Take precautions when using Zelle By: Rob Baquera, Public Information Officer, Roseville Police Department It happens daily. Someone somewhere has become victim of a scam. You may even know someone that has lost a lot of money to scammers, maybe it’s even a family member. You might be thinking, “I would never fall for a scam.” Criminals today, however, are sophisticated, relentless and conniving. Recently, Zelle scams have been in the news. Zelle is a peer-to-peer (P2P) payment method. Zelle is an easy way of sending money from one person to another in just minutes. Let’s say you want to send money to your grandson for his graduation. All you need to transfer the money is his mobile phone number or email address. Last year 1.8 billion payments were made using Zelle. With so many people using Zelle, it’s no wonder that criminals are targeting their users. Criminals are tricking users into sending them money. Once you send money using Zelle you have very little recourse in getting your money back. Since scam victims willingly send money to the scammers, banks and credit unions are not responsible for money lost. Take precautions when using Zelle and other peer-to-peer payment methods. Only send money to people you know and trust. Never Zelle yourself. Once you send money through Zelle you cannot cancel it. It’s like sending cash. Make sure you have the correct email address or mobile phone number for your recipient. Double check to make sure the recipient hasn’t changed their email or phone number before you hit send. It’s best not to use Zelle to purchase goods or services from someone you don’t know. For example, you purchase San Francisco Giants’ tickets from a stranger on Facebook. What happens if you never get the tickets? You have no recourse. You are better off using a credit card. If you don’t receive the tickets, you can dispute the charge with your credit card company. Be wary of unexpected communication claiming to be from your bank, utility company, or any service provider. Anyone demanding payment from P2P, a gift card, or via Western Union are likely scammers. No legitimate company would require those types of payment methods. Sense of urgency payments should raise a red flag. If someone claiming to be a person that you do business (your bank, utility company, doctor’s office, etc.) demands immediate payment, stop your communication with them. Contact that company with the phone number you know to be legitimate. Never click on a text link from an entity you don’t know, and never answer a call from an unfamiliar number. Remember, scammers can spoof numbers so that it looks like it’ really coming from your bank, credit card company, etc. Before initializing a large transfer of money, talk to a family member or friend. Guard your personal information. Maximize your safety settings. Most popular payment apps allow users to enable multifactor authentication. It’s a way to safeguard your personal information and protect yourself from fraud and scams. Zelle is offered by banks and credit unions all across the United States. It’s a fast and easy way to send and receive money from people you know and trust (your babysitter, coworker, or family member). Technology has made life easier, but it has also given criminals new tools to perpetuate new scams. So, the next time you get a call or text that seems a little off, realize that it may be a scam.

The test will be inclusive of those that have opted into the local Emergency Alert system (cell, landline and email) and the residential landlines in the 911 data system. The test alert will display on phones as 833-422-5253 – residents can now save this number in their phone as “Emergency Alert” so they recognize critical alerts. The test will also use the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) System, a federal emergency system that uses geographically drawn boundaries to alert people in specific areas. A WEA alert causes cell phones to vibrate and omit a different tone than a ringing phone - much like an Amber Alert.

Customers using drip irrigation are not subject to watering days. Find more info, including water saving tips Meeting dates to discuss proposed energy surcharge These are challenging times for the electric utility industry, especially here in California. Our state is grappling with unprecedented drought and a substantial reduction in hydroelectric resources in addition to skyrocketing fuel prices. These factors are causing a significant and rapid increase in costs. Roseville Electric is proposing a temporary surcharge to address these challenges. This approach gives us more time to understand if the energy price spikes we are currently experiencing is transitory or part of a more durable trend in the energy markets.

Three Random Words for Password Creation By: Rob Baquera, Public Information Officer, Roseville Police Department Professor Mary Reed, of the Rochester Institute of Technology, recently wrote an article connecting the math behind a geographic mapping application, what3words, and creating secure passwords that a human being can actually remember. Technology is integrated into everything we do and most pieces of technology require a password. A strong password will: Help you avoid ID Theft Make it easy remember Better secure your valuable information Here’s the next steps to create a strong a memorable password. The first part of this password creation concept is what3words uses an "ordered triple" set of random words to identify a particular geographical location on the Earth. An 'ordered triple' is just a list of three things in which the order matters. For example, "box.ladder.pup" would be considered a different ordered triple than "ladder.box.pup". The next piece is the pool of words available to use. Some scholars estimate there are more than a million English words, with many being very uncommon. For their mapping application, what3words came up with a list of 40,000 English words. Allowing word repeats, which means there are 40,000 possibilities for the first word, 40,000 for the second, and 40,000 for the third. The number of possible ordered triples would be 40,000 x 40,000 x 40,000, equaling 64 trillion possible ordered triples. Remember, that's for a limited word pool of 40,000 words. Consider the amount of ordered triples for a word pool of 171,476 - the amount of words in common use in the Oxford English Dictionary! If you string together an ordered triple of words (i.e. ladderboxkitten), that becomes a password you should be able to remember much easier than a random string of letters, numbers, and special character designed to meet a set of complexity rules. If your password requires special characters, it would be fairly easy to pop one in (&ladderboxpup); or capitals and special characters (&Ladderboxpup). While the three random words method isn't fail safe for password security, the complexity of language provides amazing power to help one to create and remember a password that works for them and security requirements.

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).
