As technology advances, we're more susceptible to fraud.

This Friday, we're excited to partner with Cape Cod 5 on an important topic: emerging trends in banking technology, cybersecurity, and AI and how financial institutions are adapting to digital threats to support their customers.

Fraud Prevention Tip: Did you receive an email from your “CEO” requesting an urgent wire transfer? These messages look like they’re from a trusted sender to trick victims into transferring money or revealing sensitive information.

🚩 Recognize the red flags such as urgent requests, unfamiliar bank details or slightly altered email addresses. And always verify any payment requests in person or by phone to make sure it is legitimate.

As summer approaches, Eversource MA has some helpful tips to reduce your energy costs while keeping your home cool in the coming weeks and months.

🥵 Installing your window AC units? Don't forget to seal any gaps to keep the cool air in and warm air out. Even if you don't crank the AC, extreme heat like we've had this week means it's working harder to maintain a comfortable temp. Air sealing is one of the best ways to reduce your energy use and costs while keeping cool. 😎 Head to the comments for a link to all our summer energy-saving tips and tools.
