Roses are red. Violets are blue. Love happens fast. Red flags do too. If you’re going on an online date: Meet in public, let someone know your plans, and trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, leave. And call for help if needed. Your safety > their feelings. Have a happy and safe Valentine’s Day.

Edmonton police have released a new age-progression sketch asking for public assistance in finding Tania Murrell, who disappeared in 1983 after leaving Grovenor Elementary School at age six.

Can you help me track down this Alberta doctor? Recently a member of my family experienced a medical emergency on WestJet flight. A doctor on the flight helped, was so kind and compassionate. Would love to find him and say thank you! Direct flight - Cancun to Edmonton on Jan 3rd

@Brad_In_YYC I think It will be like having a one stop shop for all scam awareness tips and education. Resources. Tools to use to protect ourselves from scams. Tactics. Red flags.

@JulieMHelps My only concern is what information is going to be shared? Otherwise it sounds great!

So great to see an initiative like this on a national scale! Let’s talk about scams!

“Well, you caught me today.” That was the response from a local driver after getting busted for going 20 over in a school zone. His excuse? He was “daydreaming.” With school back in full swing, we want to remind drivers to get with the program. Be part of the solution and watch out for children and parents as they find their footing in the new school year. We’re Dead Serious about traffic safety. Are you?

Another day. Another text scam. Don’t fall for it. Don’t ever call the number or click the link.

To file a solar panel complaint, contact the company first. If unresolved, contact Service Alberta 1-877-427-4088 or the Alberta Utilities Commission for formal complaints related to utility billing or service issues. Document all interactions and names and dates.

Solar panels may seem like a good investment but there are more and more complaints about many of these door to door sales companies. Do your research! Is it really a good deal? Get quotes from other companies.

Back to school should not mean exposing children to identity theft and more. Please stop taking pics with those cute signs sharing too much info about your child. Don’t post them online. Text or email to family instead. #BackToSchool

A romance scam intervention. I met a stranger at Tim Hortons today. He reached out to me for help. He has fallen for a scam and doesn’t know what to do next. It’s a very sad story. Please talk to people in your life about this. #scams
