We had a full house (and a lot of green) for the St. Patrick’s Day party. The bagpiper and drummer from The
Shannon Rovers Irish Bagpipe Band gave a wonderful performance. The music was very moving.

Joanne Adams
Hi everyone! My name is Carly Shamash. I am very excited to be joining the team at the Warren
Township Senior Center. I am the proud mom of four amazing children and three sweet adopted
dogs. We have lived in Warren Township for over fifteen years. My fiancé Rob and I are excited
about, and busy planning for, our upcoming wedding. I am a big animal lover and cannot imagine life
without them. A favorite activity of mine is going to movies. My favorite movie is, "It's a Wonderful
Life". I graduated from Southern Illinois University with a major in Social Work, a minor in Psychology, and a specialization in Computer Information Processing. I look forward to meeting all of you.

In an era of growing technology, electronic mail (e-mail) has become a common alternative way of communication. Whether creating accounts, paying bills online, or keeping in touch with family and friends, you must practice
internet safety and be aware of threats and scams that you may come across. Determining the difference between
an authentic source and a scammer may seem like a difficult task, but there are simple signs and signals to look for
when going through your email.
Do you know them? You may r eceive per sonable emails saying that you should “check out” or “take a look
at” a video or photo. They often start with “Congratulations” or “Trying to Reach You” with your first name included. These messages tend to come from email accounts that you do not recognize. If you do not recognize the
email account, you should not open it or click on any links contained in the message. By selecting these mystery
links your computer may become vulnerable to viruses, malware and spyware that may be able to access or destroy
information on your computer.
Is it reputable? Gr owing tr ends among inter net and email scams ar e scammer s pr etending to be fr om government or official agencies. Most email providers are able to filter messages from real accounts from the messages
sent from fake accounts. However, this is not always true. There is a scam where the email looks as if it comes directly from the Discover Card services saying that someone in the Ukraine has been trying to get into your Discover account. It tells you to fill out the attached form and return it to them. The form asks for very personal information including birthdate, social security number, user names, and passwords. Never fill that out. Contact Discover immediately and let them know you received this message. They will tell you that it is not legitimate and
that they would not request that kind of information. Messages from the fake accounts will usually (but, not always) be placed directly into the Spam folder. It is important that you do not open or select any links within them.
Phishing scam These scams wor k by pr etending to be an impor tant message usually r egar ding a ver y serious
topic. Taxes, Social Security, investments and mortgages are all some of the gateways that they use to attempt to
get your attention. These emails may say that you owe or will receive a sum of money and the only way you can
resolve this is by selecting a link inside the message. These messages may be sent by accounts with titles like [email protected]. Email accounts of this nature that end in “.org” or “.com” are a telltale sign that the source may not
be trustworthy. Reputable mass messages sent from government organizations are sent from their administrative
accounts and offices and look more like [email protected]. Rather than state in the email address that you should not
reply, within the actual message there will be instructions saying do not reply.
If you get a questionable email, don’t click on any links, or open any attachments. You can report email scams to
the Federal Trade Commission by forwarding the message to [email protected]. If you are unsure if an email is fake
or genuinely from a government agency, you can always contact the agency directly, BUT NOT THROUGH INFORMATION FOUND IN THE EMAIL. YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND THE CONTACT INFORMATION
THROUGH DIFFERENT SOURCES.
The Illinois Department on Aging provides information on their website to make you aware of scams. You can
also visit www.fbi.gov/scams-safety to learn more about internet protection and safety.
If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to stop by the Senior Center for assistance.
