Beware of These Two Amazon Scams!!

Over the last week we have had

several residents who have been

approached by scammers saying they work

for Amazon. The thieves call to say that

there has been “fraudulent activity” found on

a person’s Amazon account and then offer

to fix the charges if you give your credit card

information. If the person says no, the

thieves will then say that the person needs

to download a piece of software called

Team Viewer to protect their account. This

program disables all virus and firewall

program. By the end of the install the

scammer gets complete access to the

person’s money and banking information.

The second scam directs people to a

website that looks exactly like the Amazon

website, but it’s fake. Scam targets are

asked to re-enter personal information,

Including bank account details. If someone

ever calls you and asks you to verify

personal information, and you’re not the one

that called them, do not answer it! If you

want to see if the call is legitimate you can

ask for a number to call them back. Most

likely they will not give it to you. But if they

do, hang up and call back to confirm if the

company is who they say they are.

If you receive one of these scam calls,

contact the Social Worker in your area.

Please note, Amazon DOES NOT call their

clients when a purchase has been made. If

you ever get a suspicious email claiming to

be from Amazon, report it to the company at

[email protected]. You can also

report anything you believe may be a scam

to https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov.

Stuck At Home Together from the Un-lonely Project: As we physically isolate ourselves due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our need for social connection to get through these uncertain and challenging times is more important than ever. Based on a growing body of scientific research, we know creative activities help to reduce anxiety while promoting mean-ingful connections—even when we can’t be in the same room with each other. On this site you can watch a short film then participate in a discussion online, you can view other’s art, or create your own to share. There are also creative challenges like crafting a self-portrait from objects around your house. Their goal is to offer a wide range of opportunities for engaging in creative expression, plus sharing and connecting with others. Website: Artandhealing.org Live a Dream: This site collects video montages to brighten your day. Young people can submit a short video to share, tell a joke, play an instrument, or just give someone some encouraging words. Their mission is to serve residents to the best of their ability, to embrace older adults’ passions, and to give back to the community. They find opportunities to create experiences those residents have always dreamed of, but have never had the chance to do. Their clients have fed giraffes, ridden in airplanes, motorcycles, and posed for western photo shoots. Some have even enjoyed field-side views of their favorite football stars. They even have a program that offers virtual goggles that you can wear which takes you to destinations across the globe! https://liveadream.org Be My Eyes: Be My Eyes is a free mobile app with one main goal: to make the world more accessible for blind and low-vision people. This app connects blind and low-vision individuals with sighted volunteers and companies from all over the world through a live video call. The company recognizes that blind or low-vision people often needed a little assistance to solve everyday tasks. The technology of this app uses video calls to assist blind or low-vision individuals without them having to rely on friends and family, but instead by using a network of volunteers. https://www.bemyeyes.com/ Sweet Readers Connect: This free program connects trained students aged 11-22 with older adults in a weekly 15-30 minute virtual visits. During these visits, student ambassadors come prepared with activities to engage and bring joy to older adults including story making, music, art, movement, games & conversation. https://connect.sweetreaders.org/ Amy Keiper-Shaw, Director of Resident Life

Feeling like this Pandemic will never end? Feeling trapped inside?

Wishing you had something positive to focus on Instead of COVID?

Here are some ideas to help your days find some meaning

and fulfillment.

resistance for religious freedom by

the Lithuanians. The hill contains

crosses from the faithful of many

religions, including thousands from

Protestants and Catholics. The

Medieval fortress on the top of the

hill has been the site of numerous

demonstrations and battles fought by Lithuanians to protect and preserve their

religious freedom. Most recently, in the 1960s-70s, they successfully held off

Russians trying to destroy the hill because it was becoming a sacred place. For

many in our tour group who climbed the hill, adding their own crosses and prayers

was a moving experience.

2 Barbie & Clock-Hotel-Train-Station-Museum Ted Paris, France 2019

On our way for the 75th anniversary of D-Day, we

stayed briefly in Paris. We would have visited

the Louvre, but the line was too long. So, we

walked across the Seine River to a beautiful

Beaux-Arts building that was to be our hotel in

Paris. Built as a major train station in 1898, the

building served during WWII as a center for dis-

tributing parcels bound for prisoners. In 1956 a

hotel was added, in which Ted once stayed. In

1977, the French government converted the

building into what became a well-known

museum—le Musée d’Orsay. It specializes in

French art dating from 1848 to 1914. The train

station’s large clock, above the museum, still

runs on time. Over lunch, we viewed the Seine

through the face of the clock.

3 Barbie & Ted 18th

Century Alive

Rural Estonia 2019

During our trip to the Baltic States, we drove into the

18th Century in Estonia. Before us were acres of a

reconstructed rural village, including houses with

thatched roofs, parts of houses, barns, churches,

windmills, and many smaller buildings. Animals such

as chickens, sheep, horses, and cows were very

much in evidence. We walked through the village to

visit a particular house, where we also picked and ate

wonderful apples right off the trees in a nearby

orchard. The woman in the picture lived nearby and

came to this village to be part of the experience we

were enjoying. With ease, our imaginations fit her

right into the 18th Century scene.

4 Barbie & Ted Unintended D Day Landing

Normandy, France 2019 We were in Normandy to celebrate the 75

th

anniversary of the Allied WWII landing in 1944. We

stopped in the village of Sainte-Mère-Église, which

was in the thick of heavy fighting between Americans

and Germans. The parachute of one American

caught on the church steeple, where he hung for

several hours playing dead. He went on to receive

several medals. We mingled with a large number of

people of many ages and nationalities, many dressed

in WWII period clothing, and snapped this picture of

reenactment of the parachute incident. We met one

young American army paratrooper who had jumped

in that morning, 75 years before, his grandfather had

made the same jump under very different

circumstances.
