BBB Alert: Avoid an APP attack!

How to avoid app store scams APP scams are becoming more common as reports come into the BBB Scamtracker. From passwords to banking details, you store important personal information on your mobile devices. Unfortunately, scammers are lurking on the app stores of Apple and Google and using various techniques like pop-up ads and emails on the hunt for victims.

Dennis Horton, director of the Rockford Regional Office of the Better Business Bureau, says, “Trusted app stores don’t eliminate the threat of app scams, but they do offer a higher level of protection. You are much more likely to download an app that will send spam messages or expose your phone number if you download it from an unofficial or little-known app store.”

To avoid getting scammed, BBB recommends the following tips when downloading an APP. Only download apps from official app stores.

• Don’t rely solely on a high star rating when deciding to download.

Keep in mind that shady app developers can generate or purchase fake reviews. One telltale sign of a scam is when an app has thousands of five-star reviews with no written comments and hundreds of one-star reviews with negative comments.

App developers may have purchased the good reviews to cover up the bad reviews that expose the app as a fraud. Even written reviews can be purchased, though, which leads us to the next tip.

• Read good and bad reviews.

Scammers can artificially push good reviews to the top of the list by getting fake users to mark them as “helpful.”

They can also pay people to create written reviews claiming the app is

great. Take a closer look at the positive reviewers’ accounts, and ask yourself if they look like they are coming from a real person who actually used the app. And don’t stop after reading a few good reviews. Take the time to check out poor reviews to find out what people didn’t like about the app. All apps will generate a few bad reviews, but if you notice an app has several reviews where users mention they were “scammed” or the app didn’t deliver what it promised to, steer clear.

• Read the app’s privacy policy before you download. Take a few minutes to read the app’s terms of service and privacy policy and take note of what personal information the app will access and how it will use that information. It could be a red flag if the permissions don’t make sense (for example, if a weather radar app says it needs access to your contacts to work).

In addition, any app that doesn’t have a privacy policy is probably not safe to use.

• Make sure you download the real version of any app you look for specifically. One popular tactic scammers use is to create copycat apps to trick people into downloading.

If you are looking for a popular app, keep in mind it may not be the first to appear on the list after you search for it. Look out for similar but notquite-right logos and app developer names that don’t look legitimate. Read the app’s description text carefully, too. Impostor apps often contain descriptions that don’t make sense or spelling and grammatical errors.

• Keep an eye on free trials. Many app store scams start by offering you a free trial. Scammers hope you’ll sign up for a free trial and then forget to cancel. Many scam apps charge for weekly instead of monthly

subscriptions, which can add up quickly, even if you are only charged a few dollars at a time.

Whenever you sign up for a free trial, test it out right away and unsubscribe before you get charged if you don’t plan on using the service.

Both Google and Apple allow you to access all of your subscriptions in a single place, so you don’t have to do any digging to find an “unsubscribe” button that an app developer may have hidden.

• Do regular app housekeeping.

Out-of-date apps are particularly vulnerable to hackers. This is because they may have security issues that haven’t been addressed through updates. If you haven’t used an app in a few months, or you notice an app hasn’t been updated by the developer recently, it’s probably best to delete it.

• Watch out for shady app behavior after you download. If you decide to download an app after reading reviews and the privacy policy, you’ll still want to keep a critical eye on how it works. Asking for unnecessary permissions, disappearing from your home screen, draining your battery or data even when not in use, and not doing what it promised to do are all signs of a scam.

• Report fraudulent apps. If you spot an app scam, report it. In the Google Play store, you can flag an app as inappropriate and then explain the reason. In a recent update to Apple’s iOS, you can now “report a problem” on any app’s description page and then select “report a scam or fraud.” You can also report app scams to BBB.org/ ScamTracker.

Legislation introduced to protect citizens when local officials are charged with crimes

Local elected officials charged with crimes that could harm local residents can be temporarily removed from office until their criminal cases are resolved, under 411318 legislation sponsored by state Sen. Dave Syverson (R-Cherry Valley) and cosponsored by local area legislators.

Senate Bill 3460 gives local governments the tools necessary to protect citizens in cases when elected officials have been charged with crimes that put the public at risk.

“Under current law, local government employees charged with a crime re-

lated to their office can be placed on leave until their criminal cases are resolved.

However, county-wide and township-wide elected officials indicted for work-related crimes cannot be put on leave. They are allowed to continue to work in their office until their legal matter is resolved in court, which could take years,” Syverson said. “Senate Bill 3460 puts provisions in place that would allow elected officials charged with a felony to be placed on leave until their case is resolved.”

Funding approved for education and training program equipment that will be at the heart of inspiring and training our students. Ultimately, our goal for the Foglia Center for Advanced Technology and Innovation is to produce an entrepreneurial, well-trained and confident workforce that drives a vital economy for McHenry County.”

District 155’s award will fund the creation of a certified nursing assistant program, as well as broader job training.

The district consists of Crystal Lake Central, Crystal Lake South, Cary-Grove and Prairie Ridge high schools.

“Our partnership with the county emphasizes our shared commitment and vision to promote career exploration for our high school students, cultivate realworld experiences with local business, and fill the employment gap in McHenry County,” Superintendent Steve Olson said. “We are grateful for the County Board’s investment, which will have far-reaching benefits for our students, families, local businesses and taxpayers.”

Advance McHenry County funding will allow the Child Advocacy Center to support its staff, and to provide extensive child abuse investigation training for law enforcement, mental health professionals and medical providers countywide. The center has served victims of child abuse since 1999.

“This funding also will enable us to help victims of child abuse and affected family members by providing them needed items such as clothing, personal hygiene items and gift cards for necessities such as groceries and gas,” Executive Director Misty Marinier said.

“We are so very thankful for this funding opportunity.”

Funding requests received by the county are first evaluated by The Bronner Group, the firm hired to help administer the program, on a 100-point scale developed to gauge community benefit; the firm also ensures that the requests align with federal guidelines governing how ARPA funds are used. McHenry County College’s proposal received a 91 percent score, with District 155 and the Child Advocacy Center receiving 83 and 81 points, respectively.

The McHenry County Board approved its first three funding requests under the Advance McHenry County program to invest tens of millions in federal COVID-19 recovery money in projects that directly benefit the community.

Board members voted unanimously at their Jan. 18 meeting to approve a $1.69 million award to help fund state-of-theart educational and training equipment for McHenry County College’s new Foglia Center for Advanced Technology and Innovation. Another $1.5 million award to Community High School District 155 will finance a jobs readiness and exploration program for nursing and other fields. The County Board also approved $500,000 to support the Child Advocacy Center of McHenry County’s mission to help child abuse victims.

“These first three awards approved by the County Board are the epitome of what we had in mind when we created Advance McHenry County,” County Board Chairman Mike Buehler, R-Crystal Lake, said. “We look forward to seeing more and more requests come before us to put this funding to work for the people in thoughtful and impactful ways.”

The first phase of the Advance McHenry County plan will invest half of the $59.7 million the county is set to receive in American Rescue Plan Act funding. Of the $29.8 million to be disbursed in this phase, $14 million will be allocated to infrastructure capital projects, and $8 million will be dedicated to manufacturing, workforce development and jobs programs. Just under $3 million will be allocated to nonprofit agencies, and another $3 million will be set aside for special districts and other local governments that did not receive ARPA funds.

McHenry County College’s award will support more than half of the equipment costs for the new center. The college expects to break ground this summer on the state-of-the art facility, which will house numerous manufacturing and technology-related jobs programs.

“On behalf of McHenry County College, we offer a tremendous thank you to McHenry County and the Advance McHenry County program,” MCC President Clint Gabbard said.

“This funding will allow us to provide

• Legislation Syverson says the legislation offers the steps needed to protect taxpayers and families, but in a way that also protects the rights of elected officials who have only been charged and not found guilty of crimes.

In helping craft the legislation, Boone County State’s Attorney Tricia Smith wanted to ensure the process is not incorrectly used as a political tool. To that end, Senate Bill 3460 requires a three-fifths vote by a county board to direct the state’s attorney to determine if the charges against a local government official are germane to the official’s office activities.

For example, if a countywide elected official was indicted on a traffic charge, it would probably not put the public at risk if the official remained in office until their case was resolved. However, if the state’s attorney determines there is potential public risk associated with an alleged crime, the case would be taken to the chief judge of the Circuit Court, who would make the ruling if the county official should be placed on administrative leave while their case is adjudicated. In the case of township-wide elected officials, it would be the township’s legal counsel who would make the ruling and take it to the court.

“I was honored to work with the senator and other

The need for this legislation arose after criminal charges were filed against the Winnebago County coroner. Even though there was a clear risk to taxpayers and families, the elected official was allowed to continue working at his office because under current law there was no mechanism in place to temporarily remove the elected official.

Boone County State’s Attorney Tricia Smith helped craft Senate Bill 3460 which State Senator Dave Syverson sponsored.
