Public internet isn’t secure. Here are some tips to protect your personal info when you’re out and online.
We are building a new branch in Lincoln, Illinois! The new office will be located at 710 Woodlawn Rd, Lincoln IL and we anticipate opening in the summer of 2022.
A particularly callused kind of scammer is targeting people at their most vulnerable moment: while trying to recover from a natural disaster.
Most of us are connected all the time. Smartphones, laptops, tablets, vehicles, and even our homes provide us with the ability to contact each other and our connected devices from anywhere. We have come to rely on the convenience this offers, but at what cost? When it is time to sell or dispose of one of these devices, what happens to all that information?
Work continues on the interior of our new office and it really is looking great! Our employees can now stand in their new workspaces and get a feel for how great it will look in a few short months!
The bricklayers have been busy this week on our new office. It is looking great!
Progress continues on the inside of our new office and our New Holland employees can now walk into their own area and visualize their furniture and work space.
Construction continues to be on track and outside stone/brick is the current project. We are thrilled with the new look and can't wait to open this fall!

Be on the lookout for a new email scam impersonating the IRS! The scammers are hoping you will open their email because you are anxious for your tax refund and will be caught off guard. The emails have the IRS logo and a subject line referencing "your refund".
Sometimes sharing is a good thing! When you receive that odd text, suspicious email or a phone call from a number you do not recognize, it is a good idea to share your experience with others. Perhaps someone in your family or friend group has had the same experience and can help you avoid a split second mistake that costs you money and/or your identity. Maybe by sharing your experience, you can save someone else from making that mistake. We are all bombarded with messages from everywhere all the time and the scammers hope to catch you at that moment you let your guard down.
