and even fraud. The Better Business Bureau says very few platforms fully vet online reviews. It believes at least half of the online reviews out there aren't real. Yet, many of our businesses rely on these reviews to bring in new customers, but fraudsters have learned a bad review is a blemish they can try to use against them. “It was a similar number that kept calling and calling and I thought wow. Then I listened to it and I was kind of taken by surprise," said Margie Keener is a real estate agent in Woodland Park, Colorado.She says someone called her claiming to be a representative of Google. "They were asking for money to take down Google reviews,” said Keener. She didn't think much about it until she looked at her Google review page and discovered a bad review, a review she claims is false. She says at the time the review was posted, she was recovering from surgery and wasn't working much. She noticed the same profile that left her a bad review also left 12 other bad reviews against other area businesses the same day.“So they had done 12 reviews between Florrissant and Colorado Springs and they had hit apartment complexes, they had hit a doctor, they did a construction business, multiple real estate businesses, and pretty much they sometimes just repeated the same review," said Keener. The person on the phone call recording asked Keener to pay ,000 to have the negative review removed. "I’m thinking oh my goodness. That’s a serious scam. That is a lot of money and what are these people going to do?," Keener said.Instead of contacting the number left on her voicemail, Keener reached out to Google directly and was sent to a customer support page. She flagged the comment which Google says can take several days to be evaluated. Her only other option... "You have to get an attorney and a judge issue a court order to take it down,” said Keener. The Better Business Bureau of Southern Colorado says both consumers and small businesses complain about the prevalence of phony online reviews.“One of the statistics that we have is 61% of reviews on Amazon are fake. So, again that's more than half and I think it's pretty safe to say through any platform probably at least 50% of reviews are fake,” said Adah Rodriguez spokesperson for the BBB of Southern Colorado. Consumer protection experts say unfortunately Keener's experience isn't unique, but praised Keener's decision not to do business with anyone demanding money to remove online reviews. "Knowing that more than half of reviews are fake it's hard to know where they're coming from so unfortunately I'm not surprised by it," said Rodriguez. ”Obviously if these fraudsters or these individuals get what they're requesting they're going to continue to do it."After months of reaching out to Google through emails keener says google finally removed the bad review from her page.If you have an issue with a Google review 2912

You can bet on it: Sports gambling is about to expand, big time, in the United States.Right now, the only place you can legally bet on sports is Nevada.But on Monday, the Supreme Court struck down a federal law that prohibited legalized sports gambling anywhere but Nevada.So what does this court decision mean, exactly?Now that there is no longer a federal law against sports gambling, each state is free to pass laws that govern where people will be able to bet on sports and how."It'll be a state-by-state matter," said Eugene Christiansen, an expert on casino gambling and consultant to the industry. "I'm sure there will be a wide variety as to how fast or how slow the licensing proceeds."Are any other states close to approving sports betting?Six states, including New Jersey which that brought the lawsuit to the Supreme Court, have already passed laws to allow casinos to take sports bets once the federal law was struck down, according to Geoff Freeman, CEO of the American Gaming Association. Those states are New Jersey, New York, West Virginia, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.Another 12 states have introduced legal sports gambling legislation.Even in states that have approved sports gambling, it'll take some time to complete the approval process, which will require companies to be licensed in order to take sports bets."In the case of New Jersey I think we're talking weeks before we have sports betting in place," he said. "For most of the other states, I'd expect it start at the beginning of the football season this fall."How widespread will sports betting become?There are a total of 40 states that have some kind of casino -- either state-regulated or tribal. Experts say they believe most if not all of those states will eventually allow sports gambling, simply because they won't want their own casinos to be at a competitive disadvantage with casinos just across state lines."It's the same reason we've seen the spread of casinos to so many states -- the states have been watching consumers going out of state to place bets," said Josh Schiller, an attorney who has represented various gaming interests. "People enjoy betting on sports."But experts say it could still take a few years before sports books are legal in states that haven't begun the process."Gaming law is something that typically takes time," said Freeman. "It's more complex than many people think."Will I be able to place a sports bet online in another state where it is legal?Monday's decision only allows states to control gambling within their own borders. It does not open the door for interstate online gambling, or placing online bets with foreign sports books. That would require additional legislation or lawsuits.How important is sports gambling for casinos?Actually, it's not a very profitable business. For instance, gamblers in Nevada lost about 0 million betting legal on sports last year. But that equals only about 2% of the Nevada gaming industry's take overall.Additionally, casinos have the potential to lose big on sports bets, unlike in house games. So sports betting can be the least profitable part of the casino, or even a money loser, according to experts.Casinos fought for the approval to take sports bets because it's an important way to draw customers into the casinos. Otherwise, they would lose that business to illegal competitors, such as bookies and offshore gambling sites. 3443

With so many people laid off and out of work, changing jobs or careers may feel out of the question.However, millions of people are changing careers and doing it successfully—people like Cai LindemanWhen mandated closures were forced upon most businesses in March, Lindeman was a chef at a fine dining restaurant in Washington D.C. The owner of his restaurant temporarily laid off all the staff and suddenly he became unemployed.“I’m not a person who does well when I have nothing to do or work on, so I immediately enrolled in classes at the local community college,” said Lindeman.As restaurant closure lingered far longer than the initial two-week expectation, Lindeman began to re-evaluate his 10-year career in the kitchen.“At this stage in my life, I was starting to think, ‘What does the future look like? Am I going to find myself at 40 or 50 years old still working in the restaurant industry, working these insane hours?’” he recalled.Given those concerns and the volatility of the industry, he decided to make the change. He traded his kitchen knives for a calculator, began accounting classes and got a job at an accounting firm.“I don’t know that I would’ve made the leap now if it wasn’t for the shove off the cliff provided by COVID,” said Lindeman.Lindeman is among millions of Americans making similar leaps. A new poll shows roughly 2 out of 3 people who lost their jobs during the pandemic have switched careers.“I think that is really a shocking statistic for many people because they think, ‘Well, we are in the middle of a pandemic. Now is not the time for a career shift,’ but I have told lots of people, including people within our staffing agency, that now is the perfect time,’ said Stephanie Caudle, CEO of the staffing agency Black Girl Group.Caudle is helping many get back into the workforce by making a new career shift.“Now is the time for millions of Americans out there who for whatever reason feel like they may have settled for jobs that maybe they didn’t necessarily like,” said Caudle. "Now, they have a chance to break that box for themselves and really start embracing the things they really want to do.”Like with Lindemann's case, she is seeing the most successful transitions into the finance industry, paralegal work, tech sector, and especially into computer coding for people who have little to no experience.However, it is worth noting that not everyone is able to make or even consider this switch, especially many of the people Lindeman worked with side-by-side in the kitchen.“There are so many immigrants, documented or otherwise, that flat out, it would not be an option for,” Lindeman pointed out. 2657

late Monday night after the animal was aggressive, grabbing his arm and tearing his pants.However, the owner of the dog, Larry Massey, said the officer misunderstood what was happening because he was having a seizure, shooting his dog named Butch.According to a news release from the city, they received a call at 11:59 p.m. by a passerby that a man was passed out on the side of the road.Two officers, identified by the city as Rojas and Daigneault (their first names were not provided), arrived at that location and found Massey unresponsive. Police said that Massey had informed officers in the past that due to a medical issue, he has seizures. The news released said Rojas did a "sternum rub" to revive Massey. While Rojas was assisting Massey, police said Massey's dog growled at and attacked Daigneault, grabbing his right pants leg with its teeth and tearing his pants.Police said Daigneault pushed the dog away with his foot, but the dog lunged at Daigneault again, grabbing the officer's arm. Daigneault pushed the dog away a second time, but the dog lunged at Daigneault's face. Police said Daigneault then shot the dog to protect himself and others. The dog was transported to a local veterinarian's office but was pronounced dead upon arrival. Police said the dog was not wearing a service dog vest.The case is under investigation.This story was originally published by Stephanie Susskind on 1407
