Santa Cruz County Warns Residents of Email Payment Scam

Santa Cruz County, AZ -Santa Cruz County officials are alerting residents to a scam involving fraudulent emails that appear to come from County departments and request payment.  Santa Cruz County has documented one fraudulent event and will work with the Arizona Attorney General's office on any investigation.

If you receive an email requesting payment from any Santa Cruz County department, you may verify its legitimacy by calling the County and confirming directly with the department before making any payment. Santa Cruz County will never request payment through email links or wire transfers.   If you have confirmed with the County that it is fraudulent, please report it to the Arizona Attorney General's Office.  

Identifying and Reporting Fraudulent Emails

Scam emails may look official and use department names, logos, or urgent language to pressure you to act quickly. Always check the sender’s email address, as fraudulent messages often come from addresses that do not match official Santa Cruz County domains.

If you receive a suspicious email:

  • Do not click on any links.
  • Do not provide personal or financial information.
  • Do not send payments by wire transfer.
  • Contact Santa Cruz County and confirm the request with the relevant department before responding.

Residents can verify payment requests by calling 520-375-7800.

Santa Cruz County is committed to protecting resident information and encourages everyone to remain vigilant against scams.

More information on fraud and scams can be found on the Arizona Attorney General's website: https://www.azag.gov/consumeruds.

NANCY NELSON, President of the Tubac Rotary Club

an INTRODUCTION TO THE NEW 2025-6 PRESIDENT

Where did you live prior to Tubac and how did you come to live here? 


 I was born and raised in North Dakota, then my husband Jim got a job in Illinois right out of college and we have lived there since. My degree was in social work and Gerontology and my career was spent working on programs to keep older persons in their home as long and safely as possible. As Jim and I began to look to retirement we visited my brother John in Tubac and found it be a very nice community  to spend our winters. We were pleased that my other brother and my sister also are wintering in Tubac as well as our closes family friends. We have two sons who live in NH and CA and nine grandchildren who love to visit in Tubac and many of them are golfers.


What's the Rotary Club about, it's history and how it works to benefit others ? 

Being part of a Rotary Club is more that just giving back to your community. By volunteering each member utilizing their skills, experience, and enthusiasm to the volunteer effort, as well as make many friends along the way. Just in the Tubac Rotary Club we have a wide variety of professions, hobbies and volunteer experience. When those skill come together, they help make our fundraising projects a success for the Tubac community. 


What can one expect if they became a member of the Tubac Rotary Club? 

The first thing that members feel after joining the club is a sense of service to the community of Tubac and surrounding area.  We spend time planning for events and fundraiser, providing an opportunity know each other. The most rewarding part of membership is when we are distributing the funds to organizations. That presentation of funds is as meaningful to members as it is to the recipients. Our largest donation goes to scholarships, then we provide volunteer and monetary support to the Cleft Palat Clinic and the Amado Youth Center.  Our largest fundraise, Taste of Tubac, is a signature event in Tubac and the Golf Resort. Our other major fundraiser is the Swing for Kids golf outing to be held on January 19. As an added bonus to a member, is that the group likes to have fun! 


How do you become a member? 

Our meetings are held in the Apache room at Stables on Fridays. We have an optional breakfast at 7:30 and the meeting meets at 8. If interested, visit our meetings to meet the club members, learn about our service projects and hear our weekly speakers. Then after a completed application we have a welcome celebration.

THE HISTORIC VALLE VERDE RANCH

The Hidden Gem of Tubac

The Historic Valle Verde Ranch offers a unique blend of history and nature for travelers seeking a peaceful escape. Built in 1938, this beautifully preserved adobe ranch is surrounded by the modern-day Tubac Barrio, yet retains its old-world charm on six serene acres.

The Ranch features three individual guest units, plus the original three bedroom, adobe house, all filled with character and echoes of the past. Whether you're an artist, historian, or avid birder, the private four-acre mesquite bosque (forest) provides the perfect place to relax and soak in the tranquil surroundings. Wander through the property, and you'll find yourself at the historic Anza Trail, where you can choose your own adventure -- head  North to Tubac Village and the Presidio State Park or head South to the Tumacacori National Historic Park and Mission, built in 1681, a scenic three mile hike along the Santa Cruz River.

For bird lovers, Valle Verde Ranch is recognized by the Tucson Audubon Society as a "cardinal level" premium birding habitat, making it a prime spot to observe both resident and migrating birds, along with other Arizona wildlife. It's a hidden gem for those who love a mix of history, nature, and wildlife."

(520) 697-6314

Travel to its edge and you will be greeted by the historic Anza Trail that runs directly to Tubac or Tumacacori, your choice!
