Phishing Hits Monrovia; Cooling Center Open; Share Your Concerns for Disaster Plan

In his latest report (https://goo.gl/aOqX7O) City Manager Dylan Feik reports: 

~ Phishing attacks are now targeting Monrovians. Phishing involves deceptive emails or messages that mimic legitimate entities to trick people into sharing sensitive information.  Recently, a resident received a suspicious email (shown above), seemingly from the city, urging them to click a suspicious URL. Signs of a scam include: no existing account, lack of personalization, poor grammar, and requests for personal information or passwords. If you suspect a phishing email, report it to reportphishing@apwg.org. For more information, visit www.ftc.gov/phishing. 

~ The cooling center at the Monrovia Community Center (119 W. Palm Ave.) will be open until this Sunday, July 16, 9 a.m. - 9 p.m. All ages are welcome, and minors must be accompanied by a guardian at all times.
