The Ebensburg Borough Police would like to remind area residents of the re-emergence of seasonal scams.

Valentine’s Day brings more than cards and candy. It’s also a favorite time for cybercriminals to launch phishing scams.



Scammers use emotional or seasonal messages to trick users into clicking.



Common subject lines include “Secret Valentine Gift,” “Delivery Issue,” or “Someone Sent You an E-Card.” These messages often lead to fake websites, malware downloads, or credential theft.



Top Valentine’s Day scams to watch for:

Fake shipping emails from flower shops or online stores
Malicious e-cards claiming to be from anonymous senders
Romance scams targeting employees on social platforms
Gift card fraud emails that appear to come from company leaders
“Limited-time offers” that steal personal or business data
These tactics work because they look familiar and feel urgent. One wrong click can open the door to ransomware, data theft, or a network breach.

To stay cyber safe, do not open unsolicited emails or click on attachments from unknown senders.

WINTER REMINDERS FROM THE EBENSBURG BOROUGH POLICE DEPARTMENT
1. All vehicles must be parked WITH the flow of traffic. This means that your passenger side door is to be against the curb and driver side door must be open to the roadway. This violation, by itself, carries a fine of $15.00 and will be enforced YEAR-ROUND.

2. If the sidewalk is part of your driveway, you cannot park on the sidewalk part of your driveway. A fine of $15.00 for blocking the sidewalk may be incurred.

3. When shoveling snow from your sidewalk or driveway, you cannot throw the snow onto the street. A fine of up to $600.00 may be incurred.

5. You are not allowed to plow snow from your property onto borough streets. A fine of up to $600.00 may be incurred.

6. Shovel the sidewalks full width to the bare pavement and clear curb cuts at corners and crosswalks.

7. When Winter Parking is in effect and you move your car to the opposite side of the street, try to avoid lining it up directly across from another car in case emergency vehicles need to get through.

8. Winter Parking regulations will once again be in effect when staff deem it necessary.
*This will be posted on the borough website, the Ebensburg Borough & Community page, and by calling the office and selecting option #5 to hear a recording of the
status of winter parking.
*You may also ask borough staff during office hours of 8 am to 4 pm, Monday - Friday.

Additionally, if there are neighbors on your street who are elderly, have a disability, or may have a hard time shoveling for any reason, please work with your neighbors to lend a hand and ensure your entire block is safe and accessible to all.
If you are looking to hire someone to help with shoveling, contact the borough office for a list of names at 814-472-8780.
