Avoiding phone and internet scams (WU-371)

Worried about con artists? On Wednesday, September 5, at 4pm, IT professional and BI resident Jon Olmsted will offer guidance at the Senior Center on how to avoid phone and internet scams.

In this interview with BCB host and BI Senior Center Director Reed Price, Olmstead says he’ll give examples in images and audio of what to look for as clues that someone is planning to pull a fast one. Attendees will not only walk away with information about what to be wary of, but will also know whom to contact if they suspect something fishy.

Land Acknowledgment

“Every part of this soil is sacred in the estimation of my people. Every hillside, every valley, every plain and grove, has been hallowed by some sad or happy event in days long vanished.” – Chief Seattle 1854

We would like to begin by acknowledging that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suq̀ʷabš “People of Clear Salt Water” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suq̀ʷabš live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suq̀ʷabš live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors.
