Holiday Safety Reminder for Boca Pointe Residents
• The holiday season is a time of joy, family, and celebration. It’s also a time when criminals and hackers look for opportunities to take advantage of distractions. At Boca Pointe, we want to ensure that everyone enjoys the season safely and securely.
Protect Your Access Code
• Never share your personal access code with anyone. Treat it like a house key, keeping it private.
Report Suspicious Activity
• Report any suspicious person, vehicle, or activity immediately to Access Control.
• Provide details when reporting, note descriptions such as clothing, vehicle type, or license plate numbers.
• Trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s better to report it than ignore it.
• Quick reporting helps keep Boca Pointe safe for all residents.
General Safety Tips
• Lock doors and windows even if you’re stepping out briefly.
• Keep outdoor areas well-lit to deter unwanted visitors.
• Secure valuables inside your home and avoid leaving them visible in vehicles.
• Stay connected. Share safety reminders with neighbors and check in on one another during the busy season.
Stay Cyber-Smart
• Beware of phishing emails. These often look like shipping notifications or holiday deals.
• Avoid clicking links or downloading attachments from unknown senders.
• Never share personal information such as passwords, Social Security numbers, or bank details over email or phone.
• Use strong passwords and enable two-factor authentication where possible.
• When in doubt, don’t click, don’t share, and don’t respond.
Holiday Deliveries & Guests
• With more packages arriving this season, be mindful of possible porch theft. Pick up deliveries promptly.
• Remind guests to follow Boca Pointe’s community rules when entering.
• If you’re traveling, let a trusted neighbor know and consider holding mail or packages.
