Summary
A participant reported an influx of potentially AI-driven scam calls to the community line, and staff reminded residents how to get official information and that staff can make multiple outreach attempts.
A meeting participant reported a recent rise in scam calls targeting the community telephone line, saying she posted a video about the issue on Facebook and the village website and advised residents to reach the office by phone or official email for confirmation.
The Chair cautioned that a single phone call claiming to provide 30 minutes' notice should not be treated as the only or first notification, and reminded attendees that staff can make multiple attempts to reach residents with important messages.
