1. The scamster probably knew the timing of the county sending out assessments.
2. If Orange County does like Santa Clara County, the notice of what the payments will be comes out in the summer, but the first one-half payment is due in December, and the second half in April. Unless Randomthought's hubby is losing contact with reality he should have known the timing for a payment demand was off.
3. Two big clues it was a scamster: as Randomthought posted, government agencies don't make phone calls to demand $$$; scamsters always try to create a false sense of urgency/crisis to bypass targets' logical thinking processes.
I know timeshares are seldom a good investment. I did not know that they are or can be a taxable form of real property. For us, timeshares and HOAs are Oh, HELL no's!

I've been writing all week about Ukraine's drone strikes on Russia's shadow fleet tankers in the Sea of Azov. Those strikes increased again last night bringing the total number of strikes on Russian vessels in the area to 76. Here's video from last night's attacks.

Here's a useful map showing where these strikes are happening. The body of water in the center is the Sea of Azov. It's connected to the Black Sea by the Strait of Kerch where the arrows are pointing. That's where Putin built the Kerch bridge seen in the photo at the top of this post.

Russia uses of fleet of shadow tankers to move oil and grain out of occupied Ukraine and Russia, through the Strait of Kerch and into the Black Sea. There the cargo is often moved onto larger ships which transport it around the world to buyers willing to look the other way on sanctions. This image below shows "Where Russian crude oil in the Black Sea was transported from during the EU and G7 Embargo / 2024." But as of this week, the Strait is closed.
Who is Ron Filipkowski and why should I give a flying f*ck what he/she/it thinks? Never heard of them.
Ron Filipkowski (born October 30, 1968) is an American criminal defense attorney and former state and federal prosecutor who is known for sharing political clips and commentary on social media. He is the editor-in-chief of MeidasTouch Network, a liberal news website.

Filipkowski was a member of the Republican Party until January 2021, when he registered as a Democrat following the January 6 Capitol attack. He describes himself as a moderate Democrat. Filipkowski is critical of Donald Trump and DeSantis. During the 2020 election cycle, Filipkowski recorded a video consisting of reasons he thought the Republican Party should not re-elect Trump as part of an ad campaign by Republican Voters Against Trump, a group launched by Bill Kristol.
In December 2020, Filipkowski criticized DeSantis's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic as "reckless and irresponsible". Following a raid on Rebekah Jones's home, he suggested that she was targeted for questioning DeSantis's approach to the pandemic. After Jones's accusations of being fired for not manipulating COVID-19 data were determined to be unfounded, Filipkowski has since criticized her as a "fraud" and a "grifter".
