    logo_yavapaicollegeClarkdale AZ (October 29, 2017) – Yavapai College is warning residents that scammers have appropriated various college-owned phone numbers and are using them to mask their own identity to place nuisance calls. The practice, known as “ID spoofing,” can mimic anyone’s phone number.

    “It appears that someone was spoofing our telephone numbers and attempting to impersonate college employees,” said Yavapai College Chief Information Security Officer Sean Hagan. “We’re aware of five instances related to this scam so far. Given the design of public telephone systems, there’s not much we can do about it beyond collecting evidence and getting the police involved, which we are doing now.”

    People who have received calls are located as far away as Flagstaff and Tucson, and the calls vary from silence upon answering to offers for a credit card or warning that student loans are in or near default.

    “Yavapai College will never call you to tell you that you need to speak to a loan officer,” said Yavapai College Financial Aid Director Diana Dowling. Furthermore, the college does not have an affiliated credit card and will not solicit students or anyone else to apply for one.

But if you are in the mood to wallow in darkness and self-pity, read on. Baby Boomers, what happened? Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet? What happened to those of us who grew our hair, protested against the unjust wars of our time and dominated three decades with the best music ever made and played? Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world. We marched in great numbers on Washington against the killing war in Viet Nam. We wanted to bring an end to evil. And we failed. Miserably. Read more→
