Wire transfer scam targets area businesses By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

How many times have you received an email from your boss asking you to handle something because they were busy? Ok, lower your hands. It’s a common practice and now some cyber scammers are hoping to play on those routine requests to cheat you out of thousands of dollars at a time. Several local businesses and banks say

that the practice known as “spear phishing” has targeted several local businesses. On some occasions, the scam attempt turned out to be an expensive lesson in the latest in cyber crime. “It’s something that we in the banking industry see almost every day,” said Mark Spencer, senior vice president and central Alabama area executive for USAmeriBank. “The email comes from an address that is very similar to someone

in your company. It looks real and sounds like a logical request from someone in authority at your business. “The reason they are so realistic is that this is a fulltime job for these criminals. They study your website, and in some cases get into your email. They do that to get information that makes the emails look legitimate and extremely realistic. That’s how good they are.” In January, the Federal Bureau of

Let the hunt begin

Schools’ staff and first responders take part in exercise By Cliff Williams Outlook Staff Writer

The season for hunting deer in Alabama with guns officially opens on Saturday, just as temperatures are beginning to settle into their autumn norms. Area hunters can expect a large herd, state officials say.

Hunters, stores, officials prep for opening of gun season By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

Saturday morning, an untold number of men and women in Alabama will wake up early, grab a cup of coffee and maybe a quick bite of breakfast, then head out into the initial pre-dawn of the 2015-2016 gun season for whitetail deer. Yes, it’s deer season in Alabama. That’s good news for not only hunters who eagerly await each season’s start, but also for lots of seasonal processors and some other area merchants. Alabama Game Warden Sgt. Michael East says his early poll of processors who have dealt with bow-season kills indicates another year of good, healthy-

Investigation’s Internet Crime Complaint Center issued a warning about the wire transfer schemes that had surfaced. At that time, FBI statistics showed between October 2013 and December 2014, 1,198 U.S. victims and 928 nonU.S. victims of the scam filed complaints about the same basic type scam. The FBI estimated the losses for U.S. businesses over that period were $179 million and See SCAM, Page 7

weight deer is likely in the area of Tallapoosa, Coosa and Elmore counties. “I check in with some of the processors from time to time and they’re telling me that the deer they’ve seen so far are a lot like or a little better than last year, which they told me last year there were mostly good weights on the deer taken around here. So, we’re looking for a good season.” Early 2015-16 harvest statistics reported to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources through its voluntary Game Check online system show 38 deer have been taken in the Tallapoosa-Coosa-Elmore county area, including 13 antlered bucks. Last season, final Game Check stats

showed those same three counties totaled 780 deer, 466 of them bucks, by season’s end. However, according to Marissa Futral, coordinator of hunter education and Becoming an Outdoors-Woman for ADCNR, those numbers are likely low. Last year, a little more than 13,000 deer were reported through Game Check. “And there were probably a quarter of a million deer killed in Alabama last year,” Futral said. “So, it really looks like unless we make it mandatory, a lot of people are not going to use it.” Regardless, East expects numbers similar to last year, whether it be in numbers of deer killed or in weights, See HUNT, Page 7

Tallapoosa County Schools have a taken a step that no one else in the state has when it comes to protecting its students in an emergency event. In October, the system along with the command staff at the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s office, Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s office dispatchers, the Dadeville Police Department, the Dadeville Fire Department, the Alexander City Rescue Squad and Tallapoosa County EMA took part in a table-top exercise. “I know of no other school system in the state that has gone to the step of table top exercises,” Tallapoosa County School superintendent Joe Windle said at Monday’s Board of Education meeting. “We are on the cutting edge in Tallapoosa County in dealing with preparation and planning for a catastrophic event.” “It is something we have been talking about for several years,” Tallapoosa County Chief Deputy Sheriff David McMichael explained to the board. “We have been training in the schools as first responders but not with everyone that would be involved in an incident. We wanted to go that next step where we had all the parties that would be involved together and a do a table-top exercise.” McMichael explained why the exercise was a success. “The biggest thing we were able to do is get everyone exposed to the incident See TRAINING, Page 7

Area boat dealers again near top of industry rankings By Betsy Iler TPI Magazine Editor

Singleton Marine Group (SMG) Nov. 18 was honored as Boating Industry magazine’s No. 2 dealer in North America, with Russell Marine making this year’s list in the No. 4 spot and Skier’s Marine included in the top 100. SMG also brought home the Most Innovative Dealer award after the gala banquet held in Orlando, Florida. “We are excited to be No. 2,” said Evan Davis, head of marketing for OneWater Marine, the umbrella organization for SMG. “Last year, we were No. 3, so that’s an improvement. The criteria that Boating Industry uses includes detailed financial questions, inventory turnover, technician efficiency, marketing initiatives. They want to know what you are

doing to improve.” Davis said company leaders tried to think outside the box of marketing and customer service strategies to win the innovation title. “In everything we do, we try to support the philosophy that if we are treating the customer unlike anyone else, everything else will fall into place,” Davis explained. “One of the things we did was we found that our customers were two times more likely to listen to Internet radio, so we created a station where they could listen to boating music.” Dave Commander at Russell Marine said great employees are largely responsible for the company’s consistent placement on the Top 100 list since Boating Kenneth Boone / The Outlook Industry, the leading trade magazine for Sales of boats like this one seen on Lake Martin helped See MARINE Page 2 make two area boat dealers among the top in the country.

DEAR ABBY: My sister “Adele” chose to adopt a baby boy when she was in her late 50s. She isn’t married. Before the adoption, she asked me if something happened to her, would I take care of the child. I had already raised my children and was going through a divorce, so I said, “No. I’m too old and I want to enjoy my future retirement.” She got mad. Adele is now approaching 70 with a high-maintenance 12-year-old son she has signed up for every extracurricular activity under the sun. I have seen him twice since the adoption. If and when the question comes up again, how do I handle it? -- AUNT IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR AUNT: After you refused her request, your sister probably asked someone else -- someone more involved in her and her son’s daily lives -- to step in.

That your BFF would treat you the way she has is puzzling, unless she’s jealous because you spend so much time with your boyfriend or he has offended her in some way.

DEAR ABBY

25-year-old who has been dating a great guy for a year. The relationship is everything I have dreamed of -- and more. My only concern is that my friends don’t seem to care much for him. That doesn’t bother me, but what does bother me is they are distancing themselves from me now. I’m no longer invited to gatherings. My “best friend” doesn’t keep in touch anymore, and I have given up on trying to reach out every time. If I do manage to talk to her, she makes an excuse to get off the phone as quickly as possible. I have never done this to any of my friends, regardless of whom they were dating or what life threw at them. Is this a normal part of life? Should I reconsider my friendships? -BOTHERED IN BOSTON DEAR BOTHERED: Relationships sometimes ebb and flow. Before “reconsider-

Our

Opinion

City Council budget decision was the right one

T

his newspaper has a long tradition of encouraging local governments to be fiscally conservative. Being good stewards of the taxpayers’ money is something all citizens should demand. But when it became apparent that the only way that a city budget impasse could be reached was pulling from reserves, we think the Alexander City City Council did the right thing. The council had been slapped in the face with the reality that many of the city’s-longest tenured employees had not been given step raises that reflect their seniority. While employees were careful in their passionate appeals not to drop the “L-word,” not taking action could have resulted in a class action lawsuit. Such a suit would have cost the city far more than the $325,000 that doing the right thing will cost. So rather than us running on about the move, the words of council members explain it better. Council President Jim Spann said it well. “Nothing gets fixed until you do something about it. If we fix this now, we don’t have to deal with it again. This is the first opportunity we’ve had to do something about it and if we don’t handle it, we are no better than the others who passed the buck.” Bobby Tapley said that this has to be the exception rather than the rule. “I’m not an accountant but we can’t keep spending more than we are taking in, the piggy bank is going to be gone,” Tapley said. “But I agree that we don’t have many other options. With the rates and the expected revenue we should be able to replace that money. But we have to cap it and make sure that it is put back.” Now that the Alexander City City Council has taken this step with the understanding that the funds will be returned over time, we will take them at their word that they will watch the budget much closer than in the past. Like Billy Ray Wall said: “We will have to look real close and if next year we are in this situation and we are eating T-bone steak, then we will cut back to eating weenies,” Wall said.

The

Inmates running the asylum on college campuses

H

igher education in America continues to fail us. Colleges and universities have priced themselves out of the market by raising tuition at twice the rate of inflation, thus saddling graduates with crippling student loan debt. From taking no responsibility for the quality of their graduate “product” to being liberal indoctrination camps, academia has gone over the cliff. A study by a Dr. Stotshky for Renaissance Learning concluded that our young college students read at about an 8th grade level. Or, as the Obama Education Department probably reported it, “8th graders now read at the college level.” Nothing better demonstrates just how out of control this is than the recent lunacy at the University of Missouri, where trumped up, scant-to-nonexistent “facts” led to left-winged hysteria that resulted in a spineless president’s resignation. Led by faux hunger striker and veteran of the Ferguson protests, Jonathan Butler (an African-American Mizzou grad student whose father made $8.4 million last year as an executive with Union Pacific Railroad), Concerned Students 1950 made a list of silly demands. One of them was that UM President Wolfe acknowledge his “white male privilege.” Wolfe became a sheep. In liberal academia, everything is a sign of oppression, especially when you constantly drum into students’ heads how they have been done so wrong. Using the Democratic Party as the model, the dubious “victim” status has been used as a weapon to bully others. Crybullying has replaced rational persuasion. When leftist adults in charge cower, kids take over. It is not much different than parenting. Sixty years of socialists

RON HART Guest Columnist

running the education system have had the desired effect. Student and faculty protestors want to limit free speech, quash dissenting views, persecute conservatives who do not agree with them, and be absolved of blame for anything they have done wrong. They got the idea from watching the Obama White House for seven years. Ironically, all the fake racial battles at Missouri really began with graduate students who were mad at President Wolfe for cutting their healthcare coverage. The reason he tried to cut this cost? ObamaCare. If they were educated properly, they would be able to see the facts here. Even for a good journalism school like Missouri, teachers routinely violate the First Amendment and intimidate the Fourth Estate. Melissa Click, the communications teacher who looks like she still brags about composting (I’d put the over and under on how many cats she owns at 5), personified this practice. She called for “muscle” after semi-assaulting a student photo-journalist covering the students’ little sit-in show. Instead of playing the football game with the team members who were committed, the wimpy losing Missouri football coach crumbled like a cheap stadium seat. Can you imagine Coach Saban of Alabama allowing that? There are winners and losers, and this tells you why. This is another issue of accountability of colleges to taxpayers. The Wall Street Journal reported that college

presidents and their lobbyists have worked to stop a plan to rate colleges on affordability and outcomes. It was potentially the only good thing Obama had done for education. But by schmoozing politicians and D.C. educrats with their sky boxes and taxpayer-paid budgets, college presidents recently worked together to stop this important accountability initiative. A pity. The way we treat millennial kids today has led us further into the “wussy-fication” of America. These kids fight rapist regimes like Nigeria’s Boko Haram with Twitter hashtags. The greatest generation risked death to liberate Europe, and these coddled kids think if they tweet about something they deserve congratulation. Like the participation trophies from sports they were not good at sitting on their shelves, millennials need to reevaluate themselves. This also explains why we are being beaten up by Islamic extremists. Today’s college kids think Sharia Law is a daytime TV show about a nononsense black lady judge. Employers, if you are thinking about hiring one of these kids, think again. Evaluate the school, the education it gives, and the values of the kid you are considering. Missouri should be in the penalty box for now. The take away: You can send your child to Missouri or to most liberal arts colleges. Or you can just save time, call your family out into your back yard, and burn the kid’s tuition money in front of them.

I want to thank Mr. Jim Spann for standing strong on what is right and honoring the city worker with an appropriate pay raise. The last council members should have honored it. They adopted it. They should have to fix it. Last week they brought it up and Mr. Spann said it is their job to find money to do it. They all agreed, but Tuesday night was a different story. They said they were in the hole and they didn’t have the money. Mr. Spann never waivered. He stood strong. Finally, they all agreed to take it out of the reserve. Mr. Spann knew it was their job.

The city workers come to them for everything their job needs. Mr. Spann knew these workers’ rights were violated and they were being discriminated against. I was getting ready for legal action to be taken, but they did their jobs and we were very pleased. It was a hard push but when you know in your heart what you have to do for the people it makes a big difference. They marked a milestone for the city workers Tuesday night and for that the people in Alexander City can be proud. I’m happy for them all, because the city council is supposed to take care of their workers. These workers should not

have had to wait almost 20 years. I told you it was ugly, but some good came from it. I’m happy because legal action would have brought yet another black eye to Alexander City. That is not something that this city needs. When you wait, someone will stand on moral principles and not break the law. They gave the people with 30 to 40 years with the city peace of mind by giving them the money they have earned. Well, they can rest better now knowing their work wasn’t in vain. Again we say thanks.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You might feel strange when a person compliments you. Perhaps the comment seems unauthentic or inappropriate in some way. Let it go. Take some downtime, even if it is just an hour or two. You need an outlet for your many ideas. Tonight: Time to do your thing. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Friends will bound in and out of your door. You could Ă„nd the pace to be rather hectic and chaotic. Your fatigue might become quite evident. A new beginning becomes possible because of the people around you. Tonight: Approach a work-related matter carefully. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Take a stand. A take-charge attitude could backĂ„re if you are not careful. A partner might need to speak with you in private. Don’t worry so much; everything will work out Ă„ne. An associate is likely to give you an earful. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Till the wee hours. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Don’t make demands at the present moment. Defer to a loved one. As a result, a new beginning becomes possible. You’ll accomplish a lot if you choose to concentrate on one item at a time. Schedule some time with a family member. Tonight: Consider a visit in the near future. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH A loved one might decide to pull the wool over your eyes. Be aware of being naive or too trusting, as it will make you an easy target. Brainstorm with a friend or family member to come up with great weekend plans. Tonight: You might not have a choice. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others seek you out. Though you’ll be Ă…attered, you might feel overwhelmed by everything that is happening around you. A friend could be demanding, but choose not to worry so much. Stay centered, and don’t let this get to you. Tonight: Say “yesâ€? to an invitation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH You could be overwhelmed by everything you think you have to do. Communication Åourishes, even if you aren’t in the mood to talk. You have a lot to complete and would prefer not to be distracted. Listen to your sixth sense for guidance. Tonight: Hang out with friends. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You might choose not to share all your ideas at the present moment. Try to isolate yourself from others, and don’t scatter yourself in every which direction. Use care you’re your spending, as easily could go overboard. Tonight: Time to let your inner child run the show. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Stay close to home, even though this might not feel natural for you, as it will feel better than being out and about. Curb your spending as much as possible, and you will be a lot happier. When you are relaxed, you tend to be a great source of ideas. Tonight: Order in. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Clear communication will settle any potential differences of opinion. You might want to Änd out what is going on. You’ll discover that someone else has even more ideas than you do. Your responses will be intuitive in a discussion. Tonight: Meet a friend at a new spot. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Friendship is always is important to you, but be aware of a change of pace. A friend is likely to share a lot more than he or she has in a long time. A partner will help you see the big picture. Express your appreciation for his or her support. Tonight: Make it your treat. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You might feel as if nearly any choice you make is the right one. When looking at all your different options, you’ll see validity in each one, which could make it more difÄcult to decide. Know that this confusion isn’t likely to last long. Tonight: Where your friends are.

people had not been thinking about,� McMichael said. “The goal was to get everybody involved and talking back and forth across the table and understand what everyone’s roles would be in an event. It was a big success.� McMichael and others involved in planning the exercise are not going to stop with just one. “We want to keep doing this,� McMichael said. “Next we want to come up with a scenario for Reeltown and Horseshoe Bend Schools and do these every year. We have to make sure everyone knows what is going on in these incidents, especially as people change and as employees’ roles change. We have to make sure we stay on the same page.�

command system that we train with everyday as first responders,� McMichael said. “It allowed others to see how we use it and how their roles fit into it from central office staff to school principals to the safety coordinators at each school.� The ‘incident’ created in the board room at Tallapoosa County Schools Central Office was a gunman entering one of the Dadeville Schools. “It was an active shooter event,� McMichael said. “In this day and age we need to prepare for the worst. In my opinion, an active shooter is an act of domestic terrorism.� McMichael went on to explain that the feedback might have been the biggest thing to come from the exercise. “It brought out things

for businesses outside the U.S., the losses totaled $35 million. That’s pretty big money, and it’s happening right here in our area. Just this week, an employee here at Tallapoosa Publishers got an email that appeared to be from the company’s owner, Kenneth Boone. It asked for $18,000 to be transferred by wire to an account that the email claimed was for one of the vendors used by TPI. There were emails exchanged back and fourth and the wheels were set in motion, but luckily, the TPI employee interrupted the Boone who was in a closed-door meeting just to be sure of details. That’s when they realized it was a scam attempt. On closer look, the

Hunt

email address was just slightly different than the owner’s actual email. The scammers often use what is known as ransomware to hack into the system and gather information, according to information released by the FBI. While businesses are the most common target, individuals have also become victims. “If that money had been wired, these criminals monitor it so closely, that it would have been gone the second it hit,� Spencer said. Spencer said that the best way to make sure that the request is legitimate is to talk to the sender face to face. Another safeguard is to talk to bankers at your financial institution that can help verify the information.

The FBI offers these tips: • Always use antivirus software and a firewall. It’s important to obtain and use antivirus software and firewalls from reputable companies. It’s also important to continually maintain both of these through automatic updates. • Enable popup blockers. Popups are regularly used by criminals to spread malicious software. To avoid accidental clicks on or within popups, it’s best to prevent them from appearing in the first place. • Always back up the content on your computer. If you back up, verify, and maintain offline copies of your personal and application data, ransomware

scams will have limited impact on you. If you are targeted, instead of worrying about paying a ransom to get your data back, you can simply have your system wiped clean and then reload your files. • Be skeptical. Don’t click on any emails or attachments you don’t recognize, and avoid suspicious websites altogether. • If you receive a ransomware popup or message on your device alerting you to an infection, immediately disconnect from the Internet to avoid any additional infections or data losses. • Alert your local law enforcement personnel and file a complaint at www. IC3.gov.

especially since there are no changes to the length of the season or other major hunting regulations. “No changes in the hunting season or any major changes as far as deer hunting goes,� said East. “Pretty much, everything’s the same as it was last year. We want to make sure everybody maintains their harvest record. We are continuing to stress that. Game Check is still voluntary. But we want to try to get the best number as we can as to how many deer people are killing.� One processor reports it has processed more than 100 deer – 10 to 20 of them bucks – during bow season.

“We’ve processed more than 100 deer during bow season,� said Tim Hunt, store manager at Waverly’s Sportsman’s Outpost. “Probably 12 or 15 of those have been bucks. We had one young lady bring in a very nice deer that she’d killed with a bow over a food plot.� Joey Fetner of Pine Grove Deer Processsing in Camp Hill reports a steady flow of deer killed in bow season, including a few good antlered bucks. “We’ve seen some good ones that have been killed,� Fetner said. “We had one real nice one brought in from Lafayette. Nice 10-point buck.�

Hunt, who advertises Sportsman’s Outpost as a full-service shop for the hunter, said there is some new equipment and attire for the deer hunters that have seen good sales, as well. “We’re moving and seeing a lot of interest in the Zeiss rapid reticle scopes,� Hunt said. “We’re selling a lot of those and a lot of Mossy Oak’s new GameKeeper apparel that just came out this year.� Hunters may purchase and print a hunting license and harvest forms online at outdooralabama.com.

TIGERS PREPARE FOR NEW SEASON

Dadeville opens practices to start 2015-2016 basketball campaign By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

Preparation for the 2015-2016 basketball season has begun, as the Dadeville Tigers began practices this week. Dadeville held its first practice on Wednesday as it gets set for the season opener on Friday, Nov. 27 at CentralCoosa. Rodney Taylor, head coach of Dadeville, said for whatever the Tigers lack in height this season, they will more than make up for it in athleticism. “It’s the smallest team that I’ve ever had, but we’ve got athletes. I’ve got 11 kids that are athletic,” Taylor said. “The main thing is we’re a team of guards. Of those 11, we have maybe two true post players. I’ve got a couple players in Quay Tucker and LaMeico Black that can play inside or outside.” In terms of starting experience, Taylor said Dadeville will only return one starter in senior point guard Isaiah Hicks. But Taylor added Dadeville is coming off of a strong summer going into 2015-2016. “ShawnD (Jennings) is graduating, so we don’t have him this year. Of my five starters, I’ve only got one back in Isaiah Hicks,” Taylor said. “It’s going to be a learning experience throughout the year. I wasn’t really sure how it’s going to be this year, but we had a good summer and did a lot better than I thought we would in our one play date at home. I thought we did well and it gave us something positive to build on.” While Hicks will be among those expected to take on a leadership role, Taylor said there are also a few others who could provide leadership and energy on the floor for Dadeville this season. “It’s also a young bunch as far as that (leadership) goes. Of course, Isaiah and Quandarius Moss have had a good offseason and he (Moss) has been working hard,” Taylor said. “I’m hoping Quay Tucker will step up and provide some leadership. Margarius Buchanan, as you

saw on the football field, he’s going to compete. The other day, he got hit in the nose pretty good… think he broke it, but he came right back to practice. It’s probably going to be leadership by committee.” However, Taylor is not expecting the Tigers to be a finished product by next Friday’s tipoff, as he fully understands that the various lineups and leaders will emerge as the season progresses. “But as the season goes, somebody will always come to the forefront. Sometimes kids fit into places where you may not have seen them fit into and lineups come together in ways you might not have thought,” Taylor said. “But until you get on that court and compete against other teams, you don’t always fully know how it’s going to come together. We don’t need it to come together next Friday. We need it to come together by February.” And the Tigers will be tested by the time February rolls around. Taylor said this season will present the toughest challenges in his tenure at Dadeville. “It’s going to be the toughest schedule we’ve ever had. Of course, we always play Alex City, LaFayette and Auburn, but we’ve added a game at Wetumpka, going to Clay-Central, Childersburg twice and we’ve added Lanett in the regular season and they’re going to be in our Christmas Tournament. And we also go to Tallassee. So, it’s going to be a tough schedule.” But if the Tigers work hard and develop their roles on the floor successfully, Taylor said their goals for the season should be no less attainable. “It’s just going to be a process every day we practice, every day we play just trying to get better. Our goals are to host the area tournament first, win the area tournament, host the playoff game and go from there,” Taylor said. “Time will tell how we will develop. I think by February, if the kids will develop and we get better as a unit, we could be pretty good team in the 4A Playoffs.”
