Stay cool, Central Oregon!

Farmers markets, festivals, concerts, and weekend events are part of what makes summer in Central Oregon so special. While you’re enjoying local produce, music, makers, and community fun, it’s also a good time to keep fraud prevention in mind.

Busy crowds and quick payments can create opportunities for card skimming, stolen wallets, unsafe digital payments, and fake QR codes. A little awareness can help protect your money while you support local vendors.

Before you pay, remember to:
• Use contactless or chip-enabled payments when possible
• Keep wallets, phones, and cards zipped and close
• Avoid banking or shopping over public Wi-Fi
• Turn on transaction alerts to catch unfamiliar charges quickly
