AP Wealth Management

Gene, Mac, Catherine, Pat and Ted Hanson participated in the Heroes for Hope 5K benefitting Child Enrichment this past Saturday on the Augusta Canal. They pushed a couple of young ladies with reduced mobility using Kartus all-terrain wheelchairs. The chairs were acquired through the generosity of 100 Men Who Care and AP Wealth. If you’d like to participate in future races or contribute to increasing our fleet of chairs, please contact Pat Fair at [email protected]

100 Men Who Care of Augusta’s most recent donations were presented to Garrett Elementary and the Hale Foundation. 100 Men Who Care raises money for those in need in our local community. Clayton, Pat, Gene, and Tom are all members as well as several of our clients. If you’d like more information, please email Tom.

Recently, a few of our clients have reported increasingly sophisticated scamming attempts.

There are many warning signs for scams. A few of them are:

• Pressure to act immediately
• Request for personal information
• Payments via unusual methods such as gift cards or wire
transfers
• Contact about prizes or problems with accounts
Actions to take if a scam is suspected:
• Hang up or ignore messages
• Do not click links or provide information
• Verify any proposition independently
• Trust your instincts – if it sounds too good to be true, it is

We highly recommend freezing your credit to prevent scammers from opening unauthorized accounts.
