Internet and Email Scams
By Chief McKinstry – Lady Lake PD
As the Chief of Police for the Town of Lady Lake I am often asked, “What can I do to stop folks from becoming a victim of a scam?” I can tell you the most important thing we all can do is pass the following information along to our friends, family and co-workers so they are aware of these common scams and prevent them from becoming a potential target.

Pictured is a group of business people that attended January’s “Nothing but Networking Business Lunch”. It is put on by the Lady Lake Chamber and usually some 50 business people attend. This one was held at the Waterfront Inn. We network from 11:30 to 12, have lunch and talk during lunch, with the people at our tables and learn more about each other’s businesses. I have met some great people at these networking events.
Pictured are some of the visitors in one of the aisles of Art in the Park, an annual free event. There were over 70 vendors showing their Arts and Crafts to the crowds of people attending. Some of the Crafts were necklaces, earrings, broaches and scarves, etc. Many art exhibitors showed their talents and they are talented. The event was held at the Log Cabin Lady Lake Florida. A great time was had by all.
