📢 Community Alert: Stay Scam Aware This Holiday Season! 🎄

As we head into the holiday season, the Lynwood Police Department urges all residents—especially our seniors—to stay alert for potential scams. Criminals may use this time to attempt various scams aimed at our community members.

Here's how to stay safe:
1️⃣ Verify Solicitors: Ensure anyone going door-to-door has a valid Village-issued soliciting license. If not, politely decline, and call the police if they persist.
2️⃣ Unexpected Utility Workers: Always call the utility company to verify anyone who shows up unannounced.
3️⃣ Don’t Let Strangers Inside: Scammers often pose as someone trustworthy. Keep your door closed if you’re unsure.
4️⃣ When in Doubt, Call Us: If anything feels off, don’t hesitate to contact the Lynwood Police Department.

Let’s keep each other safe this season! Share this message with family and friends to spread awareness.
