COVID-19 vaccine statement from the Massachusetts Association of Community Colleges

COVID-19 Vaccine Statement from the Massachusetts Association of Community Colleges

Please see the statement, here and below, issued by the 15 Massachusetts Community College Presidents, including President of Bristol Community College Laura L. Douglas, encouraging our student populations to get the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible and confirming that at this time we are not contemplating COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

Below is the statement issued by the fifteen Community College Presidents:

Now that all Massachusetts residents 16+ are eligible to access appointments, we strongly urge our students, employees, and all in our college communities to receive a COVID-19 vaccination as soon as they are able. Top health officials for the state and the country, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and our community leaders have all demonstrated that the available vaccines are not only safe but are the most effective way to limit the spread of the coronavirus. The vaccines currently being administered have met the Food and Drug Administration’s rigorous scientific standards for safety, effectiveness, and manufacturing quality needed to support emergency use authorization. Millions of people in the United States have already received COVID-19 vaccines, and these vaccines will continue to undergo the most intensive safety monitoring in U.S. history.

Last year, we all made the difficult decision to significantly limit in-person services and primarily offer remote and online learning opportunities to keep our communities safe. We share the optimism of many throughout higher education as we view the current public health trends. We know that many of our dedicated faculty, staff, and students have been anxiously waiting their turn in the vaccination queue. At the same time, we continue to move ahead toward a safe and increased face-to-face presence at our campuses to meet the “new normal of campus operations” in the upcoming fall. Widespread vaccinations and continued safety precautions will allow our colleges to safely repopulate our campuses and continue to offer the high-quality education that our students want and deserve. As we have shown throughout this pandemic, campus planning will always be guided, first and foremost, by the health and safety of our entire college community.

Considerations for the fall semester continue to develop and are subject to change, but the community colleges are not contemplating COVID-19 vaccine mandates at this time. It is essential that we meet the needs of all of our students, who are often from the communities hit hardest by this pandemic and facing disproportionate access to the COVID-19 vaccine. And now, it is more important than ever to prioritize equity, and creating additional barriers for our students would go against our critically important mission of open access for all.




Four New Bedford police officers receive bravery and service awards

New Bedford Police Department Chief Joseph Cordeiro recently recognized four Officers for bravery and service above self. The following were awarded:

Officer Lorenzo Gonzalez and Officer Joseph Duarte Life Saving Award

On Nov. 26, 2020 the Officers observed dark smoke south of their location. Following the smoke, they discovered a structure fire at 16 Washburn St. which had spread to two neighboring buildings. The Officers immediately exited the cruiser to assist and observed a woman trapped in her apartment and pleading for help. Repeated attempts to remove the woman through the window were unsuccessful. With little regard for their own safety, the Officers then entered the burning residence and breeched the apartment door. The woman was successfully removed from the apartment and escorted to medics. The officers continued to assist with the fire scene and escorted displaced tenants to safety and medical treatment.
The alertness, quick response, and subsequent bravery of both officers undoubtedly lead to the saving of this woman’s life. “Both Officers responded to the call of duty that day and made a remarkable sacrifice without any fire protective gear to save the life of another. Their efforts were heroic,” he added.

Officer Allan Fonseca – Chief’s Award

When Officer Allan Fonseca (who also serves as a Master Sergeant in the US Air Force) took on the challenge of organizing a bone marrow drive for more than 400 members of the US Military nearly a decade ago, he was aiming to succeed at a leadership class project. It didn’t occur to him that six years later he would be flying across the country on his own time to save the life of a 16-year-old boy that he may never meet.

During a leadership training exercise in 2012 Officer Fonseca was inspired by the program’s instructor, who shared that he was battling leukemia. When it was time to produce a community project as part of a leadership training program, Officer Fonseca came up with the idea of organizing a bone marrow drive and more than 400 of his fellow service people followed suit.

Fast track to 2018, having long forgotten about his registration with the national bone marrow registry and Officer Fonseca gets a call out of the blue. There’s a 16-year-old boy battling leukemia and Officer Fonseca’s bone marrow is a perfect match.

Fonseca using his own time, got on a plane and flew across the country to San Diego and underwent the first of two 6-day bone marrow extraction procedures. The second would take place in Providence a year later and under urgent timing when it was realized that the recipient required more marrow urgently.

“You took your own time and put the life of another first. The life of a stranger whose only hope for survival was a result of your selfless and noble act of honor,” said Cordeiro.
“Officer Fonseca, that class project you were aiming for in 2012 has far exceeded its goal. You serve as inspiration to us all and we are truly grateful for your service,” added Cordeiro.

Sgt. Donald Williams – Chief’s Award

In response to the devastation caused in south Texas by Hurricane Harvey, Sgt. Donald Williams took matters into his own hands, organized a massive collection of donations at HQ, led a charge of volunteers collecting items ranging from food and water, diapers, and clothes to support victims of the brutal storm.

He then ensured the goods were loaded onto UHAUl trucks and personally drove one of those vehicles to Houston, Texas, where he delivered the needed items dirtily to those suffering loss from the storm. Sgt. Williams then stayed on to assist in recovery operations.

“Taking on an operation of this magnitude was no small feat for any organized operation, but to come up with the idea and the desire to serve others in a way that was so personal is an indication of your true self and to service above self,” said Cordeiro. “Today we honor you for that service and for your commitment to always keeping your eyes open for opportunities to go above and beyond.”




Two deceased victims of New Bedford’s Acushnet Avenue fire, identified

The two deceased victims of a Monday morning fire at 1283 Acushnet Avenue in New Bedford can now be publicly identified.

FBI: “Beware of cybercriminals using fake job listings to target applicants’ personally identifiable information”

Scammers advertise jobs the same way legitimate employers do—online (in ads, on job sites, college employment sites, and social media), in newspapers, and sometimes on TV and radio. They promise you a job, but what they want is your money and your personal information.

Fake Job or Employment Scams occur when criminal actors deceive victims into believing they have a job or a potential job. Criminals leverage their position as “employers” to persuade victims to provide them with personally identifiable information (PII), become unwitting money mules, or to send them money.

Fake Job Scams have existed for a long time but technology has made this scam easier and more lucrative. Cybercriminals now pose as legitimate employers by spoofing company websites and posting fake job openings on popular online job boards. They conduct false interviews with unsuspecting applicant victims, then request PII and/or money from these individuals. The PII can be used for any number of nefarious purposes, including taking over the victims’ accounts, opening new financial accounts, or using the victims’ identity for another deception scam (such as obtaining fake driver’s licenses or passports).

Criminals first spoof a legitimate company’s website by creating a domain name similar in appearance to a legitimate company. Then they post fake job openings on popular job boards that direct applicants to the spoofed sites. Applicants can apply on the spoofed company websites or directly on the job boards. Applicants are contacted by email to conduct an interview using a teleconference application. According to victims, cybercriminals impersonate personnel from different departments, including recruiters, talent acquisition, human resources, and department managers.

Cybercriminals executing this scam request the same information as legitimate employers, making it difficult to identify a hiring scam until it is too late. Some indications of this scam may include:

• Interviews are not conducted in-person or through a secure video call.
• Interviews are conducted via teleconference applications that use email addresses instead of phone numbers.
• Potential employers contact victims through non-company email domains and teleconference applications.
• Potential employers require employees to purchase start-up equipment from the company.
• Potential employers require employees to pay upfront for background investigations or screenings.
• Potential employers request credit card information.
• Potential employers send an employment contract to physically sign asking for PII
• Job postings appear on job boards, but not on the companies’ websites.
• Recruiters or managers do not have profiles on the job board, or the profiles do not seem to fit their roles.

According to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), 16,012 people reported being victims of employment scams in 2020, with losses totaling more than $59 million. In 2020, Texas reported 1,720 victims reported $4.5 million in losses. There were 69 victims in El Paso totaling $721,600 in losses. As of March 5, 2021, 2,349 victims had already reported $5 million in losses nationwide, 244 victims in the state of Texas with a loss of $1.5 million. In El Paso, there were eight victims reporting $31,928 in losses. Midland/Odessa reported 10 incidents in 2020 totaling $71,500 and zero complaints in 2021. The average reported loss was nearly $3,000 per victim, in addition to damage to the victims’ credit scores.

How to Protect Yourself

• Conduct a web search of the hiring company using the company name only. Results that return multiple websites for the same company (abccompany.com and abccompanyllc.com) may indicate fraudulent job listings.
• Legitimate companies will ask for PII and bank account information for payroll purposes AFTER hiring employees. This information is safer to give in-person. If in-person contact is not possible, a video call with the potential employer can confirm identity, especially if the company has a directory against which to compare employee photos.
• Never send money to someone you meet online, especially by wire transfer.
• Never provide credit card information to an employer.
• Never provide bank account information to employers without verifying their identity.
• Do not accept any job offers that ask you to use your own bank account to transfer their money. A legitimate company will not ask you to do this.
• Never share your Social Security number or other PII that can be used to access your accounts with someone who does not need to know this information.
• Before entering PII online, make sure the website is secure by looking at the address bar. The address should begin with “https://”, not “http://”. However: criminals can also use “https://” to give victims a false sense of security. A decision to proceed should not be based solely upon the use of “https://”.

If you are a victim of an employment scam, the FBI recommends taking the following actions:

• Report the activity to the Internet Crime Complaint Center at www.ic3.gov or the FBI El Paso Office at (915) 832-5000.
• Report the activity to the website in which the job posting was listed.
• Report the activity to the company the cyber criminals impersonated.

Contact your financial institution immediately upon discovering any fraudulent or suspicious activity and direct them to stop or reverse the transactions.

Ask your financial institution to contact the corresponding financial institution where the fraudulent or suspicious transfer was sent.

If you believe you, or someone you know, is a victim of an employment scam, please contact the FBI El Paso Field Office at (915) 832-5000 or visit the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center at ic3.gov.

El FBI Advierte Sobre Delincuentes Cibernéticos Que Anuncian Empleos Falsos Para Robar Su Información Personal

Existen estafadores que publican puestos falsos de trabajo de la misma manera en que empleadores legítimos lo hacen, por medio del Internet (anuncios, sitios de trabajo, sitios de trabajo de colegios, y medios sociales), por periódicos, y a veces por medios de la radio y televisión. Prometen un trabajo, pero lo que buscan es obtener su dinero y su información personal.

Un empleo falso o engaño de empleo es cuando los delincuentes hacen creer a sus víctimas que tienen un trabajo o que existe la posibilidad de un empleo para ellos. Los delincuentes se hacen pasar como “Empleadores” para persuadir a sus víctimas a proveerles información personal identificable (PII) para convertirlos en mulas de dinero, o para que les envíen dinero a ellos.

Los engaños de trabajos falsos han existido por mucho tiempo, pero la tecnología ha facilitado este tipo de fraude y lo ha hecho más lucrativo. Los delincuentes cibernéticos ahora se hacen pasar por empleadores legítimos al falsificar los sitios web de compañías y publican ofertas falsas de trabajo en sitios populares del Internet. Llevan a cabo entrevistas falsas con las víctimas y luego les piden dinero o su identificación personal. Su identificación personal puede ser utilizada en un sinnúmero de propósitos maliciosos, incluyendo el tomar posesión de sus cuentas bancarias, abrir nuevas cuentas bancarias, o utilizar la identidad de la víctima para otros fraudes engañosos (obtener licencias de conducir fraudulentas o pasaportes).

Los delincuentes inicialmente logran falsificar el sitio web de una compañía legítima para crear un dominio web similar en apariencia al de la compañía legítima. Luego crean portales falsos de empleo en sitios web populares que dirigen a los solicitantes a los sitios web que falsificaron. Los interesados hacen su solicitud en estos sitios web que falsificaron o en los portales de trabajo. Los solicitantes son contactados por correo electrónico para llevar a cabo la entrevista utilizando una aplicación para una teleconferencia. De acuerdo a varias víctimas, los delincuentes cibernéticos se hacen pasar por personal de diferentes departamentos, incluyendo reclutadores, agentes de adquisición de talento, personal de recursos humanos y gerentes de departamentos.

Los delincuentes cibernéticos que ejecutan este fraude piden la misma información que los empleadores legítimos, lo cual dificulta el poder detectar el fraude de empleo hasta que ya es muy tarde.

Algunas indicaciones de este fraude pueden incluir:

• Las entrevistas no se hacen en persona o por medio de una video llamada segura.
• Las entrevistas se hacen a través de aplicaciones de teleconferencia que usan correo electrónico en lugar de números telefónicos.
• Los supuestos empleadores se comunican con las víctimas por medio de dominios de correos electrónicos o aplicaciones de teleconferencia que no son de una compañía.
• Los supuestos empleadores requieren que sus aspirantes compren equipo de la compañía antes de comenzar a trabajar.
• Los supuestos empleadores requieren que los aspirantes paguen de antemano por investigaciones de antecedentes o evaluaciones.
• Los supuestos empleadores piden información de su tarjeta de crédito.
• Los supuestos empleadores envían un contrato físico de empleo para que lo firmen y provean información personal identificable (PII).
• Los portales de trabajo aparecen en los sitios de trabajo por Internet, pero no en los sitios web de las compañías.
• Los perfiles de los reclutadores o gerentes no aparecen en los portales de trabajo por Internet o no concuerdan con sus puestos.

De acuerdo con el Internet Crime Complaint Center del FBI (IC3), 16,012 personas reportaron ser víctimas de ofertas fraudulentas de trabajo en el 2020; esas pérdidas suman a más de 59 millones de dólares. En el 2020, Texas reportó 1,720 víctimas y 4.5 millones de dólares en pérdidas. Hubo 69 víctimas en El Paso y pérdidas de 721,600 dólares. Para el 5 de marzo del 2021, ya había 2,349 víctimas y pérdidas de 5 millones de dólares a través del país; de estas, 244 víctimas en el estado de Texas con una pérdida de 1.5 millones de dólares. Hubo ocho víctimas en El Paso con 31,928 dólares en pérdidas. Midland/Odessa reportó 10 incidentes en el 2020 con pérdidas de 71,500 de dólares y cero quejas en el 2021. El promedio de pérdidas reportadas es de casi 3,000 dólares por víctima, sin mencionar el daño ocasionado a su calificación de crédito.

Cómo Protegerse

• Conduzca una búsqueda de la compañía que ofrece el trabajo utilizando únicamente el nombre de la compañía. Si los resultados revelan múltiples sitios de Internet para la misma compañía (abccompany.com y abccompanyllc.com), esto pudiera indicar una oferta de trabajo falsa.
• Las compañías legítimas pedirán su información personal identificable e información de su cuenta bancaria para el propósito de nóminas salariales DESPUÉS de haber contratado al empleado. Esta información es más segura darla en persona. Si el contacto en persona no es posible, una video llamada con el empleador puede confirmar la identidad, especialmente si la compañía tiene un directorio para comparar las fotos de sus empleados.
• Nunca envié dinero a alguien que conoce por Internet, especialmente por una transferencia bancaria electrónica.
• Nunca provea su información de tarjeta de crédito a su empleador.
• Nunca provea información de su cuenta bancaria a empleadores sin antes verificar su identidad.
• No acepte ofertas de trabajo que le pidan usar su cuenta bancaria para ellos hacer transferencias de dinero. Una compañía legítima jamás le pedirá que haga esto.
• Nunca comparta su número de Seguro Social u otra forma de información personal que pudiera utilizarse para tener acceso a sus cuentas bancarias con alguien que no tiene la necesidad de saber esta información.
• Antes de proveer su información personal identificable por Internet, asegúrese que el sitio web sea seguro mirando la dirección del sitio web. La dirección debe comenzar con https:// y no con http://.
• Sin embargo: Los delincuentes pudieran también usar el https:// para dar a las víctimas una sensación falsa de seguridad. La decisión de continuar no debe basarse únicamente en el uso de https://.

Si es víctima de ofertas de empleos fraudulentos, el FBI recomienda que tome las siguientes medidas:

• Reporte el incidente al Internet Crime Complaint Center en www.ic3.gov o a la Oficina del FBI en el Paso al (915) 832-5000.
• Reporte el incidente al sitio web donde la oferta de empleo fue anunciada.
• Reporte el incidente a la compañía que los delincuentes cibernéticos personificaron.
• Comuníquese con su institución financiera de inmediato al descubrir algún fraude o actividad sospechosa y solicite que detengan o reviertan las transacciones.
• Pídale a su institución financiera que se comunique con la institución financiera correspondiente donde el fraude o la transferencia sospechosa fue enviada.

Si usted cree que usted o alguien que conoce fue víctima de un engaño de empleo, por favor comuníquese con la Oficina del FBI en El Paso al (915) 832-5000 o visite el Internet Crime Complaint Center del FBI en ic3.gov.




FBI warns Massachusetts residents to beware of government impersonation scams

Federal agencies do not threaten individuals or demand immediate payment

The FBI Boston Division has seen an increase in reports of scammers targeting New Englanders through unsolicited telephone calls in which the caller claims to be a representative of a government agency, including the FBI.

Be advised, federal agencies do not call or email individuals threatening arrest or demanding money. Scammers often spoof caller ID information, and these phone calls are fraudulent even if they appear to be coming from an agency’s legitimate phone number. Recipients should hang up immediately and report the call.

There are many versions of the government impersonation scam, and they all exploit intimidation tactics. Typically, the caller advises the recipient of the call that charges have been, or soon will be, filed against them, and threatens to confiscate the recipient’s property, freeze their bank accounts, or have them arrested unless payment is made immediately. If the recipient questions the caller, the caller becomes more aggressive. The recipients are advised that it will cost thousands of dollars in fees or court costs to resolve the matter, and the caller typically instructs people to wire “settlement” money or provide payment via prepaid cards or gift cards to avoid arrest.

“Nobody wants to be the subject of a law enforcement investigation, and scammers are using that to their advantage to try and intimidate people into just handing over their hard-earned money. We’re asking you not to fall for it,” said Joseph R. Bonavolonta, special agent in charge of the FBI Boston Division. “It’s important to resist the urge to act immediately and verify who is actually contacting you.”

According to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), 12,827 people reported being victims of government impersonation scams in 2020, with losses totaling $109,938,030. Here in the Boston Division, which includes all of Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island, 405 complaints were filed with financial losses totaling $3,789,407.

• 44 victims in Maine reported financial losses totaling $32,252.
• 270 victims in Massachusetts reported financial losses totaling $3,254,895.
• 38 victims in New Hampshire reported losing $89,382.
• 53 victims in Rhode Island lost approximately $412,878.

The FBI will never:

• Call or email private citizens to demand payment or threaten arrest. You will also not be asked to wire a “settlement” to avoid arrest.
• Ask you to use large sums of your own money to help catch a criminal.
• Ask you for wire transfers or gift cards.
• Call you about “frozen” Social Security numbers or to coordinate inheritances.

Scams impersonating the FBI and other government agencies are a persistent problem and can also occur via email. Common hallmarks of a scam email include misspellings, missing words, and incorrect grammar. Fraudulent emails may give the appearance of legitimacy by using pictures of the FBI Director and/or the FBI seal and letterhead.

Members of the public seeking to confirm that they have been contacted by an actual FBI employee are encouraged to call the FBI Boston Division at 857-386-2000 and ask to be connected directly.

To avoid becoming a victim of this scam, be wary of answering phone calls from numbers you do not recognize. Do not send money to anybody that you do not personally know and trust. Never give out your personal information, including your Social Security number, over the phone or to individuals you do not know.

If you think you are a victim of this scam and suffered a financial loss, please file a report with your local law enforcement agency and the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov.

All types of fraud schemes and scams (even if there is no financial loss) should be reported to IC3. Filing a complaint allows analysts from the FBI to identify leads and patterns from the hundreds of complaints that are received daily. The IC3 then refers the complaints, along with their analyses, to the relevant law enforcement agency to aid in public awareness and crime-prevention education efforts.




Town of Dartmouth boat wrap recycling program to begin

It protected your boat all winter, now it’s time to protect the environment.

Clean white boat wrap is accepted through this drop-off program at the Dartmouth Transfer Station. Zippers and straps must be removed and discarded. Spray painted wrap cannot be accepted.

“Shrink wrap is a recyclable plastic and it is a waste of our limited disposal resources at Crapo Hill to treat it as garbage. We are working with the Waterways Commission and the Harbormaster to alert individual boaters of this win-win solution to the annual shrink wrap disposal problem,” said Tim Barber, Interim Director of Public Works in the Town of Dartmouth.

Dartmouth residents may take boat wrap to the Dartmouth Transfer Station, now through July 1, 2021. A transfer station permit is required. There is a container for boat wrap only. The Dartmouth Transfer Station is open Tuesday and Thursday from 7:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. and Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. Dartmouth residents who would like to obtain a transfer station permit, or a day pass, may call the Dartmouth DPW at (508) 999-0740.

Remember, boat wrap is only recyclable through drop-off programs. Plastic bags and plastic wraps do not belong in recycling carts. That type of material wraps around equipment at sorting facilities causing sorting to grind to a halt while people work through the challenging task of removing plastic bags and wrap.

For more information, contact the Refuse District’s recycling office by phone at (774) 503-0254 or by email at Marissa@gnbrrmdistrict.org.




Bristol County Sheriff Hodgson takes trip to southern border

“Sheriff Hodgson sent us these pictures from his trip to the southern border this week. He’s meeting with Sheriffs from across the country in Arizona to discuss the border crisis and the public safety impacts of illegal immigration.

Massachusetts State Police arrest wanted man on stolen scooter; charged with narcotics trafficking

“At approximately 1 a.m. today Trooper Tiery Cazeau, assigned to the Massachusetts State Police Tunnels Barracks, observed a scooter being illegally operated on Massachusetts Avenue in Boston. Trooper Cazeau activated his cruiser’s emergency lights and stopped the scooter. He approached the operator, later identified as SCOTT CARTY, 33, of Webster, and gathered his information. Additional cruisers then arrived on scene to assist.

Initially, CARTY provided a false name to Trooper Cazeau; however, through investigation on scene Troopers were able to locate an electronic RMV record and positively identify CARTY. During their investigation Troopers located multiple Massachusetts driver’s licenses and credit cards in CARTY’s wallet that did not belong to him. They were able to confirm, through the RMV electronic record, that CARTY’s license was suspended and that he had three warrants for his arrest. They also discovered the scooter was reported stolen in Boston approximately one week earlier.

After a search of CARTY’s backpack Troopers located a large amount of a crystal-like substance suspected to be crystal methamphetamine. The substance was packaged in multiple baggies and weighed a combined 242 grams. CARTY was placed under arrest and transported to the Tunnels Barracks for booking. A bail commissioner was contacted and ordered CARTY to be held without bail. He was scheduled for arraignment at Boston Municipal Court on the following charges:

1. Trafficking in Methamphetamine;
2. Possession of Stun Gun;
3. Operating a Motor Vehicle with Suspended License;
4. Providing False Name to Police;
5. Motor Vehicle Operator Refuse to Identify Self;
6. Receiving Stolen Motor Vehicle; and
7. Helmet Violation.
