Register Here» School Zones: Clarification on Temporary Parking in Bike Lanes In last week's Newsday Tuesday, we indicated that vehicles are only allowed to park in bike lanes during morning drop off and afternoon dismissal . Temporary parking in the bike lanes surrounding Weston's elementary schools will also be allowed for school-based special events, open houses, and special assemblies when parents and guests are invited to attend. The Broward Sheriff’s Office will not enforce the temporary parking only rule during such events, as there is not enough parking on school property to accommodate all the visitors. By State Statute (FSS 316.1945,1) “at the direction of a police officer” Law Enforcement is permitted to allow vehicles to park in bike lanes for a specific purpose, (i.e. drop off, dismissal pick up, or a school-based special event.)   Vehicles that are parked in the bike lanes beyond the allowable temporary time period will be issued citations. Hands-Only CPR & Stop the Bleed Classes BSO Weston Fire Rescue offers free Hands-only CPR and Stop the Bleed education once monthly from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the Weston Regional Park Soccer Building.

Por segunda vez en aproximadamente un mes, la FTC demandó a una compañía que prometió falsamente mostrarle a la gente cómo ganar dinero con bienes raíces con la intención de que pagaran miles de dólares por seminarios.

En el caso más reciente, la FTC presentó una demanda contra Nudge, una compañía que vende programas de capacitación y otros servicios para aspirantes a inversores en bienes raíces.

Nudge alentó a la gente a que asistiera a uno de sus eventos llamados Preview Events a través de materiales enviados por correo e infomerciales en los que se presentaban personalidades de programas de TV como “Flipping Vegas”, “Flip Men”, “Renovate to Rent” y “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles”. En uno de los infomerciales participaba una celebridad que prometió compartir una “fórmula para el éxito” en inversiones en bienes raíces con resultados “probados”. Pero estos eventos eran esencialmente promociones de ventas para conseguir que la gente comprara inscripciones en talleres que costaban más de $1,000.

¿Qué crees que sucedió en estos talleres tan costosos? Lo adivinaste: más promociones de ventas — esta vez para seminarios de “capacitación avanzada” que tenían un valor de decenas de miles de dólares. En total, de acuerdo a la presentación judicial de la FTC, Nudge acumuló más de $400 millones de dólares con sus costosos seminarios. Además, en una encuesta de clientes de Nudge realizada por la FTC se demostró que más del 95 por ciento de las personas que asistieron a los seminarios le terminó pagando a Nudge más de lo que lograron obtener en las subsiguientes transacciones de bienes raíces.

Si alguien te dice que puedes ganar mucho dinero con una inversión que implica poco o nada de riesgo, probablemente sea una estafa. Aprende más sobre los seminarios de inversiones y oportunidades de negocio antes de dejarte persuadir con promociones exageradas. Y si estás al tanto de una estafa de inversiones, cuéntaselo a la FTC en ftc.gov/queja.
