*Free VIN Etching Event Provides Deterrent to Auto Theft*

You’re invited to a free Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) etching event
on Saturday, April 14, 9:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m., at Cottonwood Mall, 10000
Coors Bypass NW
<https://maps.google.com/?q=10000+Coors+Bypass+NW&entry=gmail&source=g>.
Having your VIN etched on the windows of your vehicle is a major deterrent

car’s parts. It also assists law enforcement in retrieving stolen cars. For
more information, e-mail: pgelabert at cabq.gov

*Tips to Avoid Facebook Scams*

Use of Facebook continues to grow, with neighborhoods and residents using
this venue to promote various events and connect with others.
Unfortunately, scam attempts via Facebook are also a concern. Below are
some tips from the Attorney General’s Office on how to protect yourself
when using Facebook or other social media sites:

·        Do not accept Facebook friend requests from people you don’t know.
These individuals could be stalkers or scammers.

·        If you are contacted through Facebook to send money, don’t
respond, even if you think you know the person. Fake Facebook accounts are
frequently used to try and get money out of unsuspecting users.

·        Do not purchase anything via Facebook, even if you feel it is a
secure site. Instead, verify that the online shop is legitimate by doing
your own research.

·        If you are contacted in a romantic way by someone you don’t know,
such as being asked for a date or to meet for coffee, do not respond.
Online dating scammers can pirate financial information very easily.

·        Don’t volunteer any personal or financial information.

·        If you have been contacted by a scammer, or have any reason to be
concerned about any Facebook interactions, report the person or page to
Facebook at:
https://www.facebook.com/help/1216349518398524?helpref=hc_global_nav

·        If you have been the victim of an online scam, report it
immediately to the Federal Trade Commission at 877-382-4357 or
www.consumer.ftc.gov, and the Federal Bureau of Investigations at:
www.ic3.gov
