our items. Here are a few tips safety tips for selling online: If possible, try to sell locally. Avoid selling to buyers that require you to ship your goods. This can often have fake buyers or scammers that promise to pay, but never follow through. Meeting a local buyer increases the likelihood of positive sales transaction. Avoid posting your address on social media sites or providing your address to strangers. When selling items, it’s usually best to meet in a public location that offers plenty of lighting, people, and access to help if needed, such as a grocery store or police station parking lot. If possible, avoid accepting personal checks, cashier’s checks, or even money orders. Using digital forms of payment, such as CashApp, Popmoney, Venmo, Paypal, etc., might better protect you from fraud because many digital banking services offer fraud protection. If you opt to meet the buyer at your financial institution, it’s best to deposit the method of payment into your account right away. Most importantly, trust your gut. If something seems “off” or “not right,” you’re probably right. Recognizing that something isn’t right and stopping the communication is much better than continuing with the transaction. It truly is “better safe than sorry” to discontinue the communication with the potential scammer. It’s wise to prepare for scammers when selling online. Remember, always sell with caution; and if something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and walk away.
