Students and teachers in the Business, Marketing and Finance class said they’re excited and proud to be part of a No. 1 program.

“It’s awesome that, you know, I got to participate in the number one business class in the state. And it’s wonderful. We don’t really get that much light down here and, you know, it’s great that we’re finally getting, you know, some light shinned down on us,” student Aaron Luquette said.

“It’s no words that can describe the feeling of just being proud of your community and just proud of your students. And so it’s a great feeling. This is what all teachers live for. They live for this. They live for the moment when their students are excelling. And that’s why you teach is because you see the potential in every student that walks into your classroom,” teacher Mercye Ranles said.

Range Bank talks to seniors about financial scams targeting them

MARQUETTE, Mich. (WLUC) – Range Bank held a presentation at Peter White Library to discuss scams with seniors and out to prevent fraud from occurring.

The presentation was part of the Fall Financial Literacy Series Peter White is holding for seniors. Range Bank discussed the most common types of scams targeting seniors and even young people. Everything from check fraud to text and phone scams was covered, as well as what to do if you feel you have been defrauded.

Range Bank’s Community Outreach Coordinator Hanna Westra says scammers use many tactics to defraud someone because, for many, it is their job.

“They get a paycheck, they work for a company usually, and they might get a bonus or whatever if they get someone to fall for these scams,” Westra said. “So, these people are professionals and they are always getting that latest new technology because they want to scam people.”

Westra says to always call your bank if you ever feel you have become a victim of a scam.
