Phone Scam Alert: Beware of the "Say Yes" Scheme

It may be hard to believe, but you can be scammed by simply saying YES.
We want to warn you about a phone scam designed to catch you off guard.

It often starts with a call from an unknown number that appears to be local. The caller typically claims to be from a legitimate financial institution, agency, or organization, and they ask a simple question like, “Can you hear me?” or “Is this (your name)?”

Their goal is to get you to say “yes” — which can then be recorded and misused to authorize charges or lead to more scam attempts.

How to protect yourself:

Don’t answer calls from unfamiliar numbers, even if they look local. Let it go to voicemail.

Hang up if a caller asks vague or suspicious questions.

Avoid saying “yes” to any unsolicited callers.

Stay safe and spread the word.

Great place for coffee and a sweet treat. Plenty of comfortable seating for book reading or catching up on email.

Biscotti or "twice baked" are Italian almond biscuits originating in the city of Prato, Tuscany. They are twice-baked, oblong-shaped, dry, and crunchy. Delicious to dunk in espresso. Baked in house at Bean & Bloom ☕️
