A new phone scam has been popping up recently, but with a strange new twist — your own number is calling you. Scammers are using this new tactic to phish for your personal information. Hundreds of residents in Central Valley, California, have reported receiving this scam phone call.
The “robodialer” dials and once the phone is answered, a person takes over on the other end asking them for personal information, like the last four digits of their Social Security number. The caller threatens that their AT&T® accounts have been compromised or will be closed, and that they must enter the last four digits of the account holder’s Social Security number for verification to keep it active.
In another variation, the scammer asks for information pertaining to setting up their voicemail account. No matter what variation of the call you receive, scammers are only after one thing — your personal information. This information can potentially help them hack your accounts or steal your identity.
The Better Business Bureau® (BBB) offers up the following tips to protect you from becoming victim to the next phone scam:
If you receive a scam phone call, report it to BBB Scam Tracker at www.bbb.org/scamtracker or the FCC at www.fcc.gov.

Wow… What is it about running that is so bad? How it get such a bad rap? Interesting conversation right?
Is it because its tough and takes effort? Is it because the first 2-3 miles kinda sucks? Yeah I said sucks. But I got your attention..
Isn’t that kinda like life? When you get started at most tasks it is soooooo hard, and it takes a ton of effort to get the ball moving. However, when we stay with it and keep ourselves doing the right things consistently, that things get moving a bit easier, and the momentum builds.
Wild Right? Crazy thought!
That such as in running our bodies become better conditioned, we learn from mistakes and we are better for ourselves, our families, and our businesses!
Confession: I used to be one of those guys that said, “I hate running, and the only thing that felt better about it, is when we stopped!” My dad you to say something similar, and would say, “Banging your head against the wall and running are very similar, both feel better when you stop!” -Jim Orr
However, I have come to realize that if you can carve 30-40 minutes several times a week out of your schedule to run, IT IS INCREDIBLE… Even if its a WOG!!!
Screen Time….
We have so much screen time anymore, that its incredible to to unplug, and take the time for ourselves. This time is refreshing “ME Time” that allows us to take deep breaths, and de-stress. I have also found it as great uninterrupted time for prayer, and or take catch up on books I have wanted to read. I leverage www.Audible .com to listen to the books on my headphones. ( Nothing wrong with learning, growing and becoming stronger all at the same time.
I want your feedback, let me know what you think?
On Friday, January 19th we had the pleasure to hear from Randall Lewis on his insights for the future of housing and projects in the Inland Empire! For the last 15 years or so, Randall has come out 1x per year to give us his insights and updates the projects the Lewis Corporation is working on. We love his talks because they are real, help us in directing our sails for the next 12-24 months.
Average attendance at WEREP.org is 75-100 Real Estate professionals, and when Randall comes, well, we bust out the room, averaging 300-345 people. So that should give some insight on how people value his opinion!
I will include here some nuggets from his talk, also let you know that we have the full video of the talk on our www.Facebook.com/TeamTitleGuy page for you to reference! While you are there, like our page!

Interesting quandary in in California, and several other states that have legalized Cannabis at the state level and the implications that come with it are quite, hmmm different.. Now, this talk is neither whether I am for nor against the legalization and more about dispelling a few myths, and or challenges with the “Marijuana Business.”
Just over one week ago I had the please of hearing one of the best escrow attorneys in Southern California speak. Rose Pothier has arguably got to be one of the most respected, and referenced in her field, and to hear her take was extremely eye opening.
A few items we have been told about legalizing pot:
Now as Rose started breaking it down and how the industry relates to our wonderful Real Estate Industry, it became glaringly apparent that there are some major issues to contend with for Cannabis related businesses. First, and probably the biggest is that Cannabis is only allowed legally on the State level, and NOT on the Federal level. What does that mean, well, let me break it down.
If you run a business and want to use a debit card, credit card, write checks, do accounting (Officially) and so forth, you need to be able to have a bank account. This is where the largest problem arises. You see banks are Federally chartered, are insured by the FDIC, and use a Federal Reserve wire system. If a business, (bank or escrow company for example) is breaking Federal laws, then the bank, can lose its charter, lose FDIC insurance, and ultimately be shut down.
Wow.. Do you see the dominos falling now? If you can’t have a bank account, then you become a 100% cash business. If you are a cash business, are you sharing your take to pay taxes? Also, if you are a cash business with large amounts of cash, at your place of business, or home, does this make you a target to get robbed?
Soooo, our California state officials spent a long period of time creating full blown report (which I am attaching, for your reading pleasure) which essentially, is one big circle. They identify that currently under the law, there really is NOT a good solution, and the only real solution starts with the Federal Government reclassifying Cannabus from being grouped with heroin, other opiates, to a lesser drug like alcohol.
Morale of the story: If a bank, escrow, title company gets wind that the transaction they are doing is a Cannabus Related business, the transaction (under current law) cannot be done.
