Online Scams You Need To Know:
1 – PHISHING
Phishing scams are based on communication made via email or on social networks. Cyber criminals trick you into clicking malicious links and access a website that looks legit, but it’s actually controlled by them. You might end up giving your login credentials and other personal information.
2 – ROMANCE SCAMS
A romance scam usually takes place on social dating networks. Social networking sites are inevitable apps to look for love as well but you need to be careful because you never know who can you meet.
3 – TRAVEL SCAMS
You receive an email containing an amazing offer for an exceptional and hard to refuse destination that expires in a short period of time. The problem is that some of these offers actually hide some necessary costs until you pay for the initial offer. Others just take your money without sending you anywhere.
4 – FAKE NEWS SCAMS
Misleading resources and content found online is a serious problem that should concern our society. It makes impossible for people to distinguish between what’s real and what is not.
5 – TECH SUPPORT ONLINE SCAMS
These tech “experts” pretend to know everything about your computer, how it got hacked and many other details that help them gain your trust and convince victims into giving their sensitive information. Even worst, they try to convince potential victims to pay for unnecessary technical support services.
6 – SMS SCAMS
Smartphones are essential for communication, online shopping, banking or any other online activities. Be careful about these SMS you receive and don’t click on suspicious links that could redirect to malicious sites trying to steal your valuable data.
7 – MAKE MONEY FAST SCAMS
Cybercriminals lure you into believing you can make money in a fast and easy way on the internet. The fraudulent posting of non-existent jobs for a variety of positions is part of the online criminals’ arsenal. This is quite effective approach especially when someone is in a difficult financial situation.

The Otter Creek Outdoor Recreation Area, located in Meade County just 30 minutes from downtown Louisville, offers spectacular vistas of the Ohio River as well as opportunities for hunting, fishing, and numerous other outdoor recreational opportunities.

Founded by the National Park Service in 1934 as a recreational area for residents of Louisville and neighboring towns, the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife has operated the 2,261-acre property since 2011. In 2024, Meade County formed a partnership with KDFWR to assume the operation of the campground.

The Radcliff Elizabethtown Metropolitan Planning Organization has launched a website to study public transportation for Hardin and Meade Counties with a user survey. The survey is available through the REMPO homepage at www.radcliff-elizabethtown-mpo.org or use the following QR code:

“Between now and midnight on Friday, April 5, 2024, their consultant team will be collecting the responses from the public survey (available in both English and Spanish). The input will be summarized and used as the team outlines the need and feasibility of implementing a fixed-route system within the Radcliff/Elizabethtown MPO urbanized area (Elizabethtown, Fort Knox, Glendale, Radcliff, and Vine Grove) and the improvement options for public transportation in Meade County to address the area’s industrial growth.

Please take a few minutes to complete the study and forward this email to ask others to do the same (email distribution lists, coworkers, agency members, constituents, family, and friends). Also, please post and/or ask others to post the attached flyer in prominent locations that will provide the opportunity to members of the public who will benefit most from the availability of additional public transportation in our area.

Also attached are printable copies of the survey in both English and Spanish. Please use at your convenience and mail completed surveys to REMPO, 750 S. Provident Way, Elizabethtown, KY 42701.

On behalf of the Radcliff Elizabethtown Metropolitan Planning Organization and Mike Skaggs, Project Manager, thank you in advance for your participation!
Your input is very important to us.”

Sincerely,
