1. A local consumer reported receiving a phone call from someone claiming to represent Better Business Bureau and Republic Bank, regarding a $1,000 credit card charge. This call did not originate from BBB’s office or Republic Bank and was likely a phishing scam. If you receive a suspicious call from anyone claiming to represent your bank or BBB directly.
2. Don’t fall for a rental scam. A local consumer found a rental house via a Facebook ad, but became suspicious after exchanging emails with the alleged owner. The consumer decided to drive by the house, which had a “For Sale” sign out front. Upon calling the real estate agent, the consumer was informed the property was not for rent.
3. Beware of scammers impersonating loved ones in crisis. A local consumer reported their grandmother was nearly the victim of this scam. She received a call from a scammer impersonating her granddaughter, claiming to be calling from jail and in need of bail money. If you receive such a call, state that you’ll call right back and call your family member’s usual phone number OR call another trusted family member to verify the story. Do not agree to send any money right away, no matter how urgent the matter might seem. This is a common scam that often targets grandparents.
4. A local consumer reported to BBB that her daughter was the victim of an online purchase scam. Her daughter purchased an iPad Air 4 online via Facebook Pay. The next day, the seller contacted her and asked for more money, refused to provide a tracking number, and blocked her account. Be very cautious when purchasing items – especially big ticket items – on Facebook, and always use a credit card so you can dispute the charge if needed.
5. Beware of any grants or financial aid offers that require an upfront “processing fee.” A local consumer thought he was applying for home improvement financial aid, only to be told he needed to pay a $1,500 “processing fee” for a $50,000 grant. Never agree to pay any type of fee in order to receive a grant, financial aid, or cash prize!
6. A local consumer reported an employment scam to BBB. After applying for a job through a Facebook posting, the consumer was informed she would receive a large check which she should deposit, withdraw her weekly pay, then send the rest of the money back to the sender. The check was fraudulent. Beware of anyone who sends you a check or cashier’s check and asks you to deposit and return some of the money!
7. BBB continues to receive reports of victims of the Century Post reshipping scam. As we reported last month, this “company” is a front for a reshipping scam. Do not respond to their job openings and beware of any job listing that mentions “reshipping,” “repackaging,” or “package inspector.”
8. Beware of “accidental” payments on money transfer apps. A BBB employee received a text message stating a stranger had sent a payment via CashApp. If victims accept these payments, they typically receive a message saying the payment was an accident and they need to send the money back. The initial payments are often sent from stolen credit cards, and once the money is returned, the scammer replaces the stolen card information with their legitimate account.
9. Beware of phony ticket scams. Before purchasing event tickets, watch out for prices that seem too good to be true, check for working contact information on the website, and search online for the event to make sure the name advertised matches the ticketing website (scammers often use names that sound similar to those of real festivals and events).
10. BBB warns of utility scammers requesting to be paid by Bitcoin. Victims receive a text message with a QR code instructing them to make a payment on a delinquent account. The QR code leads to a Bitcoin machine at a designated location somewhere near the victim’s residence. If you receive a suspicious call or text message, contact your utilities provider directly.
11. BBB said some companies may claim that they can make you eligible to get financial aid for a processing fee. What they are really doing is filling out a free application on your behalf and will often falsify your information to ensure you receive funds. Falsifying personal information on certain applications like FAFSA is illegal and can carry fines up to $20,000.

Louisville Metro Office of Resilience and Community Services joins with Community Action Agencies across the state to begin accepting applications for the 2021 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Summer Cooling Program. This federally-funded program is designed to help offset the cost of higher electric bills due to rising temperatures. Applications will be accepted now through October 31, 2021, or until funds are depleted.
The LIHEAP Summer Cooling Program is separated into two components, Subsidy and Crisis, to assist with electric cost. Eligible households can apply for one or both components and participation in prior LIHEAP programs will not affect a household’s eligibility. Households must meet eligibility requirements, with a household income at or below 150% of the Kentucky median income.
The Subsidy component provides households a one-time benefit ranging from $100 to $400 depending on income levels and housing category. The Crisis component is available to eligible households who demonstrate a home energy crisis situation. Crisis benefits will cover the minimum needed to alleviate the crisis not to exceed $600. Households can reapply each time they experience a crisis situation until they reached their maximum benefit.
For more information on applying click here.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Louisville Metro Department of Parks & Recreation, TreesLouisville is excited to announce another round of its Residential Shade Tree Rebate Program!
Since nearly 70 percent of available planting space in Jefferson County is privately owned, planting a tree at home is one of the best and easiest ways you can help expand our community tree canopy and grow a greener, healthier neighborhood.
To participate, purchase and plant an eligible shade tree on your residential property and apply to receive $30 back on up to three trees. This program is open to residents of Jefferson County, KY on a first-come, first-serve basis until all funds have been claimed. For full eligibility requirements or to apply, visit treeslouisville.org/rebate or find a brochure at your local garden center.

Although the first round of recycling cart deliveries is complete, there are still a lot of recyclers that have yet to receive one. If you’re still waiting, here’s what you need to know:
1. If you have not already filled out the Recycling Cart Request Form, do that as soon as possible.
2. If you HAVE filled out the form, please do not fill it out again.
3. We are currently delivering to addresses with Monday recycling collection. When those are complete, we’ll move to addresses with Tuesday recycling collection. Then Wednesday, and so on.
4. This second round of deliveries are being done by our own crews (not contractors). We can only deliver about 85 carts per day and there are over 2,000 requests.
5. While you wait for your new cart, you may continue to use your old recycling bin(s) as well as additional container(s) or cardboard boxes for recycling overflow. You may also utilize one of our recycling drop-off dumpsters. We appreciate your patience!
The new every other week recycling schedule begins this week. The week of July 19 will be the first week with no recycling collection. Keep up with the schedule by downloading the Recycle Coach app.
