New York Alliance Against Insurance Fraud warns that fake COVID-19 health coverage and other insurance schemes are being added to the scam mix as con artists exploit the pandemic for personal profit at consumer expense.

Robocalls, plus text and email phishing attacks, can pitch false insurance deals to consumers of all ages. These pitches may ask consumers to pay insurance premiums without delivering coverage.

COVID-19 insurance cons also can work to steal people’s medical and financial identities. Visit http://www. insurancefraud.org/Covid-19.htm for the latest consumer scam updates.

Early alertness is crucial to self-defense. Insurance scams could spread rapidly as scam artists seek new ways to prey on people’s anxiety about health preparedness and social isolation, the New York Alliance cautions.

Consumers should watch closely for insurance-related scams such as: •Bogus corona insurance. Scammers are pitching low-cost “coronavirus” or “COVID-19” health coverage. They promise full coverage at affordable prices. Robocalls falsely claim to be legitimate, mainstream insurance companies. People are asked to call a toll-free number; a trained marketer may try to sell coverage. Clicking a link to the so-called insurer may load malware.

•Free vaccines, special virus tests or kits.

Con artists are pitching free vaccines and tests, claiming they’re insured.

•False insurance cancellation. Callers urgently say a loved one is sick in the

hospital with COVID-19. Your health insurance was canceled, and you can pay over the phone to reinstate coverage and receive needed treatment.

•Bogus agents. Watch for cold-callers and spam emails claiming to be from insurance agents. They may pitch false corona or COVID-19 insurance policies.

Contact a licensed health-insurance agent near you.

•Senior scams. Seniors are being targeted by COVID-19 robocalls and other scams that ask for their Medicare numbers. Vaccines, tests, and other frauds are being pitched. Scammers can later make bogus claims against the senior’s Medicare account. Scammers even have approached residents at senior housing and assisted-living facilities for Medicare ruses.

Consumers can take action to avoid being scammed.

•Ignore low-cost insurance or other suspicious deals. Reject sales pitches contacting you without your prior consent or telling you to press “1” or another key to be removed from a call list.

•Ignore pitches for Coronavirus or COVID-19 insurance or home testing kits.

All are bogus.

•Do not pick up the phone if it’s from an unknown number. Just hang up if you do answer; do not engage the caller.

•Avoid clicking links or downloading files from unfamiliar sources. Watch for typos in the messages.

•Report suspicious calls to the Federal Trade Commission.

Ensign Dylan Shapiro, from Rochester, treats a patient in a ward aboard the hospital ship USNS Mercy (T-AH 19) on April 13. Mercy deployed to Los Angeles, California, in support of the nation’s COVID-19 response efforts, and will serve as a referral hospital for nonCOVID-19 patients currently admitted to shore-based hospitals. This allows shore-based hospitals to focus their efforts on COVID-19 cases. One of the Department of Defense’s missions is Defense Support of Civil Authorities. DoD is supporting the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the lead federal agency, as well as state, local and public health authorities in helping protect the health and safety of the American people.

Diversions Aquinas senior Olivia Raetz, of Spencerport.

Aquinas seniors celebrated

by Tami Raco Aquinas Institute President Dr. Anthony Cook, Principal Ted Mancini, Athletic Director Anthony Bianchi, and other administrators honored their seniors on Saturday, April 11, with a surprise visit and special yard sign honoring them.

“We felt as though this was a small token of appreciation we could do for our seniors while still adhering to the proper social distancing recommendations,” said Dr. Cook. The administrators divided up the list of seniors and made special surprise visits including the gift of a yard sign in Aquinas colors that read, “Proud Home of an Aquinas Senior.”

Faculty members maintained appropriate social distancing but were able to celebrate their seniors with this special effort. “We miss all of our students, but our hearts break for our seniors. We let them know that we are thinking about them and that we are committed to making their senior year special, the best that we can,” said Cook.

According to Dr. Cook, “It was an easy decision for us as an administration, because we all feel that the Aquinas community is special. We know our families appreciate this, but what they need to understand is that this also means so much to us to be able to do this for them.”

For information, visit www.aquinasinstitute.com.

WIN $600 FUN PACKAGE!

FLX 4-H Learning Launchpad: A virtual learning experience NYS Finger Lakes 4-H District offers opportunities for online learning Have you ever thought about trying bird watching, kitchen scrap gardening, or making a calm jar with your families?

Learn these and more by visiting FLX 4H Learning Launchpad, an online learning platform. Join 4-H educators and volunteers daily to learn about exciting topics and activities youth and families can do at home.

In New York State, 4-H is part of Cornell Cooperative Extension, connecting youth to research-based information through Cornell University. The mission of the New York State 4-H Youth Development program is to connect youth to hands-on learning opportunities that help them grow into competent, caring, contributing members of society. Today, more than ever before, that means providing learning opportunities to youth in our communities only now in a virtual environment.

Ontario County 4-H Educator, Sarah Bagley, came up with the idea for FLX 4H Learning Launchpad soon after school closings and in-person 4-H activity suspensions due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The FLX 4-H Learning Launchpad is being “launched” amid the COVID-19 outbreak to offer the high-quality 4-H experience that our families value in a safe online environment.

“When faced with the reality of having to switch 4-H programming completely online, I knew that there was strength in numbers,” Bagley said. “Collaborating as a district instead of focusing just on programming for individual counties allowed us to expand our program offerings and deliver content more frequently.

My colleagues throughout the district bring a variety of talents and abilities to the virtual environment, and we have enjoyed connecting with our communities in this new way.”

The objectives of the Launchpad are to maintain a sense of connection with 4-H families across the nine-county Finger Lakes Region, connect researchbased resources with new audiences, and complement at-home learning. New information and activities are posted daily at 10 am, and additional content is

added frequently throughout the week.

One ongoing activity is a video series on observing chicken eggs develop in an incubator. Wayne County 4-H Team Leader, Jessica Spence, guides viewers through the process of chickens changing from eggs to chicks. The whole process takes just about three weeks.

The Launchpad also recently challenged its audience to spread cheer by painting their windows with encouraging scenes. Wayne County 4-H Educator, Amy Pyra, recorded a short video with her children demonstrating how to create cheerful window paintings using rainbow and tractor designs.

Launchpad activities are offered in a variety of formats, including live videos, webinars, and worksheets. Activities are on a wide range of topics. Monroe County 4-H Educator, Jessica Reid, has produced two videos for the FLX Learning Launchpad, one on creating a wildlife journal observing nature in your backyard and the other on kitchen scrap gardening.

Reid shares her inspiration for topic choice. “With most of us limited to our own homes and backyards, I wanted to inspire youth to look for signs of nature in the world just outside their door, and to try thinking outside the box with ways they can be resourceful with objects in their home that may otherwise go to waste, such as kitchen scraps,” Reid said.

“I think this is a great time for children to explore that there is so much wonder and discovery to be found right at home.”

To access FLX 4-H Learning Launchpad activities, search for it on Facebook, and follow the Launchpad page. Also, visit the webpage at http://monroe.cce. cornell.edu/4-h-youth-development/flx4-h-learning-launchpad to find links to each activity.

4-H is a worldwide youth development program open to all youth aged five to 19 who want to have fun, learn new skills, and explore the world. In return, youth who participate in 4-H find a supportive environment and opportunities for hands-on or “experiential” learning about things that interest them. Learn more at https://nys4-h.org/.
