Alerts and Information
**Beware of Brushing Scams**
A new scam is making the rounds. Here's how it works: You receive an unexpected package in the mail (e.g. jewelry, Bluetooth speaker, etc.) with your address but no clear sender. Inside, there's often a QR code claiming to reveal the sender's identity.
**DO NOT scan the QR code!** Scammers use it to access your phone and steal personal and financial information -- sometimes even draining bank accounts.
Tips to stay safe:
1. Keep or discard the package but avoid scanning any unknown QR codes.
2. Share this warning with family and friends.
3. Be cautious of QR code scams in other places, like parking meters.
Stay vigilant and protect your information!
