Fake ads on Facebook, Blogger, Google. Mary Cummins, real estate appraiser

Ray Liotta, fake ad, credit card, scam, Mary Cummins, Real Estate, Appraiser
Ray Liotta is suing a company who is used fake photos of him without permission to sell their skin cream. Every day in my newsfeed I get a ton of fake wrinkle cream ads using celebrities images with fake before and after photos without the celebrities permission. Generally they use Ellen DeGeneres as the fake model. I've also seen ads for weight loss. They use images of Oprah Winfrey and photoshop them so the before is super fat and after is super, crazy skinny. Everyone knows that Oprah is not skinny. Ellen is not totally wrinkle-free. I think Ray is just the first one to sue here. Celebrities don't have the time to sue these companies who sell fake products that don't work. The outcome will be interesting.

I recently wrote about these wrinkle, weight loss advertising scams that sell fake products with a money back guarantee. The scam is they ask for only shipping and your credit card number. Then they keep charging your card over and over. Here is that article about the scam. If you see a product that sounds too good to be true, i.e. "look 20 years younger over night!" "lose 30 pounds in three days!" "money back guarantee" "you only pay shipping," ... beware. Those products don't exist. Below is a fake Facebook ad I got. They randomly use a Facebook photo that is tagged with keyword "wrinkles."

A few more fake ads. Here they use Dr. Oz, some actress, Oprah Winfrey, Rachel Ray, Demi Moore and Jennifer Aniston.

Mary Cummins, Real Estate Appraiser, Los Angeles, Earthquake, Seismic Retrofitting

Mary Cummins, real estate, appraiser, Los Angeles, California
Cities such as Los Angeles and Santa Monica are examining the effects earthquakes can have on cement buildings. Previously they examined brick apartment and commercial buildings and found they can collapse in earthquakes killing the inhabitants. The cities forced the owners to seismic retrofit brick apartment and commercial buildings.

While it's not currently mandatory to seismic retrofit your home, most homes that need retrofitting probably already have it. If you buy your home with a loan, the lender will not give you the loan unless you have seismic retrofit. It's been this way since the 1994 Northridge earthquake at least. Any home that has sold since 1994 with a loan probably already has seismic retrofit. The same goes for commercial, retail and industrial buildings. No bank will give a loan unless it has been retrofitted. Banks lost a lot of money because of the 1994 quake. They don't want to do that again. This is just for California. 
Just because your building survived the 1971 Sylmar, 1989 Loma Prieta and 1994 Northridge quakes doesn't mean it can withstand future quakes. All of these quakes were different types in different areas. You also have to figure in liquefaction zones and other subsurface materials. Some buildings are built over rock, some over sand and some over shale. 
Retrofitting will not save your building. It is mainly to prevent it from collapsing and killing people in or directly outside of the building. Your building could still be a total loss and need to be torn down after a quake. 
If you take a look at the local earthquake maps, you can tell where a quake is likely to happen. When the flats meet the mountains is most likely a quake zone. That is how the mountains were formed. For example Sunset Blvd runs along a fault line. Sunset winds around the base of the mountain.

I personally have only used Weinstein Construction for seismic retrofit work.  They will inspect and give you an estimate for free. They take care of all permits. They retrofitted my 1928 Spanish home in 2000. I had to retrofit it in escrow in order to get a loan. It had a crawl space with cripple walls. A team of about eight guys leveled the piers, bolted the walls, foundation in about six hours for $3,500.

Cummins Real Estate was a finalist in the Los Angeles Business Journal Latino awards today!


My family is from Mexico. I speak Spanish. For this reason I do a lot of business in the latino community. I also do a lot of pro bono work in these same areas. Giving back to the community is something my grandmother Maria Rivera Cummins who was born in the Federal District of Mexico in 1899 instilled in me. She believed that God gave her the ability to make money. For this reason she gave money to Mexican charities through the Catholic Daughters of America. I am named after my grandmother. I am thankful for the recognition of this award. Gracias!
