Summary
During public comment the board noted an April 2 information seminar on avoiding fraud, ID theft and scams, to be held at 6 p.m. in Building B at the Polk County Fairgrounds, 520 Pacific Highway, Rickrell.
During the public-comment portion of the March 26 meeting a speaker announced an information seminar about avoiding fraud, credit-card and ID theft and scams to be held on Wednesday, April 2 at 6 p.m. in Building B at the Polk County Fairgrounds, 520 Pacific Highway, Rickrell.
The speaker said the seminar would involve the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, KeyBank and Polk County Fairgrounds and urged residents to attend to learn how to protect themselves against credit-card theft, telephone scams and ID theft. The speaker said the sheriff’s office has received reports recently of callers claiming to be deputies; the seminar is intended to give information to the public on how to recognize and avoid those scams.
The flyer announcing the event was placed on the side table at the meeting and the speaker asked that, if the sheriff’s office posts the event to Facebook, commissioners and staff reshare the post to increase outreach.
This announcement was made during public comment and does not represent a county-funded program or formal item on the meeting agenda; residents seeking confirmation should check the Polk County Sheriff’s Office or Polk County website or social channels for posted event details.
