Scammers are getting more clever all the time! If you get an email from someone identifying themselves as Chris Waugh (or anyone else you know) and asks you to send a gift card, here are three things to do:

  1. Check out the return email address. If it says [email protected], it’s not me.
  2. Know that I will never ask you for money, a gift card, personal information, and the like.
  3. If you want to verify it’s a scam, email me at the address you know is mine and ask me!

Don’t let these scammers scam you!

𝐃𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐋𝐀𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐘, 𝐎𝐫𝐞. – A 43-year-old Sutherlin woman has been rescued from the wilderness area outside of Reedsport. Mandy Greer was picking mushrooms in the vicinity of Camp Creek Road east of Loon Lake on Tuesday afternoon. She and her significant other had only planned to be out for a few hours. Just before 5 pm Tuesday, October 29th, 9-1-1 dispatchers received a call from her companion advising they had split up while picking mushrooms, and Greer hadn’t returned to their shared vehicle as planned. Deputies and Search and Rescue responded and spent several hours searching for Greer in response to this report. Search efforts included ground, fixed wing aircraft and drone work. A drone operator identified potential heat signatures, but searchers did not locate Greer. Efforts were paused in the early morning hours but resumed Wednesday morning. On Wednesday, Douglas County Search and Rescue received resources from the Jackson County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue unit to assist in search efforts which resumed at 7:00 am. At approximately 9:15 am, a deputy was able to make voice contact with Greer who responded to the deputy's siren sound sweep. Searchers learned Greer was injured and would need assistance in extracting from the forest. When rescuers located Greer, it was determined she had suffered a non-life-threatening injury, was cold and wet. Rescuers provided first aid, food and hot tea before assisting Greer to the roadway where she was transferred to the care of EMS providers. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office was assisted by Douglas County Search and Rescue, Jackson County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue, Oregon State Police Aircraft Unit, Sutherlin Police, and Umpqua Valley Ambulance.Photos from Douglas County Sheriff's Office's post
