Scams blossoming like wild flowers this spring

Word of the day is caution - ok, two words, extreme caution - no matter if the number looks/sounds familiar, no matter if it comes to you on Facebook, in an email, in a text message on electronic devices - be on your guard and do not reply nor click a link.

From the Edmonton Metcalfe County Chamber of Commerce
sharing Better Business Bureau advice and tips for self protection


Beware of a "wrong number" text scam. Consumers report receiving texts that include photos of a young woman who attempts to start a conversation. This is a phishing scam using bots and stolen photos to gain your personal and financial information. Do not reply, and block the number!

Carol Perkins: Useful surprises

Previous Column: The Slap

By Carol Perkins

A box of Cornflakes, a Cracker Jack box, and a box of oatmeal had something in common years ago: a prize inside. This prize might be a pulsating ring, a floating frogman, or a crystal glass. The cereal box required work to seek the buried prize. I have stuck my little arm up to my elbow in a cereal box to retrieve the prize.

A box of Cracker Jack was not as easily conquered because of the size and the stickiness of the corn. I ate my way to the bottom or poured out the caramel corn to get the prize. Often a plastic ring was the treasure-hence the question often asked, "Did that ring come from a box of Cracker Jacks?"

Oatmeal prizes were of more value. The Crystal Wedding Oats offered crystal cups, glasses, and bowls.
