KXCR’s 90.7 FM’s Summer
FunFolkFest introduces three
young performers to Florence
Wednesday, July 15, at the
Florence Unitarian Universalist
Fellowship, Highway 101 and
Heceta Beach Road, at 7 p.m.
Amy Sue Berlin, Dana
Louise Idlet and John Craigie
bring the vibrancy of youth to
the stage.
Berlin knew she wanted to
live in a warmer place. When
the time came, she moved to
Austin, Texas. One day she
picked up a guitar and started
to listen to the words coming to
her from somewhere. Berlin
found a pen and never put it
down as lyrics seem to flow
freely out of her, she says.
With new confidence to fol-
low the creative life as a musi-
cian, she’s found a path still
traveled by her mother, the
loved and respected folk singer
and songwriter, Anne Feeney.
“I am thrilled to be hitting
the road with my dear friend
Dana Louise, based out of
Fayetteville, Ark. We are both
children of professional folk
musicians, and neither of us

began writing or playing
until a couple of years ago,”
said Berlin.
“Now we are hooked and
taking our music on the
road. We both play in bands
in our respective cities, but
we decided to do this tour
on our own,” Berlin contin-
ues. “We’ll also be doing a
good portion of the shows
with our good friend, John
Craigie. We both fell in love
with his incredible story-
telling and his beautiful
songs at the Folk Alliance
Conference in Kansas City.”
Although their music
projects have very different
sounds, the girls share
an honest, playful, truthful
message, both perform-
ing with wide eyes and
smiles.
When these three get
together on stage there is an
undeniable electric charge
that fills the room, connect-
ing everyone.
The concert is free but
donations are welcomed.

Cybercriminals don’t just
send fraudulent email mes-
sages and set up fake websites.
They might also call on the
telephone and claim to be
from Microsoft. They might
offer to help solve computer
problems or sell a software
license.
Once they have access to
your computer, they can do the
following:
• Trick you into installing
malicious software that could
capture sensitive data, such as
online banking user names and
passwords. They might also

then charge you to remove this
software.
• Convince you to visit
legitimate websites to down-
load software that will allow
them to take control of your
computer remotely and adjust
settings to leave your comput-
er vulnerable.
• Request credit card infor-
mation so they can bill you for
phony services.
• Direct you to fraudulent
websites and ask you to enter
credit card and other personal
or financial information there.
Neither Microsoft nor its
partners make unsolicited
phone calls (also known as
cold calls) to charge you for
computer security or software
fixes.
Telephone tech support
scams: What you need to
know
Cybercriminals often use
publicly available phone
directories, so they might
know your name and other
personal information when
they call you.
They might even guess what
operating system you’re using.
Once they’ve gained your
trust, they might ask for your
user name and password or
ask you to go to a legitimate
website to install software that
will let them access your com-
puter to fix it. Once you do
this, your computer and your
personal information are vul-
nerable.

What to do if you already
gave information to a tech
support person
If you think that you might
have downloaded malware
from a phone tech support
scam website or allowed a
cybercriminal
to
access
your computer, take these
steps:
• Change your computer’s
password, change the pass-
word on your main email
account, and change the pass-
word for any financial
accounts, especially your bank
and credit card.
Scan your computer with
the Microsoft Safety Scanner
to find out if you have mal-
ware installed on your com-
puter.
Install Microsoft Security
Essentials, a free Microsoft
program. If someone calls you
to install this product and then
charge you for it, this is also a
scam.

report it to your local authori-
ties.
