On 04-27-22, a 24 year old Daly City resident was the victim of a checks scam. The victim was offered a remote job and the “employer” stated that there were steps the victim needed to follow to obtain the required equipment for this job.

A week later, the victim’s bank notified the victim that the checks she had deposited were bad. **On-line report.
 
Gift Card Scam
 
On Friday, 04-29-22, at an unknown time, a 73-year old Daly City resident was the victim of a gift card scam. The victim opened an Amazon account and ordered $136 worth of lighting equipment on 04-26-22. On 04-29-22, the victim received an email, which she presumed was real, stating that the items she ordered would arrive earlier than anticipated. The victim wanted to know the exact date and time her merchandise would be delivered, so she searched the internet and found a number posing as the customer service phone number to Amazon. The victim called this number and the “Amazon representatives” stated that there were 72 new charges on her “Amazon account,” a hold had been placed on the lighting equipment that she had ordered, and that the victim had to “clear up the new charges” on her account in order to receive the lighting equipment. The victim went to her bank, withdrew cash, and purchased $8,000 in gift cards. The victim then provided the suspects the information to $6,950 worth of gift cards over the phone. The suspects asked the victim to provide additional gift cards, but the victim got frustrated and went home. The victim’s bank had also called inquiring about her withdrawals. The victim had realized something was wrong when the lighting equipment she ordered arrived at her door.

Youth Unlimited Pilot Program
 
In partnership with the San Mateo County Office of Education, SamTrans is launching a six-month pilot program from January 1 through June 30, 2022. Known as the Youth Unlimited pilot program, it provides free SamTrans bus fares for Socioeconomically Disadvantaged (SED) students, as defined by the California Department of Education. SED students include students that are eligible for the Free and Reduced-Price Meal program, students experiencing homelessness, foster-youth, migrant students, and students whose parents did not graduate high school.
 
The overall goals of the program are to reduce transportation costs for low-income families, attract new and more frequent riders, and understand the potential operational impacts of providing free fares to some or all youth riders.

How do I get a Youth Unlimited pass?
School districts and individual schools are responsible for distributing the passes to eligible students. Contact your school if you believe you are eligible and haven’t received a pass.

Nextdoor.com is a free private social networking website for your neighborhood. This private network ensures that only those who live in your neighborhood can join; users must go through a verification process. Neighbors ask each other for business recommendations; help in locating missing pets; discuss relevant local government issues; or connect for other reasons. It is very easy to sign up. I like the fact that the site verifies users by addresses, and it won’t allow people to access a neighborhood if they don’t live there. Please note: The City of Daly City and/or the Police Department cannot see what residents post—we are only allowed to post information. There is also a mobile application, or you can have it sent to your e-mail. Give it a try!  www.nextdoor.com
