Scam Alert!

There is a new and very convincing scam going around. I received it this morning in my email.
The email comes from [email protected] which is PayPal's legitimate email service. The email states that a service (in my case Trust Wallet) is billing you for a large amount of money. It has a "Seller Note to customer" section where the scammer can send you a note. In the note it will give you a phone number you can call to "dispute" the charge. When you call that number, they will lie to you and attempt to con you out of money.

DO NOT CALL THE NUMBER!

I called the number to verify my suspicions before posting about it here. I found that they are posing as PayPal support, but the number was provided by the seller, not PayPal. I was able to verify that he is definitely a scammer and not a PayPal employee.

If you own a PayPal account, do NOT click on any link in the Email. Instead, go to PayPal.com, scroll down to the bottom and click "Contact". Scroll down and click "Call Us" or "Message Us". It will have you sign in to your PayPal account. By going directly to paypal.com, you know you are speaking with the real PayPal support and can verify that the invoice will not affect your account.

The email will look something like this:

Can't wait to read it. Written by a local author who knows his stuff!

"Great plot, character development and writing style. Sunday Night Fears is well written--addicting, exciting and entertaining...could not put it down. More than just about forensic accounting--about life, adversity and the ability to rise from it and embrace opportunity to achieve...

Dr. Joseph Kerwin has served the people of this community generously for as long as I can remember (I became an Oregonian in 1991). His memory and legacy to this city of ours will endure.

I do believe Dr. Bares and his staff will do a great service to the community as well. They are very good and caring individuals, honest in their business practices, and exceptional in the care of your teeth as well!

We’re very excited to let you know about the changes that are occurring in our practice, mainly because those changes are going to be so positive for you, our patients.

It has been a difficult journey since we lost Dr. Kerwin. We’d like to thank you for your loyalty and trust for the past 38 years and for your prayers and support as we grieve.

Dr. Kerwin so loved his work. He was committed to providing high-quality dental care while making it affordable, and we want nothing more than to continue to deliver on that commitment.

Fortunately, we’ve found a partner to help us do that: Dr. Scott Bares. You may already know of Dr. Bares because he’s providing excellent care to patients at Freeport Dental and Forreston Dental. Dr. Bares is from our region (he lived in Oregon) and his community-focused approach fits with our vision and practices. His staff has helped us remain fully operational, and he and his wife, Kelly, have been extremely helpful during a difficult time.

You may have heard that there has been a “takeover by a big corporation,” mass firings and other drastic changes at our office, but this is simply untrue. We still own the practice, though we will be transitioning to ownership by the Bares at some point. Scott and Kelly are the sole owners of their practices; We like them and work with them because they’re patient-focused hometown dental providers like us.

Now we come to the most important question: What does this mean for you? If you’ve received communication telling you your appointment has been canceled, you need to “reestablish” or that any other change has occurred with your care, that information is inaccurate. We’re continuing to serve the community just as we did before. Your appointment remains in place, and you’ll receive the best care available.

If you have any questions, we are happy to answer them. Just call 815-732-6911.

It’s been our privilege to serve you and watch your families grow, and we look forward to continuing to give you our best. Thank you again for your support.
