ONE OF THE GREATEST GOLFERS TO EVER LIVE – LOOKING TO LEAVE A MARK IN PHILADELPHIA. BUT INSTEAD OF ON THE COURSE – IT’S IN THE CLASSROOM. EARLIER THIS YEAR – TIGER WOODS’ FOUNDATION EXPANDED ITS T-G-R LEARNING LAB TO THE COBBS CREEK GOLF COURSE – BRINGING SAFE, LEARNING SPACES TO UNDERSERVED KIDS. CBS NEWS PHILADELPHIA’S DAN SNYDER WAS THERE TODAY – AS WOODS GOT A LOOK AT THE CENTER’S IMPACT.

Jamila Kinsey / Daughter goes to TGR Learning Lab
(4;27 – 29) It’s been a godsend for her.
JAMILA KINSEY SAYS HER DAUGHTER AMIRA – IS ALMOST ALWAYS AT THE SMILOW-WOODLAND TGR LEARNING LAB. IT’S A SHORT WALK FROM THEIR OVERBROOK PARK HOME – AND GIVES HER A PLACE TO PREPARE FOR COLLEGE.
Jamila Kinsey / Daughter goes to TGR Learning Lab
(6;05 – 09) Knowing that when she’s here, she’s taken care of, they keep her safe.
SINCE OPENING IN APRIL – THE STEAM CENTER HAS HOSTED THOUSANDS OF KIDS – WITH A FOCUS ON THOSE FROM UNDERSERVED NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY CAN LEARN ABOUT EVERYTHING FROM MUSIC PRODUCTION – TO FORENSIC SCIENCE – ROBOTICS AND MORE. FATIMA CHOUDERY SAID SHE ASKED HER FELLOW STUDENTS HOW THEY’D DESCRIBE THE CENTER.
Fatima Choudery / Student at TGR Learning Lab
(39;10 – 15) the one word that stood out the most, home.
ON MONDAY – ONE MAN WHO HELPED MAKE THIS ALL HAPPEN – PAID THE LAB A VISIT. TIGER WOODS.
Tiger Woods
(42;35 – 45) I didn’t start the foundation to produce golfers that hit golf balls. I started the foundation to produce the greatest humans possible.
THIS IS WOODS’ SECOND LEARNING LAB – BUT WHY COBBS CREEK? A MAJOR INFLUENCE WAS CHARLIE SIFFORD – THE FIRST BLACK GOLFER TO PLAY ON THE P-G-A TOUR. SIFFORD WAS A MENTOR TO WOODS – SOMEONE HE SAID WAS LIKE A GRANDFATHER TO HIM.
Tiger Woods
(41;56 – 04) I think there’s no greater respect that I can give the man than naming my child, Charlie, after him.
AND WHILE GOLF MIGHT NOT BE THE FOCUS – IT’S HARD TO MISS.
Dan Snyder / CBS News Philadelphia
(8;26 – 37) Just outside the center is this turf practice course, and behind me the short course, set to open this fall. All part of a bigger renovation of the Cobbs Creek Golf Course.
THE COBBS CREEK FOUNDATION TOOK OVER RESTORATION OF THE SITE AFTER IT CLOSED IN 2019. THE HISTORIC COURSE WAS ONE OF THE FEW THAT ALLOWED ALL RACES – ETHNICITIES – AND GENDERS TO PLAY. FOUNDATION LEADERS SAY A DRIVING RANGE AND RESTAURANT WILL OPEN LATER THIS YEAR – WITH THE 18-HOLE CHAMPIONSHIP OLDE COURSE SLATED TO DEBUT IN 2027.
Christopher Macguire / Chairman – Cobbs Creek Foundation
(13;50 – 58) Cobbs Creek will be a destination for public golf in Philadelphia, and will be a future site for a regular PGA Tour stop
BUT IMPORTANTLY – FOUNDATION CHAIRMAN CHRISTOPHER MACGUIRE SAYS THEY PLAN FOR REVENUE FROM THE GOLF OPERATION TO FUND THE LEARNING LAB. AND WOODS SAYS WHILE THE LAB IS OFF TO A GOOD START – THEY HAVE MORE WORK TO DO.
Tiger Woods
(43;28 – 36) There are about 2,000 kids within the radius here that could come here. You’re impacting all their lives just by you being here.

TEXT MESSAGES ARE THE NUMBER ONE METHOD OF CONTACT FOR ALL FRAUD REPORTS — ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION.
AND AS MANY OF US CAN PROBABLY ATTEST TO — OUR PHONES SEEM TO BE GOING OFF MORE AND MORE THESE DAYS WITH DIFFERENT TYPES OF THESE SORTS OF SCAMS.
MICHAEL YOSHIDA JOINS US LIVE TO TALK ABOUT THE RISING NUMBER OF THESE MESSAGES AND HOW ONE PARTICULAR SCAM IS A GROWING WORRY FOR EXPERTS GIVEN THE STATE OF THE ECONOMY. MICHAEL?
–MICHAEL ONCAM—
IN TODAY’S SHAKY ECONOMY AND LABOR MARKET — PEOPLE MAY BE TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO EARN AN EXTRA BUCK OR EVEN… LAND A NEW, BETTER PAYING JOB.
AND THAT’S WHERE THE CONCERN RISES BECAUSE ACCORDING TO DATA FROM THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION — JOB AND EMPLOYMENT SCAMS ARE ON THE RISE THIS YEAR.
–REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS—
IN THE FIRST HALF OF 20-25, THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION’S DATA SHOWS MORE THAN 235-THOUSAND TEXT MESSAGE SCAMS WERE REPORTED IN THE U-S — RESULTING IN 342 MILLION DOLLARS IN LOSSES.
Terri Miller, Consumer Education Specialist, Federal Trade Commission: “It’s not hard to look down at your phone when you get a ding of a text message, and scammers bet on that.”
AMONG THE MANY TYPES OF THESE SCAMS — FAKE JOB OR EMPLOYMENT TEXTS.
Terri Miller, Consumer Education Specialist, Federal Trade Commission: “It might sound really interesting, a great opportunity.” // “they will say things like they’re a recruiter from a well-known company.”
IN QUARTER ONE OF THIS YEAR — THE F-T-C SAYS THERE WERE ABOUT 29-THOUSAND REPORTS OF JOB OR EMPLOYMENT TEXT SCAMS — AND ITS ON THE RISE.
AND WITH AN ECONOMY WHERE MORE PEOPLE MAY BE LOOKING FOR A SIDE HUSTLE TO EARN EXTRA CASH OR EVEN A NEW JOB — IT CAN BE TEMPTING TO REPLY.
Terri Miller, Consumer Education Specialist, Federal Trade Commission: “But there’s always going to be this ask that you reply with personal information or financial information to pay you.// What the scammer really wants is to steal your money or your identity. So just make sure you’re not clicking those links and not responding to those text messages.”
OTHER THINGS TO REMEMBER IF YOU GET A SUSPICIOUS TEXT.
TAKE A PAUSE.
YOU MAY WANT TO RUSH TO RESPOND SO YOU DON’T MISS THE OPPORTUNITY BUT RELAX, IS IT TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?
MAYBE EVEN SHOW IT TO A FRIEND AND GET THEIR OPINION.
RESEARCH THE NUMBER. HAVE OTHERS REPORTED IT?
SEE IF THE COMPANY EXISTS AND IS ACTUALLY HIRING.
AND — IF YOU DECIDE IT’S A SCAM — REPORT IT.
ALONG WITH CLICKING THE REPORT AS SCAM OPTION ON YOUR PHONE. YOU CAN ALSO GO TO F-T-C.GOV AND CLICK THE REPORT FRAUD TAB TO FILE A REPORT.
IN WASHINGTON, MICHAEL YOSHIDA.
