Here’s how to get in the fast lane to peace of mind. We don’t have to tell you how important your car is. For many of us, it’s like a member of the family. Not only does it make your life a whole lot easier, but let’s face it, it’s valuable. It can be a worry. Things can go wrong. And when they do, it’s not at all cheap. Happily, though, as a member of URW Community Federal, you can save yourself a world of angst, thanks to our affordable and incredibly simple Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)* and our popular Extended Warranty. 539 Arnett Boulevard Guaranteed Asset Protection – GAP With GAP, if you have a serious accident or your car is stolen, you’re covered for the “gap” between what you owe and what your insurance covers. It’s especially helpful coverage for when your car is relatively new and your debt is high. And GAP’s not just for cars, trucks, and SUVs – it’s also available for motorcycles, travel trailers, watercraft, and motor homes.+ 1901 Goodyear Boulevard Extended Warranty Most new cars are out of warranty in just two and a half years, and these days, with advanced electronics and “integrated systems”, repairing or replacing parts is more expensive than ever. And don’t even ask about labor costs! Unfortunately, over time, the likelihood of your car experiencing a mechanical failure is pretty much a certainty. Extended Warranty helps you protect yourself against the expense of future costly repairs. The total cost of Extended Warranty for new and pre-owned vehicles is often far less than the cost of a single repair! Inclusive benefits include: No deductible • Nationwide coverage • 24/7/365 Emergency Roadside Service 30 Day Money Back Guarantee • Transferable • Direct Claim Payments Via VISA/ MasterCard • Total Loss Refund 142 S Main Street 701 Broad Street 314 Lowes Dr. 230 S.

Spear Phishing: A Rising Threat Spear phishing criminals use inside information on their email victims to try to convince them with urgent and legitimate-sounding explanations that they need to provide their personal information. The criminal’s goal is to get you to click on a link inside an email they’ve sent you, which will direct you to a phony but realistic-looking website, where you will be prompted to provide passwords, account numbers, user IDs, PINs, and other similar information. What can you do to make sure you don’t end up a victim of spear phishing? • Keep in mind that most companies, banks, agencies, etc., don’t request personal information via email. If in doubt, give the company in question a call (but don’t use the phone number provided in the email—that’s usually phony as well). • Use a phishing filter. Many web browsers have them built in or offer them as plug-ins. • Never follow a link to a secure site from within an email. Always enter the URL manually. • Watch for these subject lines, which are most commonly used in worldwide phishing emails: Invitation to connect on LinkedIn Mail delivery failed: returning message to sender Dear <insert bank name here> Customer Comunicazione importante Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender If you are suspicious of an email, don’t take the risk in opening it.
