Think twice before you message state customer service accounts are
13:09
targeting social media users. By Jane Recline, April twenty third,
13:14
twenty twenty five. The Better Business Bureau is reminding consumers
13:18
to use extra caution when publicly posting on social media
13:22
to resolve an issue with a business with imposter scams
13:25
on the rise. Frosters are creating state customer support accounts,
13:30
including for BBB. The target users seeking business resolutions. How
13:35
the scam works. You log onto your social media account
13:38
to post about an issue with a business's product or service.
13:41
Hoping for a quick resolution, You tag the business and
13:44
a wait a response. In a few minutes, you notice
13:47
a reply to your posts from an account that appears
13:49
to be for the business's customer support team. You may
13:53
even notice multiple responses from several different customer support accounts,
13:57
each claiming they can help you resolve the issue if
14:00
you direct message or DM them with all the details,
14:03
including your personal information like your phone number. In reality,
14:07
the customer support account is fake. If you message one
14:11
of these accounts instead of resolving the issue with the
14:13
business as you anticipated, you may end up with a
14:16
bigger headache after handing over your personal or financial information
14:19
to a scammer. How to avoid customer support imposter scams.
14:24
Look at the customer supports account profile. Most imposter accounts
14:28
were recently created to attempt to fool customers. Check to
14:32
see how well the account has been active and how
14:34
many friends or followers it has. Real customer support accounts
14:38
typically have a long history and have many followers. Remember
14:43
verification is now a paid service, so thoroughly inspect the
14:46
account before you act. Telltale signs of a fake account
14:50
include selling or grammar errors, stock image profile pictures, and
14:54
social media handles that look illegitimate. Use caution if you
14:59
receive multiple vers responses. If you reach out to a
15:01
business publicly on social media and receive several responses from
15:05
multiple Quote Customer Service accounts, take that as a major
15:09
red flag. Do your due diligence and check whether the
15:12
business's real customer service account responded. If the account's look fake,
15:17
ignore them. Don't fall for fake account recovery services. If
15:22
the issue but you're looking to resolve with a business
15:25
involves recovering a log in or account, watch out for
15:28
fake account recovery services responding to your post. You should
15:32
never have to pay to recover your accounts. Never provide
15:36
personal or financial information to a stranger. If an account
15:39
your messaging starts asking for your personal or financial information
15:43
that has nothing to do with the issue at hand,
15:46
stop communication with them. Don't click any links that are
15:49
sent to you. If the Quote Customer Support agent sends
15:53
you a link to a website to resolve your issue,
15:56
think twice before clicking. Scammers are easily able to make
16:00
fake websites or URLs that look legitimate that are actually
16:04
created to steal your information or install malware on your device.
16:08
Refrain from downloading attachments to when in doubt, stop communication
16:13
and contact customer service on your own. If you're questioning
16:17
who you're messaging on social media, your best bet is
16:20
to go to the business's real website and find our
16:23
customer support contact information there. Even if social media is
16:27
your preferred method of communication, calling the business may be
16:31
the safer route. If you've seen or experienced the scam,
16:35
help one others by reporting it to the BBB Scam

21:30
celebrates first anniversary by Jane reed Klein. From social worker
21:35
to restaurant tour Jennifer Burton followed her dream and opened
21:39
her restaurant, The Hungry Heifer in Maxville in April of
21:43
twenty twenty four. One year later, Burton looks back on
21:47
our first year of business and all it took to
21:50
get here. The Hungry Heifer offers a simple menu and
21:53
daily specials. Located behind the Maxville Community Center, the restaurant
21:58
is open for lunch and dinner Wednesday through Friday. Quote
22:01
it's off the beaten paths, said Burton's father, Gary Carney,
22:04
but we're doing okay. End of quote. Quote traffic has
22:08
exceeded expectations, Burton said, I expected it to be slow.
22:12
There is nothing to come to Mackville for, like groceries
22:16
or doctor's offices. Many are coming specifically for us. I
22:20
banked on downtime to take care of paperwork, but that
22:23
doesn't often happen. End of quote. Burton said there is
22:26
no pattern yet to the traffic at the restaurant, and
22:28
it is hard to anticipate how much food is needed.
22:32
Burton admitted that between the time she put into the
22:34
project into the Worse Than twenty twenty one until now,
22:37
there were times when she wanted to throw in the
22:39
towel quote, but I'm glad I didn't, she said. Quote
22:43
It's a lot of work, but very rewarding, and we
22:45
are surviving. End of quote. Burton added. Burton began working
22:49
toward her dream of the Hungry Heifer by preparing and
22:52
delivering meals to homebound residents in the Mackville community. Quote.
22:56
I'm a social worker by trade, Burton said. I worked
22:59
for seat for almost nine years in Nelson and Mercer Counties.
23:03
It got the best of me. It was draining. I
23:05
missed almost the first two years of my oldest son's life.
23:08
I missed all of his milestone she added. I decided
23:12
to leave and I went to a program that helps
23:14
adults with disabilities, and I was there for five years.
23:17
End of quote. Burton said she loved helping people as
23:20
a social work, but then COVID changed everything. Quote. I
23:25
was having to work from home, which was good, but
23:27
it was bad because I wasn't engaging with the participants,
23:29
she explained. And during that time I was working at home,
23:33
you had the cooking aspect, and the days that I
23:35
was actually working really hard. I forgot to lay something
23:38
out to fall for dinner. Oh well, I have to
23:40
go grab something, but there is no place to go
23:43
grab anything without getting in your car and driving at
23:46
least twenty minutes or more to go get something to eat.
23:49
With that, I started thinking about all the shut ins
23:52
we have around. I thought, why not make food and
23:54
take to them? So my mom, my aunt, and myself
23:56
started making meals. We would make about four meals a
23:59
week that we could take to them. From there, I
24:03
decided I could do this. I could do this for
24:05
money and not just spending all my money feeding everybody.
24:08
So my husband and I started talking about it. I
24:10
made up a business plan, made up a menu, and
24:13
I thought, I will just continue working until something worked out,
24:16
but in the meantime, I will continue to plan. I
24:19
finally decided it's time, so I quit my public jobs.
24:22
I was focusing on building the plan and finding the
24:25
resources to do it. End of quote. Burton got a
24:28
huge boost when the Maxville Community Development Board asked if
24:31
she would consider cooking for the Maxville Boosters. Quote. I said,
24:36
of course, that will help me get my name out,
24:38
Burton said. But then the center closed again for COVID.
24:41
People in the community asked when we were going to
24:43
open again, and if I would consider doing a carry out. Well,
24:47
of course, that helps me even more to get my
24:49
name out for a restaurant. So I started doing carryout,
24:52
just doing one day a week end of quote. Burton
24:56
purchased land and hired a contractor to break around and
24:59
begin building in the summer of twenty twenty two, with
25:02
plans to open that summer. Changing health and building codes
25:05
delayed the project again and again Burton was finally able
25:09
to open her dream in April of twenty twenty four,
25:12
two years after breaking ground. Quote. I have been very
25:16
blessed with this. God has provided for me to be
25:19
able to do it and still pay all my bills,
25:21
she said. I get help from family, aunts, niece's cousins,
25:24
and the support from the community has been astronomical. I
25:28
expected a little support, but I never expected to have
25:31
as much support as I have had. All my regulars
25:34
mean so much. It gives you joy to see somebody
25:37
enjoy something you've made for them. End of quote. Burton
25:40
added The simple joys of a clover plant by Jane Recline,
25:46
April twenty third, twenty twenty five. When I was growing up,
25:50
and the spread of clover leaves and their white flowers
25:53
across our lawn announced that spring had actually arrived. We
25:57
loved to roll in it, smiff it, and make necklaces
25:59
and bad from the flowers with their long stems. When
26:02
Easter arrived, my mother would hide colored eggs in the
26:05
clover for our neighborhood Easter account and how terrible it
26:09
was for us kids when our dad would come alone
26:11
with the lawnmower and level it. All Those little spiked
26:14
flowers are set on three leaves usually and to find
26:18
four horses considered lucky. The Guinness Book of Records tells
26:22
us of fifty six tiny leavestm on one stem in
26:25
two thousand and nine. Clover is often cultivated for fodder
26:29
for livestock, and as it is one of the main
26:31
nectar sources for honeybees, those farmers often rely on nearby
26:36
beekeepers for pollination of their other crops. I suppose that
26:41
from Saint Patrick using the three leaves on one stem
26:44
to symbolize the trinity, and the peaceful gens of contented
26:47
cows munching on it in field gave the expression quote
26:51
living the life of clover. So their beauty, aroma symbolism,
26:56
and source of luck, fodder and honey all make those
26:59
little quote insignificant stream plants actually quite special. And one
27:07
correction on that that was not by Jane Recline, that
27:11
was by Sister Joel Goobler from Breath of Ecology Centerdel.
27:18
Eighty nine Ensuring water quality by streamlining state and federal
27:22
regulation by Kim King's state representative. Each legislative session, a
27:27
few bills draw significant public and media attention. One such
27:31
bill was this year was a SENEBIL eighty nine, which
27:34
was motivated by a desire to streamline state and federal
27:37
water protection regulations to make them easier to follow, but
27:41
initially raise concern that it would create loopholes that endangered
27:45
protections for Kentucky's groundwater. This concludes excerpts from recent editions
