Hip, Hip, HOORAY! In Cyrus, we have a beautiful new sidewalk and our front door is officially open again!! For all of us who became accustomed to going to the back door, it's time to revert back to old habits and come to the front again. We can't officially drive down the streets yet, but hopefully soon...

Don’t let scams ruin the experience!
With big-ticket sporting events, concerts, and festivals planned this year, scams targeting unsuspecting fans are on the rise.
Scammers are creating fake websites and selling fraudulent tickets and merchandise to steal your money, as well as your personal and financial information. Here are a few ways to protect yourself.
• Only buy tickets and merchandise from official websites. Always verify the URL is legitimate before entering payment information.
• Be cautious of unsolicited offers or deals that seem too good to be true.
• Avoid payment requests using cryptocurrency, gift cards, or wire transfers.
• Watch for red flags like typos or overly urgent offers.
• When a website asks you to verify that you are human, clicking on pictures is common. Be cautious of other requests, like entering keyboard shortcuts.

🛡️ Fraud Prevention Tip: Use a Gel Pen When Writing Checks

If you still write checks, consider using a black or blue gel ink pen. Pigment-based gel inks are generally more resistant to the chemicals used in traditional "check washing" scams, making it more difficult for criminals to alter information on a stolen check.

Additional ways to protect yourself:

Mail checks inside the post office rather than leaving them in your home mailbox.
Review your account activity regularly.
Consider electronic payment options when available.
Report any unauthorized transactions immediately.

Remember: No pen can eliminate fraud risk entirely, but using a quality gel pen and following safe check-handling practices can help reduce your exposure to check fraud.
