SCAMS

Unfortunately, online scammers and spammers continue remain quite busy! Don’t fall prey to their devious scams.

Recently I received an email that looked to be from the United States Post Office. The email stated that I have a package delivery pending and asked me to click on a link. This is fake! Messages can also come in text form saying they are from USPS, Fedex, UPS or any other delivery service. DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK. Just delete it.

There is another email regarding an order and asks you to “sign in and fill out the attached form” and often show a tracking number. It looks like it’s being sent from a person you know. It also attaches a bogus zip file. Again – DO NOT CLICK ON ANY LINK. Just delete, delete, delete! If ever in doubt you can go to the main website of the shipping company and search the tracking number yourself. If you know how, empty your email trash once a week.

FEDEX & USPS Text Scams

The fake USPS Package delivery text with a link to l8smk.info is a scam and spam being sent by online spammers and scammers. Therefore, recipients are asked not to click the link in the fake text messages, they should just delete them.

There is a new scam where you get a text with your name from Fedex (or another delivery service)and a tracking number. Do not click on the link. When in doubt about a tracking number go to the main website of the shipping company and search the tracking number yourself.

Remain diligent with spam phone calls you receive. NEVER give any personal information over the phone.

FOOD DISTRUBTION

The Satellite Beach United Methodist Church, across from Satellite High School football field on Jackson Ave., is distributing food on Tuesdays at 10:30am. Distribution lasts until food is gone. They have done this for several Tuesdays and hopefully plan to continue to the end of the year. Distribution lasts until the food is gone. There are no qualifications and you are not asked your name or any personal information. You can pick up for other families in need. You are asked to stay in your car, get in line and follow the signs posted.

UPDATE

We are still in somewhat of a COVID-19 slump. Some areas of Florida are beginning to open up. Just about all stores are open. Most do require that you wear a mask. Many restaurants are also open and require a mask upon entry. If you venture out, just continue to be smart. Masks, social distancing and wash your hands regularly. You don’t need to barricade yourself in your home.

Book Club met on Sept. 2nd with twelve in attendance and will meet again on Oct. 7th. There is a possibility for a return of Line Dancing, so watch for announcements in your Nov/Dec Newsletter.

Note: Anyone attending 55+ club programs are required to wear a mask, social distancing is required, and temperatures will be taken upon entry.

STAYING CONNECTED IS IMPORTANT NOW MORE THAN EVER

Peter DuckworthBeltone™, the nation’s leading hearing care provider, recognizes that during this unprecedented period where most of us are quarantined at home, it can be challenging trying to communicate with someone who is having trouble hearing and understanding. Staying home alone with hearing issues can, oftentimes, be worse and lead to anxiety and depression in isolation when it is difficult to enjoy television or even telephone calls.

Beltone™ now offers different ways to continue serving our community at a time when older, more vulnerable populations are advised to stay at home.

Beltone™ Remote Care Live gives our patients real-time video hearing care appointments and allows the hearing care professionals the ability to both consult with patients via video and to remotely make hearing aids adjustments through the Beltone HearMax phone app.

Office Visits are available If you need to come in for testing or additional services. At Beltone, the health and safety of our patients is always our top priority. Rest assured knowing our offices are cleaned and disinfected thoroughly between each visit.

Curb Side Service is also available for cleanings, repairs, or supplies. We are ready to service you right from the convenience of your car.

Please Call Us At 321-255-4884 to book an appointment.
