New Name?One issue that came up over and over again inpublic outreach conversations and publiccomments this winter and spring was aconcern that the name of the concept planarea was geographically confusing and wasbeing confused with the Hamlet ofBeavercreek. One way to lessen this concern isto potentially begin referring to the area with anew name as part of the code amendmentproject. Please click on the following link and

send us your concept plan renaming ideas(https://bit.ly/2PDxVOs). Some initial ideasinclude Thimble Creek, East Caufield, LoderRoad, SE Industrial (Oregon City), TwoCreeks, and Thayer Greens.

Homebuyer Scam on theRise in Oregon

BBB Northwest + Pacific warns of a growing

scam targeting would-be homebuyers. Here’show the scam works: First, scammers gainaccess to a real estate agents’ email andmonitor communications. Next, they use aphishing scheme confirming or suggestinglast minute wiring changes to divert closingcosts and down payments to a fraudulentaccount.

Mortgage phishing scams such as this are onthe rise. In fact, they rose a staggering 1,100%between 2015 and 2017, according toConsumer Protection Bureau (CPB).So far this year, BBB NWP has received morethan 100 real estate transaction complaints. Aquarter of these in Oregon alone. And, lastyear, northwest consumers reported losingover $30,000 to phishing scams.

“When closing on a home, it’s always a goodidea to confirm final financial transactions bycalling advisors directly and not just trustingan email, especially if there’s last minute

changes,” advises Danielle Kane, BBBNorthwest + Pacific marketplace manager. Ifthe money has already been sent, act quicklyby calling your bank or the wire transfercompany and asking that the payment berecalled.

Here are a few additional steps homebuyerscan take to help avoid mortgage phishingscams: Do NOT email financial information;do NOT use free WiFi networks whileconducting financial business; and never clickon links or use unfamiliar phone numbers in

Wildfire Season: KnowEvacuation Levels

Parts of Oregon are already heading intowildfire season and given the serious seasonthat Oregon, and other parts of the WestCoast, experienced last year, Oregon’s Officeof Emergency Management offers animportant reminder about evacuation levels.The statewide “Ready, Set, Go” system is usedto notify communities that they are facing athreat and are used for floods, fires and otherhazards.

Level 1 Evacuation means “BE READY” forpotential evacuation. Residents should beaware of the danger that exists in their area,monitor emergency services websites andlocal media outlets for information. This is thetime for preparation and precautionarymovement of persons with special needs,mobile property and (under certaincircumstances) pets and livestock. Ifconditions worsen, emergency servicespersonnel may contact you via an emergencynotification system.

Level 2 Evacuation means “BE SET” toevacuate. You should be ready to leave at amoment’s notice as this level indicates there issignificant danger to your area, and residentsshould either voluntarily relocate to a shelteror with family/friends outside of the affectedarea. Residents may have time to gathernecessary items, but doing so is at their ownrisk.

Level 3 Evacuation means “GO” EvacuateNOW – leave immediately! Danger to yourarea is current or imminent, and you shouldevacuate immediately. If you choose to ignore


this advisement, you must understand thatemergency services may not be available toassist you further. DO NOT delay leaving togather any belongings or make efforts toprotect your home.

How to Avoid Utility Fraud

The weather is heating up, and your utilitybills will likely rise with the temperaturesthis summer. This is a good time for us togive you a reminder about what to expect –and not expect – from your regional powerprovider when it comes to those big bills.One very common scam is for a person orsmall business to receive a message from afraudster claiming to be from a utility. Theyclaim you are way behind on your bill, andyou have a very short period of time – maybean hour or less – to pay up. If you do not,they will shut off your power.

They will often tell you that you can rectifythe situation with a quick payment,preferably by gift card. They will demandthat you get the card, call them back andread the card number and PIN to themquickly. Once done, they can empty that cardout in minutes. The card is like cash – once itis gone, it is almost always gone for good.

Here’s how to protect yourself:

* If someone claims to be from a utilitythreatening to disconnect you, tell the personyou are going to hang up and call customerservice back. Look for the real number on arecent bill or on the company’s webpage. Donot use whatever number the person gives.

* Know that no legitimate utility will give youa single notice before shut-off, particularlyby phone or text.

* No legitimate utility will demand gift cardsas payment.

* Most utilities will work with you forpayments if you give them a call.

If you have been victimized by this onlinescam or any other cyber fraud, be sure toreport it to the FBI’s Internet Crime
