The rain did not dampen the awesome spirit of giving in Freeport last Friday, November 4^th, for the 8^th annual WREX FREEPORT FOOD DRIVE. We had another record year of donations, with a huge amount of food and toiletries collected along with over $3400 in monetary donations, including $1500 from Cornerstone Credit Union. The need is great in the Freeport community. Freeport Area Church Cooperative will distribute them to help as many as possible. THANK YOU to all who donated!

BBB Alert: Avoid Black Friday Scammers

November 23, 2022

Rockford, IL – November 23, 2022 – Black Friday, traditionally the single busiest combined online and in-person shopping day of the year, arrives a little earlier this year, with many stores already advertising Black Friday prices. Dennis Horton, director of the Rockford Regional Office of the Better Business Bureau says, “This always is a time where emotions run high and, to snap up a great deal people often rush their decisions. This can lead to buyer’s remorse if a fast decision leads to getting scammed online, or buying an item that shoppers end up deciding they didn’t want or dealing with a company that turns out to be substandard. The lowest price is not always the best deal; working with companies you know, and trust is invaluable.”

Virtual Bank Robbers Sending Victims Fake Banking Notices

November 7, 2022

Rockford, IL – November 2, 2022 – Have you ever wondered why you are getting texts, emails, or even voicemails from a credit union or bank you don’t even do business with. Scammers use a shotgun approach to push impostor emails and texts from banks trying to rob personal identity and drain victim accounts.

The Better Business Bureau says that one of scammers' favorite tactics is impersonating a person or organization you know and trust. “That's the premise of this new text message scam, which has been popping up in recent BBB Scam Tracker reports,” says Dennis Horton, director of the Rockford Regional Office of BBB. “This time, con artists are impersonating your bank.”
