Check Floating Scam Getting paid with a bogus check is bad enough, but it’s even worse when the check writer cons an online seller into handing over cash as part of the transaction. In the Check Floating Scam, a fraudster seeking to buy an item posted for sale – in a classified or online ad, auction site or other posting – sends a check to the seller, often a senior. The scammer then directs the seller to wire some of the money back, usually because the check was written for more than the sale price. The victim sends the money during the floating period – the time after the check is deposited but before it clears. By the time the victim learns the check is invalid or has bounced, the scammer has already made off with the cash. Here are helpful tips to avoid being a victim of the Check Floating Scam: 1 - When depositing a check, never assume the money is there until the bank says it is. 2 - Don’t give goods to a buyer until a check has cleared. 3 – Never wire funds to someone you don’t know. If you or someone you know has been the victim of a scam, please contact Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office. Phone: (213) 974-3512, TTY: (800) 457-7778 or visit www.da.lacounty.gov. Checklist for Preventing Falls at Home Many falls can be prevented. To reduce the risk of falls at home, all seniors should follow this checklist created by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). FLOOR: Keep small objects such as books or bags off of the floor. Keep telephone cords/electrical wires close to the wall. Avoid using throw rugs, they can become a trip hazard. Make sure there’s no furniture blocking your path from the front door to the living room, bedroom, and kitchen. BEDROOM: Keep a lamp by the bed so that you do not need to walk in the dark to turn on the light. Use a nightlight. Keep a clear path from your bed to the bathroom to prevent falls when using the toilet at night. BATHROOM: If the bathtub is slippery for you, use a non-slip rubber mat. For additional support, use a shower bench when showering. KITCHEN: Keep things that you use often on your lower kitchen cabinets. If you need to reach the top cabinets, ask your caregiver/family to assist you or use a sturdy step stool. Install grab bars in the shower or by the toilet, it needed. For more information, visit the CDC website: www.cdc.gov/steadi/patient.html. Additionally, the Tom Bradley Center nd rd for Healthcare on the 2 floor of Agape Building offers a monthly fall prevention clinic. You can attend every 3 Tuesday of the month from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. 支票騙局 用不好的支票支付是一種糟糕的情況。 但是當編寫支票的騙子欺騙網上賣家交出現金作為交易的一部分時， 情況就更糟了。 在支票騙局中，詐騙者通常會通過報紙廣告或在線廣告搜索某些東西。 然後他將支票寄給賣方，通常是一個 老人。然後這個騙子告訴賣家寄回一些錢，通常是因為支票的價格高於銷售價格。 賣家然後成為受害者。因為受害者在等待期間送錢。等待期限是支票存入後的時間，但這筆錢未存入銀行賬 戶。 當受害者發現支票無效時，騙子已經拿走了受害者送來的錢。 這裡有一些有用的提示，以避免成為支票騙局的受害者。1)當您存入支票時，請不要假設這筆錢在您的銀行 賬戶中，直到銀行核實為止。2)在錢存入銀行賬戶之前，不要向買家提供您銷售的物品。3)不要把錢匯給一 個你不認識的人。 如果您或您認識的人是騙局的受害者，請聯繫洛杉磯郡律師事務所。 電話號碼: 213-974-3512, 電傳打字機電話號碼(TTY): 800-457-7778, 網站: www.da.lacounty.gov 檢查你家的安全 許多摔倒可以預防。 為了減少家中的摔倒，老年人應該按照美國疾病控制與預防中心(CDC)製定的清單。 地上: 在地上不要放置書籍或袋子等小物件。將電話線/電線靠近牆壁。避免使用扔地毯，因為這是一個絆 倒危險。確保沒有任何家具擋住從前門到起居室，臥室和廚房的路徑。 睡房: 在床旁邊放一盞燈，這樣你就不需要在黑暗中走路來打開燈。用夜燈。從床上到浴室做一條清晰的道 路，以防夜間使用廁所時摔倒。 洗手間: 如果浴缸太湿滑，请使用防滑橡胶垫。為了獲得額外的支持，在淋浴時使用淋浴台。 廚房: 把你經常用來做飯的東西放在下面的櫥櫃上。 如果您需要到達頂層櫥櫃，請諮詢您的護理人員/家庭成員以協助您或使用堅固的踏腳凳。 如果您想了解更多信息，請訪問CDC網站：https://www.cdc.gov/steadi/patient.html 另外，辦公樓二樓的診所每月都有一次摔倒預防篩查。 它是每個月的第3個星期二，下午2:00至下午3:00。

Comprobar estafa flotante Pagar con un cheque sin fondos ya es bastante malo, pero es aún peor cuando el escritor de cheques convence a un vendedor en línea para que le entregue efectivo como parte de la transacción. En la estafa flotante de cheques, un estafador que busca comprar un artículo publicado para la venta, en un anuncio clasificado o en línea, sitio de subastas u otra publicación, envía un cheque al vendedor, a menudo un alto cargo. Luego, el estafador ordena al vendedor que devuelva parte del dinero, generalmente porque el cheque fue emitido por un precio superior al precio de venta. La víctima envía el dinero durante el período flotante, el tiempo después de que se deposita el cheque pero antes de que se elimine. En el momento en que la víctima se entera de que el cheque no es válido o ha rebotado, el estafador ya ha realizado el efectivo. Aquí hay consejos útiles para evitar ser víctima de la estafa flotante de cheques: 1 - Al depositar un cheque, nunca suponga que el dinero está allí hasta que el banco lo indique. 2 - No entregue los bienes a un comprador hasta que se haya liquidado un cheque. 3 - Nunca transfiera fondos a alguien que no conoce. Si usted o alguien que conoce ha sido víctima de una estafa, comuníquese con la oficina del Fiscal de Distrito del Condado de Los Ángeles. Teléfono: (213) 974-3512, TTY: (800) 457-7778 o visite www.da.lacounty.gov. Lista de verificación para prevenir caídas en el hogar Muchas caídas se pueden prevenir. Para reducir el riesgo de caídas en el hogar, todos los ancianos deben seguir esta lista de verificación creada por los Centros de Control y Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC). PISO: Mantenga objetos pequeños como libros o bolsas fuera del piso. Mantenga los cables de teléfono/cables eléctricos cerca de la pared. Evite usar tapetes porque es un peligro de tropiezo. Asegúrese de que no haya muebles que bloqueen su camino desde la puerta de entrada a la sala de estar, el dormitorio y la cocina.

DORMITORIO: Mantenga una lámpara junto a la cama para que no tenga que caminar en la oscuridad para encender la luz. Usa una luz de noche Mantenga un camino despejado desde la cama hasta el baño para evitar caídas al usar el baño durante la noche. CUARTO DE BAÑO: Si la bañera es resbaladiza, use una estera de goma antideslizante. Para soporte adicional, use un banco de ducha cuando se bañe. COCINA: mantenga las cosas que usa con frecuencia en los gabinetes de cocina más bajos. Si necesita llegar a los gabinetes superiores, pida a su cuidador / familia que lo ayude o use un taburete para el estudio. Para obtener más información, visite el sitio web de los CDC: www.cdc.gov. Además, el Centro Tom Bradley para la Atención de la Salud en el segundo piso del Edificio Agape ofrece una clínica mensual de prevención de caídas. Puede asistir todos los terceros martes del mes de 2:00 p.m. a 3:00 p.m.
