Fraud Alert:
Scammers are impersonating trusted organizations to steal personal and financial information through a tactic called Smishing. These fraudulent text messages often create urgency, demanding immediate payment and directing you to fake websites. Recently, a surge of spam messages has been posing as SunPass, falsely claiming overdue toll payments and threatening to revoke driver’s licenses if left unpaid. If you receive a suspicious message claiming to be from SunPass, do not click any links and log in directly to your SunPass account to verify any outstanding payments.

Vote for the Zoo!
Our friends at Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens have been nominated by USA TODAY as one of the Best Zoos in the country! For over 100 years, they’ve led the way in conservation, education, and animal wellness. We’re proud to have such a world-class institution right here in our community. Help them claim the top spot by voting daily through March 10th.
