Hello.

We are aware of several scams that are currently being foisted on our local businesses and residents.

We all need to be vigilant online. Recently, we have been contacted by Chamber members who received an email identified as coming from the Pasadena Chamber with a link to download a document to sign. THIS IS A SCAM. Note the return email address is not an @pasadena-chamber.org address. 

This is what some received: 

The Pasadena Police Department will begin closing the route used for the annual Rose Parade effective 10 p.m., Sunday, December 31, 2017. The closures will occur along Colorado Boulevard, at Orange Grove Boulevard, east to Sierra Madre Boulevard; and up Sierra Madre Boulevard to Paloma Street.

The Pasadena Public Health Department reports that we currently do not have any outbreak related cases of Hepatitis A in Pasadena and are not recommending all food service providers get hepatitis A vaccine.

However, adults who wish to be vaccinated should ask their doctor about it. They can also visit the Pasadena Public Health Department website for our Immunization Clinic hours and price list.  For current information about the outbreak, this link is updated weekly:
