          Honoring All Firefighters Who Have Died In The Line Of Duty

(For those wondering why Chief Trott put our flags at half-mast on Sunday October 4th 2021)

Fly the United States Flag at Half-Staff on Sunday, October 3, 2021 in Honor of National Fallen Firefighters Memorial

The United States Congress created the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation to lead a nationwide effort to remember America's fallen firefighters. Since 1992, the tax-exempt, nonprofit Foundation has developed and expanded programs to honor our fallen fire heroes and assist their families and coworkers.

The 40th National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service will be held Sunday, October 3, 2021, to honor firefighters who died in the line of duty.

In accordance to Public Law 107-51, the American flag should be lowered to half-staff on Sunday, October 3, 2021 from sunrise to sunset in observance of National Fallen Firefighters Memorial Service.

Sure Sign of a Scam: Pay by Gift Card

 

Dear Wentworth Residents,

I have sent out cautions regarding scams such as these in the past and after having taken a recent report from a Wentworth resident who has been scammed out of  more than $1,150.00 I feel compelled to do so again.

Most of these scams are either phone related, or, social media related. One of the most common methods that they utilize, which is a huge indicator that they are not a legitimate business or organization, is when they ask that you send them monies via gifts cards, credit cards, or money orders, that you purchase at businesses such as Wal-Mart or Target. They will then ask that you tear off the back of the purchased card and give them the hidden numbers on the purchased card. They are at that time able to access those cards almost anywhere in the WORLD. 

If you have not done business with these people in the past, or, have not run them through the Better Business Bureau (BBB) then please, do not fall victim to them. If you have doubts or concerns regarding someone you are dealing with, please, contact your police department and we will assist you in determining if they are in fact legitimate or not. Help us help you from becoming another victim.

Respectfully,

Chief Wallace Trott

Wentworth Police Department

IRS Phone Scam Warning

                                                                IRS PHONE SCAMS

Wentworth Residents,

Please note that we have received a number of calls from Wentworth Residents reporting that they have been called, or received phone messages, from person(s) alleging to be from the IRS. These people then proceed to inform you that unless you contact them an arrest warrant will be issued for your arrest.

Other similar calls will state that your Social Security number has been used or compromised and that they need to speak with you in order to assist you with the problem.

THESE CALLS ARE  PART OF A PHONE SCAM DO NOT GIVE THEM ANY INFORMATION

Hang up on the callers, or, tell them to contact your local police department and file the report with them because you have been made aware of phone scams such as this and you will not be discussing anything over the phone.

These people can be very persistent and very convincing. Please do not fall for their scam. The IRS does not conduct business such as this over the phone. They do so by U.S. Mail and then in person.

Thank you,

Chief Wallace Trott
