Preventing Crime is Everyone's Business

Crime Prevention Tip of the Week -
"View the security of your office/facility in a ‘community' setting. Develop relationships with surrounding businesses so that their ‘eyes and ears' become yours and vice versa. The fact is his problem could become yours and yours could become his. This is application of the ‘combat multiplier' approach; the more eyes and ears involved the safer and more secure we can be by ‘extending our perimeters' at no cost beyond establishing a basis for coordination, cooperation and communication. This will also facilitate deconflicting evacuation plans or mutual support for ‘stay where you are' plans."

OFI Highlights Fraud Prevention
The Kentucky Office of Financial Institutions (OFI) is encouraging Kentucky residents not only to save, but to protect their assets through fraud prevention. OFI recommends these fraud prevention tips for savers:

Investigate before you invest. Get documentation and read the fine print.
Remember that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Take your time. Don't give in to high-pressure sales tactics.
Never pay cash or wire money for an investment.
Check out the licensing and background of anyone dealing with investments by contacting OFI.
If you've been a victim of fraud, contact OFI at (800) 223-2579 or www.kfi.ky.gov.

OFI is an agency of the Kentucky Department of Public Protection in the Environmental and Public Protection Cabinet.

PSC reminds residents of "Do Not Call" list changes
The Kentucky Public Service Commission (PSC) is reminding residents that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has assumed responsibility for maintaining the list of telephone customers who do not want to receive calls from telemarketers. Under a bill passed by the 2007 Kentucky General Assembly, names already on the Kentucky do-not-call list were transferred last year to the FTC's national registry. With that change, Kentucky customers wishing to sign up for the do-not-call list in the future must do so by contacting the FTC, either online at www.donotcall.gov or by calling toll-free at (888) 382-1222, from the number they wish to register. A link to the FTC site is available on the Kentucky Office of Attorney General's do-not-call Web site, www.nocall.ky.gov.
Complaints regarding possible violations of Kentucky or federal do-not-call statutes may be filed with the Kentucky Office of Attorney General (www.nocall.ky.gov or 866-877-7867) or the FTC (www.donotcall.gov or 888-382-1222). A brochure explaining the do-not-call law, as well as today's order, may be found on the PSC's Web site, psc.ky.gov.

Attention Virus Warning

We have become aware there is a fraudulent e-mail being sent that says it is coming from UPS and leads the reader to believe that a UPS shipment could not be delivered. The reader is advised to open an attachment reportedly containing a waybill for the shipment to be picked up.

This e-mail attachment contains a virus. We recommend that you do not open the attachment, but delete the e-mail immediately.

UPS may send official notification messages on occasion, but they rarely include attachments. If you receive a notification message that includes an attachment and are in doubt about its authenticity, please contact customerservice@ups.com.

Please note that UPS takes its customer relationships very seriously, but cannot take responsibility for the unauthorized actions of third parties.

Thank you for your attention.
