William Bowers joins Coastal Heritage Bank as Senior Vice President, Commercial Lending

Coastal Heritage Bank is pleased to announce that William Bowers has joined the bank as Senior Vice President, Commercial Lending.  Mr. Bowers will be responsible for commercial lending in the bank’s Eastern Massachusetts market with a particular emphasis on commercial real estate lending.

Mr. Bowers joins the bank from Hingham Institution for Savings where he was Vice President, Commercial Lending for the past 16 years.

Coastal Heritage Bank President & Chief Executive Officer Donald P. Gill commented, “The Board and senior management team are pleased to welcome someone of Bill’s caliber and experience to the bank.  He is a great addition to our commercial lending team and will do an exceptional job in meeting the varied needs of our commercial lending customers.”

Mr. Bowers is President and Chair of the Board for the Boys & Girls Club of Marshfield, currently chairs the Town of Marshfield Charter Review Committee and, along with his wife Nancy, was named Marshfield Citizen of the Year in 2014.  He is a resident of Marshfield along with his wife and three sons.

Scams in the name of charity

Scammers are creative, cunning and cruel — and they often mix in a little truth to spice up their big lies. This scheme shows just how low they can go.

Government imposters claiming to be with the FTC, or another agency like the fictitious “Consumer Protection Agency,” are calling to inform people they have won a huge sweepstakes from the Make-a-Wish Foundation, a well-known charity for very sick children. To get the money, the callers say, the “winner” must first pay thousands of dollars to cover taxes or insurance on the prize. The call may even come from a 202 (Washington, DC) area code to appear credible — since the headquarters for the FTC and most federal agencies are in DC.

This is just a scheme using the well-known names of Make-a-Wish and the FTC to rob thousands of dollars from people. Once you wire money or send banking information, you will never see your money again.

Here are a few facts and tips to protect yourself and others:

  • If someone asks you to wire money or provide your bank account information over the telephone, it’s a scam.
  • Anytime you have to pay to get a prize, it’s a scam.
  • The FTC doesn’t oversee sweepstakes and no FTC staff is involved in giving out sweepstakes prizes. We do, however, go after sweepstakes scams.
  • If an FTC case results in refunds, you can find the details at ftc.gov/redress.
  • The Make-a-Wish Foundation has information about this specific scam on its fraud alerts page.
  • If you encounter this or other scams, report it to the FTC at 1-877-FTC-HELP or ftc.gov/complaint.
  • Talk to your friends and family about scams. Visit FTC.gov/PassItOn to find out how.
