BBB warns about sweepstakes scam that uses the organizations’ name

News

August 27th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

Officials with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) serving Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas  and Southwest Iowa is warning area residents about another sweepstakes scam.  A senior consumer from Wausa, NE.,  reported receiving a phone call informing him that he had won $450,000 through the American Family Network. But before funds are made available, the caller told him he would have to pay $4,500 in advance “due to the government’s ‘Patriot Act’ that requires recipients of large amounts of money to pay 1%.”  When the consumer said he did not have the money, another person called later to tell him they got a $3,000 loan for him and he would only have to send a cashier’s check for $1,500 to receive the $450,000 prize.

When the consumer did not send the requested funds, he received several calls from an “attorney” from Las Vegas and his “secretary” claiming that they represented American Family Network and tried to convince him to pay the $1,500. The man told the “attorney” that that he had contacted the Better Business Bureau and was informed that he should not have to pay anything to collect a sweepstakes prize. When asked, the consumer gave him the phone number of the BBB in Omaha. The “attorney” assured him that he would have someone from the BBB call him.

Shortly after, the man received a call from “Linda Brown” at the BBB. Brown spoke with a Jamaican accent, but the caller ID indicated that the call came from 402-391-7612, the BBB’s main phone number. When questioned, Brown stated that she was located at the address of the BBB in Omaha and continued to try to get him to agree to send the $1,500. Instead, he called the BBB and spoke with a real BBB staff person who confirmed that there was no Linda Brown employed at the BBB.

BBB President Jim Hegarty stated, “The Better Business Bureau has absolutely no affiliation with this fraudulent operation. I advise consumers to be extremely leery of letters, faxes, emails or phone calls telling them they’ve won prizes, lotteries or sweepstakes. Remember, phone numbers can deceive.” He says “Many of these calls come from boiler rooms in Jamaica, and anyone playing along with them guarantees the only real winners will be the scammers.”

If you get a call telling you that you are a winner, BBB recommends that you look for these red flagsLottery tickets must be purchased. Sweepstakes usually involve application paperwork that you have completed; Don’t pay any money to collect supposed sweepstakes winnings. If you have to pay to collect your winnings, you’re not winning – you’re buying. Legitimate sweepstakes don’t require you to pay “insurance,” “taxes” or “shipping and handling charges” to collect your prize; Hold on to your money!  Scammers pressure people to wire money through commercial money transfer companies because wiring money is the same as sending cash. When the money’s gone, there’s very little chance of recovery. Likewise, resist any push from the caller to send a check or money order by overnight delivery or courier. Con artists recommend these services so they can get their hands on your money before you realize you’ve been cheated; A lottery application or win announcement comes via telephone or mail from outside the country; The letter, fax or email is full of grammatical and spelling errors; or, the caller is pressuring you for personal information.

August 27th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

A Red Oak man was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $1,000 bond after he was tased and arrested following a traffic stop at around 10:20-p.m., Monday. 28-year old Devon Michael Wheat faces charges of Eluding a pursuing law enforcement vehicle and Interference with Official Acts, both of which are Serious Misdemeanors.

Red Oak Police report when an officer attempted to stop a 2001 Chevy 1500 pickup at the intersection of south Broadway and Park Avenue, the vehicle turned eastbound and failed to stop. When it finally pulled over at the intersection of south 4th and Park Avenue, the driver, identified as Wheat, got out and allegedly became very agitated with and hostile toward, the officers.

Police say they advised Wheat to return to his pickup and sit down, but he allegedly continued to be aggressive and non-compliant. Officers deployed an X-26 Taser in an effort to get the man under control. The result was Wheat being taken into custody. Montgomery County Sheriff’s deputies assisted Red Oak Police during the incident.

August 27th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

(Updated 7-a.m., with area farm info.)

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa has recognized more than 430 generational farms in the state this year. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey says 365 century farms and 67 heritage farms were recently recognized at the Iowa State Fair. The century and heritage farm program celebrates families that have owned at least 40 acres for 100 years and 150 years.

Among the farms recognized during the fair are the following….

(County/Owner/City or area/year established):

Adair: Betty Beaman, near Stuart, 1913; Carolyn (Doud) Boss, Stuart, 1913; Leslie Earl Buck, Greenfield, 1899; Sara Crook, Orient, 1883; Phyllis E. Hanke, Fontanelle, 1913; Sharon & Kieth Mensing, Orient, 1912.  Adams: James Pete Roberts, Corning, 1910; Harold E. Walter, Nodaway, 1898. Audubon: Larry & Connie Ahrendsen, Manning; 1911; Lousie C. Duvall, Audubon, 1904; Lovila Hansen, Fiscus, 1911; Brian J. Klocke, Dedham, 1913. Cass: Duane & Lois Weppler, Lewis, 1902. Guthrie: James & Beverly Arganbright, Panora, 1907; Douglas G. Bruce, Yale, 1871; Jean Couperus, Yale, 1909; Danny & LaRayne Deardorff, Yale, 1908; William E. Potter, Menlo, 1913. Montgomery: Mark & Nancy Lindgren, Stanton, 1913. Pottawattamie: J. Bernie & Norma Bolton, Oakland, 1911; Jack Drake, Walnut, 1909; Bernice L. Hansen, Crescent, 1913. Shelby:Wayne & Lois Petersen, Harlan, 1913.

Northey says the program’s recipients are a testament to the values of land stewardship, hard work, patience, dedication and perseverance. More than 17,850 farms across Iowa have been recognized as century farms since 1976, and 650 farms have been recognized as heritage farms since 2006.

Two GOP candidates for US Senate support gov’t shutdown over ObamaCare

News

August 27th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

Two of the five Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate have signed a pledge supporting “full repeal” of the president’s Affordable Care Act and they promise to vote against any bill that “provides funding to implement or enforce any part of it.” Matt Whitaker says if elected, he’ll join the “new movement” two rookie Republican senators have launched to “defund” ObamaCare. “We have forces in this country that very clearly want us to be a social democracy like we have seen in Europe where if we just spend a little more money on a problem or come up with an omnibus solution for all our problems, then all of our problems will be taken care of,” Whitaker says. “It doesn’t work. History shows us it doesn’t work.”

Whitaker, a former U.S. Attorney, was the Republican Party’s 2002 nominee for Treasurer. Sam Clovis is the other 2014 G-O-P candidate for the U.S. Senate who has signed the pledge to “defund” ObamaCare.  “You must have courage to go to the floor of the senate and stand there and look (Senate Democratic Leader) Harry Reid and (Senate GOP Leader) Mitch McConnell in the eye and say, ‘No more,'” Clovis says, “‘If this is not in the interest of the people of the United States, it shall not happen on my watch.'” Clovis has taken a sabbatical from his post at Morningside College and quit his job as a talk show host on a Sioux City radio station to run for the senate.

None of the three other Republican candidates for the U.S. Senate have signed the pledge to defund ObamaCare. David Young, former chief of staff to Senator Chuck Grassley, says he has not heard of it. Joni Ernst, a state senator from Red Oak, says the group of Republicans in congress threatening a government shutdown over ObamaCare this fall need to be sure they have the votes or failure could put all Republican candidates at “risk” in 2014. “I’m really tired of the back and forth and Republicans going after Republicans,” Ernst says. “We need to work out our differences and then be unified, so if it’s going to happen, it needs to be a unified voice and they need to explain what the end game is.”

Scott Schaben, a former soldier and car salesman from Ames, joined the race last week. Mark Jacobs, a retired utility company executive, has formed an exploratory committee, but is not actively campaigning with the five other Republicans who are “officially” in the race. Iowa Congressman Steve King is among a group of 80 House Republicans who have signaled support for the effort to threaten a government shutdown this fall in order to stop implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Tom Latham, Iowa’s other Republican congressman, did not sign the letter.
