Are you a Kroger shopper? Did you know Kroger will donate a portion of what you spend to help the Senior Community Center? All you need to do is call to register your Kroger PLUS card with community rewards! 1-800-KROGERS, Option 3.

Here are the easy steps: 1. Be sure to have your Kroger Plus card ready as they will need the 12 digit-number by the bar code. 2. Just tell them you want your community rewards to go to the Senior Community Center #74560. 3. Let them know that you are unable to do it online and would like them to register you by telephone. That’s it! Thanks for helping out!

If you have been searching for properties to rent, whether it’s for vacation purposes or for long-term, you may need to do a little

more research before taking the ad at face value.

There’s a new scam Gen. Beshear warns Kentuckians about in which someone was involved in a Craigslist online rental scam. A

couple from Fayette County was working with a reputable real estate broker to list their home for sale and the images from the

posting were stolen by a scammer and posted falsely on Craigslist!

The scam has caused people who thought they were renting the 10-acre lake home property to start invading the family’s home thinking they legitimately rented the property! “My office refuses to let con artists steal from Kentucky families who are working hard to make ends meet and pay the rent,” said Beshear. “Thankfully, in this case a reporter reached out to us about the owner’s situation, we were able to help the homeowner get the fraudulent ad removed from Craigslist and prevent other hopeful renters from handing over their money to a con artist.”

Beshear tells us rental property scams spike around the start of college when students are rushing to find place to live and are

more susceptible to scams in their haste. Beshear says property scammers typically continue their scams by just getting more

pictures and doing it again so in order to protect yourself, here are some tips:

• Contact the website owner and report the listing as a scam and ask it to be removed.

• Gather as much information from the person who interacted with the scammer.

• Take screenshots of the postings because they change quickly.

• Report it to Beshear’s Office of Consumer Protection.

Renters … keep an eye out for:

• Prices that are too good to be true.

• Property owners who cannot show their property in person.

• Stories designed for you to feel sorry for or have sympathy for the owner.

• A request to wire money for rent or a deposit or use untraceable methods of payment.

• Research the person company listing the property online without meeting the property owner.

As always, Beshear suggests you stay ahead of scammers by signing up for his office’s Scam Alerts. To enroll text the words KYOAG Scam to GOV-311 (468-311) or online at ag.ky.gov/scams and select text message or email alert.
