Friendly reminder to everyone in our community that constant diligence is needed to avoid becoming a fraud victim. Carefully review ALL correspondence. Do not respond if uncertain of source. A recent scam email asked residents to change or verify their password for gardenspotvillage.net. Fortunately the resident checked with IT and learned the email was not sent by GSV. Keep in mind scams can come via text, phone calls, emails or snail mail. NEVER reveal personal information to a stranger. Inform social services if caught in a scam so all recovery steps can be taken.
