DATA PRIVACY Unfortunately, every year thousands of Oregonians fall victim to online criminals who disguise themselves as established organizations or businesses. Internet scams continue to evolve and become harder to recognize. The term cyber-criminal, generally refers to someone using internet services or software to take advantage of victims. Cyber-criminals and other scammers have become quite skilled in getting you to provide your personal information in a variety of ways. Some scammers are selling “official merchandise” while others ask you to pay fees urgently to avoid serious consequences (which are not real). Another popular scam is the click-bait link or file attachment that collects your data by inviting you to open it from a message such as “I think you know this person that was in this car accident” or “Your account has been suspended, click here to reset your password”. But of course, when you click these links you get viruses or are directed to give your personal information to “reset your account” or login. When in doubt don’t open the link, instead open a new browser and pull up the organization’s official website or call their official number. Here are a few tips to keep you safer from scams and cybercrimes: • Use caution, especially with those you are not familiar with. o When you receive uninvited contacts from people or businesses, whether it's over the phone, by mail, email, in person, or on social media, always consider the possibility that the interaction may be a scam. o Remember to call or log on to the organization’s real website to verify the information you’ve been given is accurate. • Protect your passwords and personal information. o Always use password protection. o Don’t share account or password information with others. o Update security software and back up content regularly. o Protect your WiFi network with a password. o Avoid using public computers or WiFi hotspots to access online banking or to provide personal information for services. • Ignore unfamiliar attachments or links. o Don’t click on links, open attachments, attempt to unsubscribe, or call any telephone number listed in suspicious messages. o Do NOT give any money, credit card info, or other personal details. o When in doubt, look up the organization’s website or phone number and contact them directly. If you have information about or have fallen victim to a scam, please contact the Oregon Attorney General's Consumer Hotline at 1-877-877-9392 or online at www.oregonconsumer.gov Featured News by Lincoln County Sheriff

Sutherlin Rotary: Early Morning Energy, Massive Impact District Governor Chris Waugh visited the Sutherlin Rotary Club on Thursday, February 19th—at 7 am! Despite the early hour, he found a light-filled meeting space proudly branded with Rotary and large enough to stage their annual auction donations. The club smartly prioritizes youth—they started with FFA student reports so kids could get to school. 60% of the freshman class participates in FFA, building public speaking and parliamentary procedure skills. Now, here's the jaw-dropper: this 32-member club raises over $100,000 annually for scholarships through their fundraiser! Want to know their secret? They're facilitating a breakout session at the District Conference in May. Don't miss it! Post-meeting, Governor Waugh helped club leaders enter goals into MyRotary. They're well on their way to meeting their membership target. Then AG Scott Hendy (a Wildlife Safari veterinarian) treated the Governor to a private tour, offering unique behind-the-scenes insights.

3/4/26 - LCSO Case 26-0939 Lane County Sheriff’s deputies arrest several in Florence search warrant operation On March 4th at 7 a.m., deputies assigned to the Lane County Sheriff’s Special Response Team (SRT), detectives, the West Lane district deputy, Florence Police officers and an Oregon State Trooper served a search warrant at a residence in the 2200 block of 12th Street in Florence.
