October is here and before you know it, the Holidays will be here and then the end of my tenure as board president. It has been a quite successful year for the Chamber thus far, having increased our membership by 31 thus far thanks to the staff, board members and the Alice Ambassadors.
This month I turn a year older and I have come to the realization that I am in the middle age category. Before long I will be retiring as I get older. I should not think that Uncle Sam will be taking care of me when I get into my elderly years, so I should be thinking of maybe of how I can possible start my own business in my retirement years.
It’s hard to believe it is October, where has the year gone. The Alice Ambassadors continue to expand its membership. We welcome Charity Webster from Meridian Care of Alice.
Hook, Line and Sinker: A Look at Phishing Schemes
Katrina Watson
Email phishing schemes are big business for thieves: The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (www.ic3.gov) estimates that this type of fraud resulted in more than $5 billion in losses between October 2013 and the end of last year. In recognition of National Cyber Security Awareness Month, here are some tips to help you spot a phishing scheme.
After a terrible and very public tragedy such as a mass shooting, people want to help in any way possible, and that often means contributing to fundraisers to help the survivors and the families of the victims. Sadly, scammers often take advantage of these moments of vulnerability to deceive donors. In addition, there are often campaigns set up by well-meaning individuals who may or may not be directly connected to the tragedy.
