I just want to tell you about them. My father was outside in front ofhis house in Miami Beach. A young woman approached him and said she was collecting for an organization, something to do with the United Na- tions. My father is so giving -let's just say that all the home- less people in Miami know him by his first CALDWEll name -s 0 he went inside and told his wife to give the woman a check for her organization. As his wife was talking to her, she asked what orga- nization she should make the check out to. Guess what? They do not take checks. The woman ex- plained that they wanted their bank information and would withdraw the money directly from their accoUnt for deposit into their orga- nization's account. They told her to leave. My mother-in-law was looking for a parking spot at the Navarro in Sunny Isles Beach. She noticed a motorcycle about to leave a handicapped space and she drove near the spot to wait. As the biker pulled out, he told my mother-in-law to roll down her window. She did, and he accused her of hitting his motorcycle. She was waiting for the spot, so she was never near his cycle. He asked for her papers, and she wouldn't give them to him. He said he was going to call the police, and she said "good idea." So she waited and wait- ed; he approached her again and said the police were taking too long, that she better stay there and he would come back with the r;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;~1 police. After a while, a ~ , Navarro employee asked o ! what's wrong, she told him • '. .! ·1' and ththinkey: callhed the po~ce. ,We e was trying i to see if my mother-in-law CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI ; would give him money so COURTESY NOTICE i he wouldn't "call" the po- I lice. The biker never came back, and the police, who , came pretty quickly, said ! they never got a call about this. Just when you think you heard it all, here is a scam that came to me from Scambook.com, the online complaint resolution platform: With many people mov- ing during the summer months, scammers are exploiting this confusing time by offering unneces- sary "change of address" services. Third-party com- panies claiming to repre- sent the U.S. Postal Service offer to help consumers register a new residential address, resulting in un- expected monthly charges of $17 to $24. Scambook has received more than 300 complaints about "change of address" sites from consumers across the country, central- ized in Florida, California, Arizona, Oregon, Washing- ton state and Texas. . Individuals are receiving an initial processing charge of $I, followed by unwar- ranted monthly charges for additional services they did not knowingly purchase. Many have also experi- enced difficulty contacting the sites' customer service departments to cancel the unwanted subscriptions. To avoid doing business with these third-party serv- ices during a move, Scam- book recommends con- sumerS only to use the official u.s. Postal Service change of address site by visiting https://movers guide.usps.com. Carmen CaldweU is executive director oj Citi- zens' Crime Watch ofMi- ami-Dade.
