These sellers send cheap, low-value items to real names and addresses, then leave fake “verified” reviews, often posing as the recipient.
It may look like a harmless delivery, like a keychain, some socks, a random kitchen gadget, but it’s often a red flag […]
There have been intermittent sittings of a bear in Poolesville, and we all share the responsibility to avoid conflicts with bears. The best way to avoid bear problems is to take precautions to not attract them in the first place. Trash and bird feeders are the most common attractants responsible for luring bears to human dwellings. Pet food, charcoal grills, fruit trees, and gardens may also attract bears. Once a bear finds […]
