BBB Warns Public About Scam Targeting Mexican Nationals in Aurora

The Aurora Police Department has released a warning of kidnapping extortion scams targeting Mexican nationals who currently live in Aurora.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) April 15, 2016

The Aurora Police Department has released a warning of kidnapping extortion scams targeting Mexican nationals who currently live in Aurora.

“This is similar to many other scams BBB sees throughout the year but especially cruel because of the targeted victims and the seriousness of the threat,” says BBB CEO Kim States. “There are so many variations. Callers will demand payment and use threats of arrest, court action or physical harm to trick you into sending them money.”

The Aurora Police Department reports caller with an unidentified Mexican phone number warns a family member that a son, daughter, or other loved one has been kidnapped and will likely be killed unless a ransom is paid. The caller almost always talks fast and deliberately keeps the family member on the phone for as long as possible so as to prevent him/her from calling the alleged victim. The family member is then instructed to wire money to a destination somewhere in Mexico and the perpetrator may call back several times with escalating threats and more demands for money.

After following the caller’s threats as instructed, the family member eventually discovers that the victim purportedly being held ransom is safe and unaware that he/she has been used as ‘bait’ in the hoax. Pay-up scams such as these are not uncommon and are used to scare innocent victims into sending money to con artists.

Per the Aurora Police Department and FBI, blackmailers often use social networking sites to identify families and the relationships of family members to gather personal, pertinent information (birthdays, hobbies, full names, etc.) to enhance the threat’s credibility.

The Aurora Police Department offers these tips to protect yourself and family:

Place all family members on speed dial so that if such a call comes through, a call or text message to the targeted victim can be immediately sent. Consider establishing a code within the family, such as a text, emoticon, word or phrase that would notify family members of the extortion attempt, or in turn, that the alleged victim is safe.

The FBI recommends finding ways of stalling the caller in order to speed dial the intended victim by slowing the conversation down and asking questions. One strategy is to ask the caller to repeat the demand so you can write the information down. Ask to speak to the victim.

Finally, consider limiting the personal information you post about family members on social networking sites, and instruct families to do so as well.

If you receive this call, contact Sgt. Courtenay, Aurora Police Department at 303-739-6094. You can also report this and other scams – as well as monitor scams in your area - at BBB’s Scam Tracker. For more information please visit http://www.da18.org/ConsumerProtection/Alerts.aspx

The Originals: Lucien Goes After Klaus with Nothing to Lose

Hell hath no fury like a lover scorned and unfortunately for The Originals, that scorned person is now the most powerful vampire in the world. Lucien (Andrew Lees) has gone fully nuclear after seeing the video footage of Aurora (Rebecca Breeds) admitting that she'll never really love him. [...] she's just using him as a means to an end to exact her revenge on Klaus (Joseph Morgan). While Lucien's next meeting with Aurora will undoubtedly be brutal, he's going after Klaus - the man he holds responsible for taking Aurora away from him - first, and he's going to hit where it hurts. Executive producer Michael Narducci talked to TVGuide.com about what Lucien plans now that Aurora has forsaken him and how the Mikaelsons will fight the two-front war being waged on their family. [...] I would say that Lucien is hoping that the dying Cami is exactly what he needs to get Klaus to come to him. Are we building up to a witch and vampire war in the season finale? Will he come back to Davina to figure it out or will he still try to keep his distance even if he can't leave the city?

Wisconsin Supreme Court Accepts Case Challenging Medical Records Fees

The Wisconsin Supreme Court last week accepted Welcenbach Law Offices Client's Petition for Review of a class action lawsuit challenging whether a healthcare provider, and their agents who are contracted to provide medical records, may charge a requesting party a certification or retrieval fee when the patient authorizes the medical records to be released.

Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) April 16, 2016

The Wisconsin Supreme Court last week accepted a Petition for Review of a class action lawsuit challenging whether a healthcare provider, and their agents who are contracted to provide medical records, may charge a requesting party a certification or retrieval fee when the patient authorizes the medical records to be released.

According to court documents, in 2011, Carolyn Moya authorized a release of her medical records from Aurora Healthcare to her lawyers, Welcenbach Law Offices, for a personal injury case they were handling for her.

Aurora contracted with Healthport Technologies to provide patient medical records to requesting parties such as Moya according to court documents. Healthport charged Moya an $8.00 certification and $20.00 retrieval fee for her records.

Moya’s attorney, Robert Welcenbach, filed a class action lawsuit on her behalf alleging Aurora and Healthport charged fees prohibited by law because a person with written authorization from the patient is exempt from those fees. Three judges in the Milwaukee County Circuit Court agreed with Moya. Aurora appealed and the Wisconsin Court of Appeals reversed and held that personal injury attorneys who request records on behalf of their client are not exempt from the charges.

The Wisconsin Supreme Court will now decide whether a person who has written consent to the release of the patient’s records may be charged certification or retrieval fees.

The Milwaukee County trial court case number is 2013CV002642. The case is currently pending before the Wisconsin Supreme Court as case number 2014AP002236.

RE/MAX Realtor Beth Davis Stresses Denver Sellers Sell Now

Beth Davis, of RE/MAX Masters Millennium, in light of a Denver Metro Association of Realtors article reporting Denver-area housing inventory broke a record low in February, illustrates why now is the time to sell.

Denver, CO (PRWEB) April 18, 2016

Denver was named the No. 1 housing market in the country for 2016, which has made the Mile High City a seller’s dream. “Many homeowners are selling and experiencing multiple offers on their homes, which is also driving up prices,” said RE/MAX Masters Millennium Realtor Beth Davis. “However, there is precious little inventory, coupled with a plethora of buyers looking for homes, making this an ideal seller’s market.”

In fact, according to the March 2, 2016, Denver Metro Association of Realtors article, February closed out with a historic low of just 3,963 active listings, representing a 6% decrease in inventory over the previous month. Additionally, the median sold price was $330,000, a 3.42% increase.

One of the main factors spurring the hot real estate market is Colorado’s population growth. The state added approximately 101,000 people to its population last year, but this has made it difficult for buyers to find a home because of the dearth of housing.

“Buyers are getting aggressive and home prices are soaring,” said Davis. “However, it’s great for sellers.”

Auroras are a rare sight on Earth, but now, thanks to a new ultra-high definition video from NASA, people can see what it's like to be an astronaut witnessing the cosmic light show from the International Space Station.

From Earth, the curtains of the aurora dance overhead during solar storms, but from space, astronauts get to watch the northern and southern lights flicker up at them from below.

Auroras are produced when charged particles from the sun slam into Earth's upper atmosphere, exciting neutral particles and causing them to glow. This happens above the planet's high latitudes, such as the Arctic and Antarctic. Read more...
