Can you please wire me $4,700 so I can pay my attorney and come home? Please don’t tell Mom and Dad! I prom ise to pay you back when I get home!” An OSP detective in vestigating one of these cas es found that the imposter will go through newspaper anniversary announcements and obituaries where they may find names of an entire family. Additional research using white pages or In ternet search engines for a phone number leads to a scam phone call. There are several red flags that indicate a scam mer is at work. Be wary of a caller who: -Requests that money be wired in a very short time frame; -Claims to be stuck in a foreign country; -Insists on secrecy; and/or -Gets some personal details wrong. Scammers prey on the emotions of grandparents wanting to help their grand- children. Before wiring money, grandparents should independently call and con firm the whereabouts of their family members. Be highly skeptical o f any phone request for money wires and don’t fall prey to the pressures placed by the caller. Ask personal questions to the callers to confirm their identity, about such things as schools at tended, pet names, presents given or received, or names of other family members. Those who think they have been a victim of the “grandparent scam” should call the Oregon Attorney General Consumer Hotline at 1-877-877-9392. When in doubt, and before you send any money, contact the State Depart ment’s Office of Overseas Citizens Services (OCS) at 1-888-407-4747.

Road usage charge pilot gets underway in Oregon Reprinted from the Dec. 4, 2012 Oregon Wheat News letter About 40 volunteers from around the state began testing the next generation o f a “road usage charge” system this month. Autho rized by the 2011 legislature with HB 2138, the pilot project will test a road us age charge system to ad dress funding gaps caused by a rise in fuel efficiency and a decline in gas tax revenue. Instead of paying the gas tax (automatically added at the pump), pilot participants will pay a “per mile” charge based on the number o f miles they drive. The charge is roughly equal to the amount o f gas tax they would have paid for a vehicle that gets 20 miles to the gallon; most partici pants will be refunded gas u m n ii ‘Fbge Design ■Complete Sites ‘Hosting H eppner G a z e t t e - Tim e« 476 - 922 « ♦ taxes paid during the pilot. “This pilot will offer a peek into a future system where motorists will be re sponsible for choosing how they report their miles, from certified options, and also their account management provider,” explained Jim Whitty, Office of Innova tive Partnerships Manager at the Oregon Department of Transportation. “It’s crit ical that we learn what’s needed to create an open system that can adapt and change as technology and the market change.” “ We are addressing the public’s concern about government involvement in several ways,” he said. “For example, the new concept envisions the state out sourcing system functions to the private sector as an alternative to the govern A felony - unlawful sexual penetration I - victim under 12 years of age, a Class B felony.
