iTunes scam surfaces The OPP issued a warning for music lovers who like to download their favourite songs, to beware of an iTunes gift card scam. The con artist sends notices demanding payment for iTunes gift card purchases, and in most cases either threatens to report the victim to police or, in one case, will pretend to be a Canada Revenue agent claiming the victim owes “back taxes” on purchases.The scammer will also tell the victim to buy and activate iTune cards and then provide the activation codes as a form of payment to avoid further charges. A variation of the scam may involve the con artist pretending to be a grandchild or some other relative in trouble, and asking for payment by iTunes cards as the method to provide either bail or payments for legal or medical fees.The usual target for this version is a grandparent. – Gregg Chamberlain
Senior housing needs The United Counties of Prescott & Russell council (UCPR) will ask its social services committee to review results of the latest sta- tistical report on subsidized housing, from the UCPR social services department. Focus of the review will be on the waiting lists for subsidized housing aid in Prescott-Russell with attention to the growing number of senior residents looking for social housing. Hawkes- bury mayor Jeanne Charlebois noted that the public needs to be aware that Prescott- Russell has a growing population of seniors in need of subsidized housing. Mayor Charlebois suggested that the UCPR look at making a presentation on the issue to either the pro- vincial government or to the Association of Municipalities of Ontario. – Gregg Chamberlain
