Community Is Everything to Scott Everett

It’s no secret that our Founder and President Scott Everett is passionate about community. In addition to cultivating the culture here at Supreme and supporting the local community home to our Dallas headquarters, he is very involved in his hometown of Laconia, New Hampshire.

In an article (linked below) recently published by The Laconia Daily Sun, you can read about Scott’s lifelong history in the area and feel his deep love for and commitment to revitalizing the Lakeport community. Over the past five years, Scott has spearheaded exciting development projects in the village, including the historic renovation of the town’s landmark Opera House. He has several other plans in the works in collaboration with the city to enrich the Lakes Region for years to come. Read on to learn more about Scott!

Reminder: How to Identify and Avoid Package Delivery Scams

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. 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.

If you have any questions regarding this tip, please contact Information Security via Mark.Nagiel@SupremeLending.com. Thanks for participating in the information security effort!
