Jury Duty Scam
|
|
|
This scam has been verified by the FBI (their link is also included below). It is spreading fast so be prepared should you get this call. Most of us take summons for jury duty seriously, but enough people skip out on their civic duty, that a new and ominous kind of scam has surfaced.The caller claims to be a jury coordinator. If you protest that you never received a summons for jury duty, the scammer asks you for your SocialSecurity number and date of birth so he or she can verify the information and cancel the arrest warrant.Give out any of this information and your identity just been stolen.
The scam has been reported so far in 11 states, including Colorado. This scam is particularly insidious because they use intimidation over the phone to try to bully people into giving information by pretending they're with the court system.The FBI and the federal court system have issued nationwide alerts on their websites warning consumers about the fraud. Check it out here: http://www.snopes.com/crime/fraud/juryduty.asp and http://www.fbi.gov/page2/june06/jury_scams060206.htm

In your practice you may be called to answer questions, provide counsel, litigate or defend an action involving the Americans With Disabilities Act. This primer on the ADA will teach you what you need to know.

New Phisher Tactic: Pay Me Or I'll Kill You
|
|
|
A new scam arriving in e-mail inboxes contains a death threat, a security company said Friday, and marks a new low in fraudster tactics.
The spammed message claims to come from a professional hit man who supposedly has orders to murder the recipient, but will drop the contract if he is paid $80,000. The "killer" says he has been shadowing the recipient for 10 days, and will produce taped evidence of the planned killing for a down payment of $20,000.

How to get your identity back after it's stolen
|
|
|
If you are a victim of identity theft, here are some things you can do:
File a police report, all creditors will ask for it
Contact the three major credit bureaus and make them aware that you are a victim of identity theft
You can put a fraud alert on your credit report. When someone tries to get credit in your name, the creditor will contact you first to see if it is genuine purchase.
You can put a credit freeze on your credit report. Nobody can access credit in your name, not even you. If you want access to it, then you have to contact the credit agencies and have them remove the freeze.

Timing Social Security
|
|
|
Most older workers are used to being told that they should wait as long as possible to claim Social Security benefits-the longer they delay, the bigger their benefits will be. And the longer they expect to live, the more benefits they'll get from the delayed bigger benefits. That means that women, who, on average, live longer than men, should wait.
But here's a new twist, from Boston College's Center for Retirement Research: most married couples can maximize their benefits if the wife takes early retirement and starts her benefits at 62, and the husband waits until at least 66 to start his. Here's why: in most families, the husband earns more and has a lower life expectancy. When one spouse dies, the surviving spouse can opt to keep his or her own benefits or instead take over the benefits of the deceased. So, a woman can start her own early, lower benefit stream that will be in effect only until her husband dies. He, in turn, can work longer and maximize his benefits, and then his wife can "inherit" his bigger benefits.
It's a strategy that doesn't work when both spouses earn similar amounts or where the wife outearns her husband. And it only makes sense if the wife wants to retire early and the husband wants to work longer, says Alicia Munnell, the study's lead author. She's not rushing to claim her own benefits any time soon. "There's more to life than that," she says.

Food stamps going unused in Colorado
|
|
|
Only 56 percent of Coloradans eligible for federal food stamps took part in the federal program in 2004, the most recent year available, an anti-hunger advocacy group said Monday.
In its annual State of the States report, the Washington D.C.- based Food Research and Action Center said participation in summer school lunch programs drop- ped 30 percent in the past decade.
Several factors contribute to the relatively low rates, including red tape, lengthy forms and shame, experts say.
"I think there is a stigma attached," said Tina Podolak, executive director of the Colorado Anti- Hunger Network, which released the report locally. "How do people feel when they go into the food stamp office? Are they treated with respect? Those are issues that impact the reasons why people don't apply."
Colorado ranked 37th out of 50 states in food stamp participation. Missouri was first, with 84 percent of those eligible requesting aid.
The group also is trying to get support for the 2007 Farm Bill Reauthorization, which it hopes will streamline the food stamp application process and provide more funding for the program. The bill is expected to be discussed by Congress in July.
This year, 249,593 Coloradans will get food stamps. Last year they spent $323 million using food stamps, according to the USDA.
The department acknowledges that applying for food stamps takes time. Applicants must fill out a 21-page form, which takes at least eight hours, according to USDA research.
Once accepted into the program, they receive the benefit within seven to 30 days, but in some cases it may amount to only $10 a month.
Liz McDonough, spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Human Services, said people are reluctant to apply for three reasons:
• They don't think they are eligible so don't bother to apply.
• They worry they don't have the right kind of identification.
• Senior citizens are reluctant to go through all the paperwork.
Counties are a safer bet when it comes to looking for food. They have more flexibility, McDonough said, and can direct people to food banks or provide vouchers for meals.
In contrast to the federal program, the city and county of Denver continues to draw more people each year to its hunger programs, said Roxane White, manager of Denver Human Services.
In 2002, 38,000 people received food stamp benefits; in 2004 that number increased to 50,000, and now 57,000 people participate.
To reach those numbers, White said her department extended office hours to evenings and weekends and stationed food stamp enrollment experts at 11 additional community outreach agencies.
FRAC says enrollment in free summer lunch programs also has dropped - 30 percent in the past decade.
In Denver's public schools, 5,000 children ages 1 to 18 are participating this summer.
Competition between agencies could be one reason, said Leo Lesh, executive director of enterprise management at Denver Public Schools. When children and their parents come to a school for a federally funded lunch, they are allowed only to eat, then must leave so staff can clean up.
But if they go to a church, a club or a recreation center, they get the same food, but they also can participate in programs, play basketball or go swimming.
2007 Food Stamp Challenge
• When: Today - National Hunger Awareness Day
• The challenge: Surviving a week on $25 in food ($3.57 a day), the average food budget of a stamp recipient.
• Participants: Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, Denver Human Services manager Roxane White, KWGN Channel 2 anchor Ernie Bjorkman and others.
• How it works: Participants eat on only $25 for a week. They keep a food diary and contribute to a blog.
• Web site: colochallenge.blogspot.com
• Recent high-profile participants: Oregon Gov. Ted Kulongoski; and four members of Congress
• Hickenlooper's first day: The mayor learned he was participating at the last minute Sunday and didn't have time to shop for food Monday. When the Rocky caught up with him late Monday afternoon, he said he missed breakfast and had little to eat at noon.
• Quote: "I had lunch today with a couple Level III executives at the Ship's Tavern and there's nothing on the menu under $3. All I could eat was the free bread, although the Brown Palace did bring a little shot glass of peanut butter."
• The mayor's dinner Monday night: Ramen soup
• Roxane White's first day: "I bought a jar of peanut butter, a bag of potatoes, seven bananas on sale and pre-packaged soup mixes for lunch, because they were on sale for under $1 each."
