Impostors Are Scamming LADWP Customers By Phone

Persistent phone scammers are deceiving LADWP customers into paying non-existent water and power bills with threats of immediate service shut off. Don’t fall victim to phone scammers posing as LADWP “collection” personnel.

• LADWP employees will NEVER ask for personal payment information over the telephone. They will never ask you to purchase pre-paid cash cards from a convenience store to pay your utility bill.
• Payment by telephone can ONLY happen through the Department’s voice automated payment system, not with live employees. LADWP personnel do not accept payment information verbally over the telephone.
• If you get a call asking for a cash card or credit card number or other personal financial information, hang up and call LAPD.

Safety and service excellence are of utmost importance to LADWP. Victimization of our customers will not be tolerated. Impostors can expect to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Dear Residents,

A small white dog with a blue harness and leash was found yesterday afternoon in the 1600 block of North Beverly Glen.

Dear Residents,

Please come support the community and help save some of the landmark trees. Organized by Richard Renaldo of Beverly Glen Realty. The meeting is TONIGHT at Les and Dorothy River Community Center located at 10409 Scenario Lane (almost at the corner of Scenario Lane and Beverly Glen Place).

Meeting start time is 7:30pm.

We look forward to your positive ideas and support,

Sharalee Flesche, Social Chair

Date: Monday, January 27, 2014

Time: 5:15pm

Where: LAFD Station 71

As you may have noticed, tree cutting services hired by the City under the direction of LAFD have begun cutting trees up and down the Glen.  RoBG spent alot of time last year with LAFD to come up with procedures to trim trees for safety while keeping their aesthetics but now it seems a new LAFD inspector wishes to throw out that hard work from all parties.

RoBG has arranged a meeting at Fire Station 71 (Beverly Glen and Sunset) at 5:15pm on Monday, January 27, 2014, we need as many residents as possible attending to support RoBG and SMMC Representative in encouraging LAFD to once again demonstrate we can achieve safety and beauty.

Check out these photos of chopped trees, note the black paint they use to “hide” the chopping.

Good evening residents,

There is a large short haired dog running on the street in the vicinity of the 2400 block of N Beverly Glen Blvd.

No other details or pictures are available but it almost got hit by a local resident.

Kindest regards,

Sharalee

Though crime in our Beverly Glen Community is down, the West side of L.A. is seeing a rise in residential burglaries. It is always best to be proactive and prepared. Please read the information below from LAPD.
“There has been a series of Residential Burglaries developing in the West Los Angeles Area. The suspects typically will knock or ring the doorbell to verify if the resident is home. When there is no answer the suspects enter the side or rear of the residence and force entry by smashing the window or door glass to gain entry. Suspects are targeting the master bed and bath areas of the home and removing Jewelry and small electronics.
• ALARMS: Ensure that security alarms are in good working order and set when not at home whether leaving for 10 minutes or 10 hours.
• ALARM RESPONSE: Consider a private patrol alarm response to enhance your current alarm and security system. In many cases private patrols are already contracted in many neighborhoods or associations.
• SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS: Web based surveillance camera systems will allow homeowners to view and monitor activity from any smartphone or computer which are motion sensor activated and will alert your device when there is activity. They also lend valuable information and clues to the investigation.
• GATES: Ensure that all gates and access points to the side or rear of the residence are locked and secured.
• DOOR AND WINDOW LOCKS: Ensure that all doors and windows are locked and secured with sturdy secured locks and that there are second locking mechanisms securing all doors and windows as a second line of defense.
• MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOU’RE HOME…Even when you’re not.
• NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH: Monitor suspicious activities in your neighborhood and alert your neighbors. Should the activity escalate to a crime about to occur, crime in progress or crime that just occurred, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY!
