Concert in the Park

Dance the night away to the sounds of "Brass from the Past." Brass from the past is one of Chicago's best cover bands. This is no ordinary band! The band performs the music of your soul and brings you back to the 60s, 70s, and 80s. This event is supported by Palos Fine Arts and Republic Bank. Grounds open at 6:00 pm. Band plays on the Village Green (8901 W. 123rd Street) from 7:00 to 9:00 pm. Bring your own food, beverages, blankets and/or chairs. No picnic tables will be provided.

Palos Park Police is warning residents to be aware of the following Scam.

Email Scam: Driver’s License Verification
 
 How It Works:
 
The Driver’s License Verification scam targets victims through a link in their email and asks them to verify their license for an annual verification. Depending on the country you live in, the scammer who contacts you pretends to be part of one of the following: AAA (American Automobile Association in the United States), DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency in the United Kingdom), CAA (Canada Automobile Association), or Australian Automobile Association.
 
This scam is intended to trick drivers into providing personal details. Victims are informed that their driver’s license needs to be updated this year, as a result of a new change in legislation.
 
Criminals provide a link which opens a page that resembles the website of the government automotive regulation agency from your state/province. The page features a fill-in form where victims are invited to put all their personal information.

Here is an example of an actual scam email:

Subject: Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles - License flagged and limited
ILDMV
Attention: Your driver's license has been flagged and limited due to a new server upgrade on Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles.
Please validate your records to avoid termination of license.

Sincerely,
Illinois Department of Motor Vehicles
