Maryland State Police Warning Public about Telephone Scams
Maryland State Police Warning Public about Telephone Scams
#ALERT Maryland State
Police is warning the public regarding several recently reported phone scams.
As a reminder, never give your personal information out over the phone. https://www.facebook.com/MarylandStatePolice/photos/a.155263044494316/2224530824234184/?type=3&theater

According to a release from the Maryland State Police on February
7, 2019
(PIKESVILLE, Md.) —
Maryland State Police are warning the public about a reported telephone scam in
which the caller cloned a state police number and requested personal
information from people as part of a criminal investigation.
A woman called the
Maryland State Police on Thursday morning and reported she had received a call
in which the caller ID on her phone showed “Maryland State Government” and the
number 301-475-8955, which is the number for the Maryland State Police
Leonardtown Barrack. When she answered the call, the person on the other end
told her she was a suspect in a drug trafficking investigation and that she
needed to provide them her Social Security number and other identifying
personal information.
This is just one of
several phone scams recently reported to Maryland State Police. The Salisbury
Barrack reported that some of the scams reported include victims receiving
telephone calls where they are threatened with arrest or the continued
detention of family members if they do not provide money, account numbers or
purchase a re-loadable gift or credit cards.
Another telephone scam
includes the victim being called by a representative of the Internal Revenue
Service and threatened in the same fashion. The Salisbury Barrack reported that
other victims have had their computers infected with a computer virus and were
prompted to take immediate action in order to salvage the computer, which
included purchasing up to $2,000 in gift cards to pay the company to correct
the issue.
This came after the
Maryland State Police Cumberland Barrack was recently inundated with numerous
telephone calls regarding a scam in which a man or woman claiming to be from
the Social Security Administration requested information and threatened to have
the police respond to their address to arrest them.
These scammers are
using scare tactics and sophisticated technology to attempt to take advantage
of the public. If you are a senior citizen, or have a family member that is a
senior citizen, please be aware and ensure they are aware of these scams so
they do not fall victim to them.
The Maryland State
Police, along with government agencies like the Social Security Administration
or the Internal Revenue Service, would never solicit such information or
services over the phone from any citizen. Never give any personal information
over the phone, and only allow a qualified reputable computer technician the
ability to repair your computer should it become infected with a virus. Many of
these telephone scams are disguising themselves by utilizing local telephone
number prefixes.
Anyone who receives
such a phone call should hang up and then contact their local state police
barrack. Callers may remain anonymous.

Marine, local business owner Charles Zincon, 93, of Westminster
Marine, local business owner Charles Zincon, 93, of WestminsterCharles Zincon, a quiet community leader who owned Modern Ideal Laundry and Dry Cleaners for 40-years, passed away on January 12, 2019
By Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 Chaplain Kevin Dayhoff
February 7, 2019
About a month ago, a fellow Marine, Charles Zincon, a quiet community leader, who worked hard and tirelessly and helped make Westminster what it is today – passed away on January 12, 2019 at the age of 93. He was born in Tannery on September 22, 1925.
He attended Westminster High School before he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. He served in the Pacific Theater throughout World War II. After returning home, he and his late wife owned Modern Ideal Laundry and Dry Cleaners on East Green Street in Westminster, for over 40-years.Mr. Zincon was awesome people. A little known fact – he was the bartender at my wedding reception.
He was not a sports star or a Hollywood actor. However, he was a big deal. He a local community business owner, who got up every day and worked about a 12-hour day, contributed to his community, his local church and local civic organizations.
He did not make a fuss. He was not one to boast or draw attention to himself. He died with little notice from the community. Many folks these days are not aware of his quiet contributions to our community.
His death was not the topic of headlines in the newspaper, or a segment on the local television news. There was little mention of his passing on social media.
Athletes and movie stars have never been my heroes. I always felt that such hero worship was misplaced, displaced, and inappropriate.
I always felt such Hollywood and sports hero worship sent the wrong message to our children and demonstrated a wrong set of values for our community. My heroes have always been local business owners, teachers, soldiers, police officers, fire fighters, and public servants.
As a native of Westminster and an avid amateur historian, I realized as a child that one could not study the history of accomplishment for a city such as Westminster without first understanding the history of leadership that this community has been provided by local business owners, teachers, soldiers, police officers, fire fighters, and public servants.
We all belong to God and to Him we shall return.
Rest in peace brother, your watch is over we will take it from here, you duty is done here, God has your place in heaven. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13+++++++++++++
Obituary for Charles L. Zincon, Jr.
Charles L. Zincon Jr. “Junior,” 93, of Westminster passed away peacefully on Saturday, January 12, 2019 in Wellspring Village at Brightview surrounded by family and friends.
He was born on September 22, 1925 in Tannery (Westminster), Maryland, the son of the late Charles Lewis Zincon Sr. and Esther Freberthauser Lockard, brother of the late Eileen Zincon Gill, and the loving and devoted husband of the late Catherine Jane Zincon.
He attended Westminster Senior High School until he enlisted in the Marine Corps. Charles served as a Corporal in the United States Marine Corps in the Pacific Theater during World War II. After his service, he received an honorable discharge.
After his discharge, Charles attended the National Institute of Dry Cleaning. With his brother-in-law, Roy E. Gill Jr., he bought New Ideal Cleaning and Laundry. For over 40 years, he and his late wife owned Modern Ideal Laundry and Dry Cleaners.
Charles was a member of the Door to Virtue Masonic Lodge #46, Life Member of the V.F.W. Molleville Farm Post 467, and American Legion Post 31. He is a past President of the Westminster Optimist, and Parishioner and Council Member of St. John’s Lutheran Church of Westminster.
Surviving are daughter and son-in-law Joyce A. and Michael Dempsey of Westminster, son and daughter-in-law Charles L. Zincon III and Joni Zincon of Westminster.
Grandchildren Kelly Dempsey and partner Chad Brough, Liam Dempsey and wife Casey, Haley Zincon, Macy Zincon; great-grandchildren Devin Andrews, Courtney Andrews, and Kieran Dempsey; nieces Sharon Gill, Melissa Stump, and Mary Armacost; and Brightview Family and Friends.

USDA launches high-speed broadband e-connectivity resource guide

USDA launches high-speed broadband e-connectivity resource guide
PUBLISHED ON February 6, 2019
WASHINGTON — Assistant to the Secretary for Rural Development Anne Hazlett today announced the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has launched a new toolkit to help support the deployment of high-speed broadband e-Connectivity in rural communities.
“High-speed broadband e-Connectivity is becoming more and more essential to doing business, delivering health care, and, for schoolchildren, doing homework in rural communities,” Hazlett said. “This user-friendly tool will help rural customers find the many resources USDA has available to support the expansion and use of e-Connectivity in rural America.”
The e-Connectivity Toolkit (PDF, 4.3 MB) features 27 USDA programs that support broadband deployment. The easy-to-use resource is a simple guide that allows customers to identify their type of e-Connectivity project and locate resources the federal government offers for planning, equipment, construction, research and other e-Connectivity projects. Resources such as grants, loans and technical assistance are available from multiple Mission Areas at USDA, including Rural Development, National Institute of Food and Agriculture, Farm Service Agency, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and Forest Service.
The toolkit highlights examples of how e-Connectivity resources are being used to increase access to broadband services in rural communities. It is free and available to the public online, and can be easily printed for offline use.
USDA’s launch of the e-Connectivity Toolkit closely follows Secretary Sonny Perdue’s unveiling of the ReConnect Program, a pilot program authorized by the Consolidated Budget Act of 2018, to facilitate broadband deployment in rural areas that lack sufficient access to broadband.
In April 2017, President Donald J. Trump established the Interagency Task Force on Agriculture and Rural Prosperity to identify legislative, regulatory and policy changes that could promote agriculture and prosperity in rural communities. In January 2018, Secretary Perdue presented the Task Force’s findings to President Trump. These findings included 31 recommendations to align the federal government with state, local and tribal governments to take advantage of opportunities that exist in rural America. Increasing investments in rural infrastructure is a key recommendation of the task force.
To view the report in its entirety, please view the Report to the President of the United States from the Task Force on Agriculture and Rural Prosperity (PDF, 5.4 MB). In addition, to view the categories of the recommendations, please view the Rural Prosperity infographic (PDF, 190 KB).
USDA Rural Development provides loans and grants to help expand economic opportunities and create jobs in rural areas. This assistance supports infrastructure improvements; business development; housing; community facilities such as schools, public safety and health care; and high-speed internet access in rural areas.
