Supreme Will Be Closed Thursday, November 24, for Thanksgiving
In observance of Thanksgiving, Supreme’s offices will be closed Thursday, November 24, 2022. Thanksgiving isn’t considered a business day and cannot be included in the recession period for refinances or waiting periods.
As a federal holiday, banks will not be open for business; therefore, the Wire Desk will be unable to process wires and the Lock Desk will not issue a rate sheet. As a reminder, all locks must be valid through the disbursement date. Please be sure to request any necessary extensions to accommodate the rescission period as well as the lock expiration date.

Tip of the Week: How to Identify and Avoid Package Delivery Scams
It’s that time of the year (yes… already!) when shoppers around the world begin ordering gifts for holiday celebrations. But beware, delivery scams and package theft become more prevalent during the holiday season.
Delivery scams can start as a text message or email about delivering a package to your address with a “tracking link” that you are urged to click on to update your delivery or payment preferences. You may also receive a voicemail message with a callback number or even a “missed delivery” tag on your door with a number to call. While these messages often look or sound legitimate, you should never click a link, open an attachment, or call back a number from an unexpected delivery notice. Contact the delivery service or seller directly using a verified number or website.
Here are some additional warning signs of package delivery scams:
- Unexpected requests for money in return for delivery of a package, often with a sense of urgency.
- Requests for additional personal and/or financial information.
- Links to misspelled or slightly altered website addresses, such as “fedx.com” or “fed-ex.com.”
- Spelling and grammatical errors or excessive use of capitalization and exclamation points.
- Lack of the padlock symbol and HTTPS in a URL.
Scammers are often very clever and will go to great lengths to deceive you. Be suspicious of any unexpected package delivery notice and report them to your security team.

Hometown: I am from a small town called Grass Lake, Michigan. How small you might ask? We only have 3 stop lights in the entire township.- First Job: My first job was at a McDonald’s when I was in high school. I started in the kitchen and worked into a leadership position before graduating university.
- History With Supreme: My history with Supreme is rather interesting. I was originally working for AMEC before Supreme acquired the company back in 2020. I was placed with the Service Desk, then transitioned to security shortly after. I relocated to Texas from Michigan and have been here ever since.
- Favorite Thing About Supreme: I enjoy the sincere appreciation I receive from not only management, but also the people I work with every day.

- How to Turn a Bad Into a Good One: I’ve found baking to be an incredible stress reliever.
- Favorite Vacation Destination: I absolutely love Michigan during fall. The weather is perfect, the colors are stunning, and they have the best homemade apple cider and donuts.
- Hobbies and Special Interests: Outside of Super Smash Bros. Melee, I also enjoy chess, tennis, and am always down for a round of euchre.
