Local law enforcement agencies have seen a rise in parents receiving fraudulent phone calls in which the caller claims their child has been kidnapped and demands money.

If you receive such a call, please do the following:

• If the suspect demands that you stay on the line, text the Granite School District Police Department at (801) 664-2929.
» Provide Dispatch with your name and the name of your child.
» Dispatch will contact the school, and a school administrator or SRO will es**rt your child to the office.
» Dispatch will inform you the status of your child and ask that you respond to the school.

• If the suspect disconnects the call at any time, please contact your local law enforcement agency and GSDPD at (801) 481-7122.

Always think twice before sharing information about your children where it could be found by strangers. For example, avoid posting on social media about where your children go to school or who their teachers are. Ensure that your social media accounts are private.

For my friends in Utah with kids (or grandchildren) under the age of 17... you can put a credit freeze on your children's social security number for free through Transunion. In light of the recent Equifax breach, this may be a good idea, plus saves $10.00. Here is the website: https://cip.utah.gov/

In light of the recent Equifax breach, this article has suggestions for setting a credit freeze on your credit. It will cost between $3-10 per freeze, per credit bureau, depending upon in which state you live, so only do this if you will not be opening new accounts anytime soon. It will not freeze your current accounts, but prevent new accounts from being opened. Next step ensure you have alerts set on your active accounts or cards for notices of unwanted charges. I think a big portion of our outrage should be used to track down the hackers, and use means to reign this in.

Money expert Clark Howard says placing a freeze on your credit reports is the #1 way to protect against identity theft after the Equifax data breach.

Whenever I see hummingbirds, I think of a previous client. Curt loved his home and watching the hummingbirds on his back deck. With growing expenses, he was worried he would need to move. We were able help remove his house payment by using the HECM loan. He told me "I am glad that I can stay in the home I love and still watch my hummingbirds." It's the small things that add to life. Enjoy the article.

Uses of Home Equity Conversion Mortgage...
#2 Buy a new home that better suits needs. No stairs, upkeep, better location, closer to family and option of NO monthly mortgage payments.
I had a couple who wanted to move from their current home. It had once been a great location in which to live, but now it had become "the rough part of town" and had too many repairs. They were able to move to a better location, with less upkeep, no stairs AND... and were able to purchase a home double the price range in which they were originally looking. I loved to see their situation much improved!
