Scam switches your bank deposit to a con artist's account

Hoax letters and calls are targeting Kentuckians' Social Security and veteran benefits

By Terry Sebastian/Crystal Staley

Frankfort, KY - Attorney General Andy Beshear is warning senior citizens and military veterans to be wary of a new scam that attempts to switch their monthly bank deposit to a con artist's bank account.

The scam begins by someone pretending to be an employee of a bank, the Social Security Administration or a veteran organization, and claims the victim's benefit deposit must be 'reverified' following 'suspicious activity.' Once the victim provides their personal, banking and account login information, the scammer has what they need to steal the victim's identity and make unauthorized direct deposit changes.

Remembering Ed Waggener: Rest in peace, Ed

By Dave Rosenbaum

For several years I have started my day by checking on the latest from Ed Waggener. Everything that was important to know about events in Adair.

So few of us remain who recall when a sack of Dukes cost a nickel, when Carl Breeding vainly tried to teach us Julius Caesar and Old Yeller had an extended play at the Rialto Theater. I will so much miss accounts of Old Rob, the giant grasshoppers and the Blue Ribbon Bear Board.

Rest in peace Ed Waggener. --Dave

Remembering Ed Waggener: Kentucky Color

By Billy Joe Fudge

Ed and I spoke often, disagreed very little, laughed a lot, reminisced a lot, pontificated about everything and did I mention that we laughed a lot?

Columbia is experiencing a renaissance, an awakening. Is this a renaissance in the purest sense; maybe not? Nevertheless, Columbia is now being reborn.

This awakening, this rebirth, did not just appear like a cloud on a clear day. Culture does not just turn on a dime of its own accord. No, for culture to be reborn it must be nurtured in the womb, nursed in its infancy and spoon fed the finest food in its youth.

Is any one man or woman singularly responsible for this rebirth? No, because as John Donne wrote in the 16th century, "No man is an island" and that is almost certainly true. In light of this truth when we consider that a fire needs fuel to burn and air to sustain the burn, there will never be fire without a catalyst, heat.

I believe that although Ed may not have been the fuel or the air, he was almost certainly the heat which sparked Columbia's rebirth.
