LACONIA — Monday evening, while Police Chief Chris Adams was telling the City Council of a rise in attempts to defraud senior citizens, the prompt action of a police officer and local banker spared an elderly woman from financial loss. “It was around 8:30 p.m.,” the woman began. “I was sitting at the dining room table doing paperwork when the telephone rang.” She said that she answered to hear a woman speaking with an accent she could not place tell her that the government was issuing cards for senior citizens, which would contain their vital information in the event of an emergency.”She sounded very far away,” the woman said. “I gave her my name, address and phone number,” the lady continued. “Then she asked me the name of my bank. I said Laconia Savings Bank and she said ‘isn’t that, Bank of New Hampshire now’ and I said yes it is.” Then the woman asked for her account number and the routing number of the bank. She read both numbers over the telephone and was then told to provide the same information to another woman. see SCaM page 12

The development came as Iain MacLeod, executive director of the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, and Public Service of New Hampshire were planning to take down the nest and 40-foot pole and move them closer to the power lines along North Main Street, where the birds seemed detersee OSPrEy page 10
