Incident report #2021-358394 

We recently learned about one of the latest ways that crooks are trying to exploit our tax system to steal from taxpayers.

There’s also some specific instructions to follow in the event you are a victim of this latest scheme.

Keep an eye out for a form 1099-G in the mail that reflects unemployment benefits which you did not receive.

Identity theft con-artists are using people’s personal information to apply for UC benefits that are then being paid to the scammers themselves.

Subsequently – state governments are issuing the 1099-G form and mailing it to the address they have on file for the recipient. Thus you receive the tax form, but not the benefits.

It has been advised that if you are the unfortunate receipts of one of these false forms, that you do not attempt to reach out to the IRS. Rather, you should contact the state agency that issued the form to you to get things cleared up.

Originally posted in Nextdoor on 2.06.2021 My husband and I just had a dog that was off leash try and attack our dog TWICE while walking at the Phoenix Mountain Preserve this afternoon. First time was a close encounter and the dog pinned our dog to the ground. My husband had to physically get the dog off of ours while the owners rode away on mountain bikes doing nothing. The 2nd time the dog ran up a hill a couple hundred feet to get to us on a totally different trail. My husband had to block the dog from getting near us. Again, owners didn’t do anything and rode away. Thankfully our dog is very submissive and did not fight back, but that isn’t always the case. It was a very disheartening situation for us and our dog that could easily have been avoided. Please keep your dogs on leash at all times

My reply: I am sorry to hear this. As the Block Watch Leader near you, this is something I have been battling. In our neighborhood street, parks and preserve, dogs are unleashed and many are unpredictable. If you can safely identify the owner and his/her address, you can call to report the violation at 602-506-7387 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week, or you can fill out a report online at www.maricopa.gov/249/Report-an-Incident. If you don’t know the owner or where he or she lives, but you see that person and dog consistently in the same area, around the same time of day/night, you can report that as well and ask for an officer to patrol the area. Just a dog running loose is enough to generate a report, the first time is the most important. From there, they can track violations and behavioral issues and attempt to locate the owner. Don’t just post it on next Door, file the complaint even if you don’t see the owner or know who they are.  https://northcentralnews.net/2019/features/off-leash-dogs-are-causing-problems/

This message comes to us on January 23 from Desert Cove & Friends block watch (located just north of Shea)

If you have mailboxes on the street, please watch your mail. Another rash of mailbox thefts – we think they are after the stimulus debit cards.

It is a white female 20-30 wearing a backpack walking looking like she belongs in the area. Walks down the street and hits all of the mailboxes just before dawn or early am. 

She hit my area (the week of Jan 11) and north of Cactus (Wed night) so your area might be next. She is working between 36th and 40th Street. She seems to know the area well. 

Stealing mail is a federal crime so feds and local PD are involved.
