Voice Connect ~ Senior Center Robocall
We have recently starting using a new feature through MySeniorCenter called Voice Connect. Voice Connect is a robocall which will send out a recorded message to Senior Center Members. This message can be sent to a select group or to all Senior Center Members who have scanned in over a period of time. This is just another tool we will be utilizing to get information out to people.
Please be aware that the Senior Center’s phone number, (860) 889-5960, will come up on your caller ID and it will indicate the call is from “City of Norwich”. This is a legitimate robocall coming from the Senior Center. The recorded message will be from Mike or Hilary and will be our actual voice not a computerized voice.
You do NOT have to call us back or respond to these robocalls unless otherwise asked to do so in the message or if you have a question. Our phone number is (860) 889-5960. Always remember, if you ever receive a suspicious phone call indicating it is from the Senior Center, please let us know! Be safe!
COVID-19 and Stimulus Check Scams
The Federal Government has received numerous reports of COVID-19 related scam and hoax text messages, fake emails and scam robocalls offering free home testing kits, promoting cures & vaccines, selling health insurance, Medicare offers and fake charity drives. All of which are scams.
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will never contact you offering home testing kits, cures or vaccines nor will they call requesting personal information from you. There is currently no cure or vaccine for COVID-19 and testing is only performed by a health care worker at a COVID-19 testing site or hospital. Also, no one from Medicare will contact you offering COVID-19 related products, offers or benefits.
In addition, the IRS is warning people about fraudulent stimulus check related scams. The IRS will never contact you by phone, email, text message, or social media with information about your stimulus payment, or to ask you for your Social Security number, Medicare number, bank account information, government benefits debit card account number or asking you to pay a fee to receive your check.
Hang up on calls and delete emails & texts that are suspicious. If you respond, they might ask you for money or personal information. Remember to NEVER give out your personal information, bank information, Social Security number or Medicare number and NEVER send cash, checks, gift cards, wire money or give out credit card information to anyone or any organization that you are unsure about.
If you think you are a victim of a fraud or attempted fraud involving COVID-19, call the National Center for Disaster Fraud Hotline at 1-866-720-5721 or by email at disaster@leo.gov. If it is a cyber scam (internet related scam), submit your complaint through www.ic3.gov

Join us for a Free seminar on planning your funeral and cemetery arrangement in advance.
Funeral planning can seem overwhelming. Losing a family member is an emotional experience, and grief can make the funeral planning process difficult.
Pre-planning final arrangements helps relieve your family of both emotional and financial burdens while making them aware of your final wishes. Things to consider include ~ choosing between traditional burial planning and cremation, designing a religious ceremony or a celebration of life, and deciding on a final resting place.
Join us for this informative seminar to discover four steps to planning your final arraignments while bringing peace of mind to yourself and loved ones.
