Re: [East-CAC] Concern in the Community for Action

by Emrys Treasure

There was a deliberate effort by the Longview Park Community Watch (LPCW) to engage Enloe on this and other related issues. We met with school officials and discussed strategies for proactively engaging students on the issue, including a concept where student organizations would design, decorate, and deploy trashcans along Bertie Drive (if LPCW could provide the trashcans). Reactive/punitive measures were also considered. In addition,LPCW partnered with the Enloe National Honor Society to conduct cleanups through the City of Raleigh's Adopt-A-Stream program. These efforts were suspended during the stream restoration project, but now might be a good time to rekindle them. On Thu, Feb 27, 2014 at 8:46 AM, <emilycbrooks(a)gmail.com> wrote: > I agree.

You say >> 'yes'. <http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp> >> >> The caller continues - 'I will be starting a Fraud Investigation. If you >> have any questions, you should call the 1- 800 number listed on the back of >> your card (1-800-VISA) and ask for Security. You will need to refer to this >> Control Number. The caller then gives you a 6 digit number. 'Do you need me >> to read it again?' <http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/creditcardasp> >> >> Here's the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works - The caller then says, >> 'I need to verify you are in possession of your card'. He'll ask you to >> 'turn your card over and look for some numbers'. There are 7 numbers; the >> first 4 are part of your card number, the last 3 are the Security Numbers >> that verify you are the possessor of the card. These are the numbers you >> sometimes use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card. The >> caller will ask you to read the last 3 numbers to him.
