THANK YOU. IRANIAN HACKERS SENT STOLEN DONALD TRUMP CAMPAIGN MATERIAL TO THE BIDEN CAMPAIGN THIS SUMMER. FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT, INCLUDING THE FBI, LAID OUT THE DETAILS OF A CYBER ATTACK IN LATE JUNE AND EARLY JULY. AUTHORITIES SAY MALICIOUS ACTORS SENT UNSOLICITED MATERIAL FROM TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN TO PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH BIDEN’S CAMPAIGN. THERE’S NO INDICATION THAT BIDEN’S STAFF REPLIED. THE AGENCIES SAY THE HACK IS ONE OF SEVERAL EFFORTS BY THE IRANIAN GOVERNMENT ATTEMPTING TO QUOTE, UNDERMINE CONFIDENCE IN OUR ELECTORAL PROCESS. WITH LESS THAN 50 DAYS UNTIL THE ELECTION, ANDERSON COUNTY HAS AN URGENT NEED FOR POLL WORKERS. ACCORDING TO COUNTY OFFICIALS, SOUTH CAROLINA SUGGESTS THE COUNTY EMPLOY 800 POLL WORKERS BEFORE NOVEMBER. BUT RIGHT NOW, ANDERSON ONLY HAS AROUND 500. WITHOUT THE PROPER STAFFING, VOTERS CAN EXPECT LONGER LINES AND WAITS. THE COUNTY’S PRECINCT DIRECTOR SAYS POLL WORKERS ARE PAID, AND ANYONE ABOVE THE AGE OF 16 CAN BE A PART OF THAT PROCESS. IF YOU WANT TO FIND MORE INFORMATION, YOU CAN VISIT WYFF 4.COM, WHERE YOU’LL FIND A LINK TO THE COUNTY’S WEBSITE. WELL, MORE PEOPLE APPLIED FOR MORTGAGES LEADING UP TO THE FED RATE CUT. TOTAL MORTGAGE APPLICATIONS NATIONWIDE SHOT UP 14.2% LAST WEEK COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS WEEK. THAT’S ACCORDING TO THE MORTGAGE BANKERS ASSOCIATION. APPLICATIONS TO REFINANCE A HOME LOAN WERE UP 24%, WHILE MORTGAGE APPLICATIONS FOR A NEW HOME PURCHASE WERE UP 5%. AND THAT WILL PLAY A ROLE IN THE HOUSING MARKET AS A WHOLE AS WELL. IN FACT, DESPITE COSTS BEING LOWER IN MOST CATEGORIES, HOUSING PRICES HAVE REMAINED STUBBORNLY HIGH, AND THAT’S LEADING TO A SUPPLY PROBLEM ACROSS THE COUNTRY, WHERE MORE HOMEOWNERS ARE CHOOSING TO STAY IN THEIR CURRENT HOMES INSTEAD OF UPGRADING. AN UPSTATE FINANCIAL EXPERT SAYS IT’S IMPORTANT TO BUDGET FOR THE RATES AS THEY STAND TODAY, NOT FOR WHERE THEY COULD BE IN THE FUTURE. THAT YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER DECISION YOU MAKE FINANCIALLY, YOU CAN AFFORD THAT DECISION TODAY AND IT’S NOT PREDICATED ON THE FACT THAT MAYBE I’LL GET A MUCH LOWER INTEREST RATE IN THE FUTURE AND I CAN REFINANCE OR WHATNOT. SO MAKE YOUR DECISIONS TODAY BASED ON TODAY’S ENVIRONMENT AND WHETHER YOU CAN AFFORD WHATEVER PURCHASE YOU WANT TO MAKE IN TODAY’S ENVIRONMENT. AS OF LAST WEEK, THE 30 YEAR FIXED MORTGAGE RATE AVERAGED 6.2%. THAT’S ACCORDING TO DATA FROM FREDDIE MAC. 648 IS YOUR TIME IN PENDLETON POLICE SAY THEY’RE TRYING TO FIND A 20 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO HAS NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE AUGUST. THE CHIEF SAYS JESSICA BARNES WAS REPORTED MISSING EARLIER THIS MONTH BY HER MOTHER, BUT SHE HAS NOT BEEN SEEN SINCE THE 1ST OF AUGUST. NOW, POLICE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT WHERE SHE IS AND CALLED IT UNUSUAL THAT SHE HAS NOT POSTED ON SOCIAL MEDIA OR BEEN IN CONTACT WITH FAMILY TONIGHT. THE FAMILY AND THE COMMUNITY IS HOLDING A PRAYER VIGIL FOR JESSICA. DETAILS ON THAT CAN BE FOUND ON WYFF 4.COM. NOW TO A NEW ROZEN IN 60 WHERE SCAMS AND FRAUD COST US BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR. CHIEF NATIONAL CONSUMER CORRESPONDENT JEFF ROSSEN IS CRUNCHING THOSE NUMBERS ON WHICH AGE GROUPS ARE GETTING HIT AND HOW THEY’RE BEING TARGETED. HI. YEAH. AMERICANS LOST MORE THAN $10 BILLION TO FRAUD IN 2023. THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION SAYS THAT’S THE MOST EVER REPORTED. SO HOW ARE SCAMMERS REACHING YOU? AND WHO’S THE BIGGEST TARGET? WE LOOKED AT THE FTC DATA SO FAR IN 2020 FOR SENIORS 80 AND ABOVE. YOU’RE JUST LOSING THE MOST MONEY GETTING SLAMMED. IF YOU AVERAGE IT OUT, IT’S ABOUT $1,500. A PERSON IN THAT AGE GROUP. AMERICANS 70 AND OLDER ENCOUNTER FRAUD THE MOST BY PHONE AND PAY WITH THEIR CREDIT CARDS ONLINE SHOPPING, OFTEN THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA. BIG FOR FRAUD FOR PEOPLE 30 TO 69 YEARS OLD. THEY’RE ALSO PAYING WITH CREDIT CARDS. THINGS CHANGE FOR EVERYONE 29 AND YOUNGER. YES, THEY FALL VICTIM THE MOST TO ONLINE SHOPPING SCAMS, BUT THEY’RE MOST OFTEN PAYING WITH PAYMENT APPS. A BIG PROBLEM BECAUSE IT’S HARDER TO RECOVER LOSSES FOR THEM AND BY THE WAY, PEOPLE 19 AND UNDER, THEY’RE JUST LOSING AROUND $200 TO FRAUD PER PERSON. HEAD TO ROSSEN REPORTS.COM. SIGN UP FOR MY NEWSLETTER. I’M GOING TO SEND YOU TIPS TO AVOID THESE SCAMS AND SOME EXCLUSIVE DEALS. BACK TO YOU. OKAY GOOD MORNING EVERYONE. HAPPY THURSDAY.
