Questions and Discussion

Financial security starts with taking simple steps to implement additional controls to safeguard your accounts and personal information.

Here are a few quick actions you can take today:

Identity Theft: Contact each of the major credit bureaus to freeze your credit profile to prevent criminals from opening new credit in your name

It’s quick, easy and free to do You can unfreeze at anytime

Check Fraud: Most check fraud happens when your personal information is exposed when criminals steal your checks from the mail.

Stop using checks and enroll in online solutions instead, such as online bill pay and paperless statements

If you continue using checks, store them in a secure location, limit the personal information you print on the face of the check and enable account alerts so you are notified of potential suspicious activity

Mobile Device Takeover: Stop criminals from stealing your phone number and data

Activate account controls offered by your provider and enable those features available on your device Should you fall victim, immediately alert all contacts that use your phone number to authenticate you, such as your financial institutions

Keep yourself and your business safe: Improve your security posture by ensuring you have controls in place when conducting personal and professional business

Personal: Be wary of scams geared to get you to share your sensitive data (DOB, SSN, etc.) and learn to spot red flags in emails, texts and phone calls

Business: Verbally verify all payment requests by calling the source/beneficiary of the instructions on a known phone number. Adopt secure processes such as periodically conducting internal audits by a third part, ensuring employees have unique log ins and are educated to spot red flags and know how to escalate

You are the first line of defense to keeping yourself safe from fraud.

Our JPMorgan Banking and fraud teams are here to support you.

HBI Security's efforts to enhance and enlarge the Guard coverage within the neighborhood continues to gain momentum. The updated fees have been a positive impact to the budget and hopefully you have all seen the security at the western gates after a brief pause to reset the service. Our finances continue to strengthen, and we are starting to look to build upon the success of these past 3 months.

An HBI fundraiser was held on May 6th, and we would like to update everyone on the results.

*We would like to take the opportunity to thank Linda and Doug Von Allmen for graciously extending their home to host our first Harbor Beach Security Fundraiser. We have had an incredible outpouring of support from our homeowners and have raised over $82,795 to support Capital improvements and have more donations on their way.

from The HBI Security Committee

Through the generosity and connections of our members, we were also donated a security vehicle from Rita Case, President and CEO of Rick Case Automotive Group.

Attached is a list of the biddable items that were committed by our neighbors and some that are still available.

Overall, it was an authentic, transparent conversation and HBI will continue to communicate openly. For additional comments, suggestions or if you are interested in contributing to our Harbor Beach Security Fund please feel free to reach out to Amy Carr - SecureHBI@Gmail.com.

A continued thanks to everyone,
