La Quinta and Indio, California, land of 360 days a year of sunshine has experienced much more rain than usual this year. La Quinta and Indio have had over 5 inches of rain when the average is around 3 inches a year. The Canadians who stop by our office do not mind at all. They are happy to be in 65+ temperatures and playing golf and relaxing. What we feel is bad weather in La Quinta and Indio is wonderful for the Canadians visiting. Now for sure, they would rather have 80 degrees and sunny, but nonetheless it is enjoyable for the Canadians.
  The Canadians also enjoy the friendly atmosphere, good values at restaurants, shopping, golf, and massage.
  We in La Quinta and Indio are grateful to have the Canadians here to help stimulate our economy as well as share their friendliness and kindnes.

I was reading an article this morning in the local paper about charity scams and how fast they work.  A spokeperson for the Department of Consumer Affairs recently came to Indio, Ca and talked to seniors about the risk of fraud and scams.

I was shocked to hear that at least 15  fake web sites were created hourrs after the Haiti earthquake.  These scam artists really work fast and im sure many people donated to the cause without every realizing they just gave money to a crook, not a victim of Haiti.

Senior Citiziens are the most commonly taken advantage of and just in the last few years scams against seniors have risen over 30 percent.  With the technology and public information made available it is getting more and more difficult to determine who is good and who is bad.

Tips From The State Dept of Consuner Affairs

If someone calls asking for money for a relative, ask a question they would not know unless they truly know your relative.  For example , the name of their dog.

Be wary of high pressure appeals.

Never give out your credit card info over the phone.

Ask for the name of the charity, what percent goes to administrative costs?  Ask for a phone number and tell them you will call back. 

It is sad that we have to always be leary of everyone, but it is reality.
