Local victim loses $50,000 in latest scam, police issue fraud alert

Lincoln City Police Department (LCPD) investigators are urging residents and visitors to watch for, and avoid, the latest financial fraud in the community. "Over the previous month, the Lincoln City Police Department has seen a rise in scam reporting including one recent local victim who was defrauded out of $50,000 in fear of being arrested by the FBI," the LCPD states in a social media post. Specific details of the local victim were not revealed by the police department. "We would like to remind everyone that it is generally not advised to send money to unknown recipients." The law enforcement agency states that common scam tactics include unusual payment methods, such as gift cards and digital currencies, demands not to disclose the activity to others, and the creation of a false sense of urgency. In the post, the LCPD includes a short FBI video explaining the psychology of a scam that the agency said is worth watching and discussing with your loved ones. In the video, the FBI explains that the scammers will ask for unusual payment methods that are a red flag, such as gift cards, cryptocurrency, and gold bars/ "If the individual says we're going to send a

Oregon Graduation Requirements: Personal Financial Education

Beginning with students receiving an Oregon Diploma or Modified Diploma on or after Jan. 1, 2027, Oregon students must earn a half-credit in Personal Financial Education. Established by Senate Bill 3, the requirement is included within the existing 24 credits required for graduation and does not increase the total number of credits students must earn. While the requirement is new, financial literacy education is not new to Lincoln County School District. LCSD has offered Financial Algebra for several years, and financial concepts also appear in mathematics, economics and career-focused courses. However, Personal Financial Education is a separate course with a different focus. “In math, students might calculate interest. In personal finance, we explore what that interest means when choosing a credit card, taking out a loan or saving for retirement,” Waldport High School teachers Heather Greel and Conner Swertfeger said in a joint response. “Students compare options, evaluate risks and explain their decisions.” Having a dedicated course allows students to connect financial concepts and apply them to situations they will encounter after high school. Topics include personal income and taxes; checking and savings accounts; budgeting; credit; loans and payments; car leasing and purchasing; mortgages; stocks; insurance; and retirement planning.

Landfill debate in Benton County should be treated as a coastal and regional issue

To the editor: When we talk about solid waste policy in Oregon, it’s easy to focus on the community where a landfill is located. But decisions about where our garbage goes, how it gets there, and who pays extend far beyond any single county line, especially for communities along the Oregon coast. In October, the Newport city council submitted a formal letter to the Benton County Board of Commissioners expressing concern that denying the proposed Coffin Butte landfill expansion could have long-term consequences for the region. The council urged Benton County to approve the application. Newport doesn’t host Coffin Butte,
