Yeah, ripped, you need advice so you don't have.

Come running Just as fast as we can. Shooter is gonna help.

Come Manx is the Troubleshooter Show Now, Tom Martino.

Hey, Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three oh three seven one three talk three oh three seven one three eight.

Two five five.

Well we started another day, another day of solving problems, answering questions and taking complaints. And I decided, I decided something. We handle so many important complaints, so many problems we solve eventually a.

Lot of them. Afterwards. What am I hearing? Guys? What am I hearing? I'm hearing studio talk or something? Guys. Okay, thank you for turning that off.

In any case, I handle a lot of problems here that you later see show up either the same people or different people on TV because a lot of TV reporters get their ideas from this show, which is a great idea. I love it, by the way, I love it, honest to god, I'm not kidding. It has nothing to do with me. It has to do with solving a problem. And I hope they pick up on a few of

I want to.

Actually make a master list of them, because God, they're just heartbreaking. One is, of course, that justin Garcia, and Justin Garcia stole sixty two thousand dollars from a woman.

Can't get anyone.

Now, I know we have some updates, so when you get a chance, I'll bring you update.

Then the other one was this.

Condo project, let's call it the eight point four million dollars. I am almost convinced that that woman who called in was not a nut. Well, let me amend that she might be a little off personally. I don't know, but there's something going on there. And we talk to other people and really there's something going on. There's something going on. Then we had another guy who took six thousand dollars for roofing. I think Deputy Bow worked on that. Is Bow in the studio today.

I'm here, tom Bo, who was that.

That took that six rand? You wrote to me and said we got to do something about this.

Who was that?

Gosh Sam of All?

And on his contract he's using someone else's roofing company name, which is which is strange.

Why why do our authorities let consumer crime go unpunished?

Why is that?

But this lady's pretty good, she's taking action. She's not. She's going to the county court. And I told her that if she.

Gets well, she could go to small claims court as well to get a judgment on that.

Well, Tom, the small claims court in Jefferson County's booked booked up till.

March, So are you kidding me?

That's why she had to escalate it.

And I thought, in county court you need to have a lawyer, But she's she's.

Going to need a lawyer. I mean, you can do it. But here's the problem we've actually seen.

Is marking there with you? Yeah?

Yeah, Mark, tell him what we've seen where people were actually.

Lady lost her house man. It was horrible. I was issue and she was in the right, wasn't she market Oh, there was no doubt.

I saw the house up closed, I saw the damage the roofer did. The lack of it was one of the worst roofing jobs I've ever seen. They didn't do the decking properly. It was so bad you can't even understand it. But they suit her to get paid, and she ended up in court and I was there the entire time in the courtroom, and they out maneuverter. The judge wouldn't allow her to use any of her expert witnesses because she didn't go through the proper steps to

Mom, Mark, That's so sad, that is it. It was horrible.

And by the way, as a side note, by the way, studio video up right now, go ahead. So as a side note, that was very interesting because at one point the judge actually he thought I was practicing a law.

Oh well with the other party. The other party complained, well, here's how it went down. It was crazy.

At lunch, we broke for recess, We go out for lunch and I call you and we're talking live on the air about it. The attorneys for the other side, the roofers, got wind that I was on air and recorded it. When we went back into the courtroom, the judge asked the jury. After the jury sat back down, he was talking to the other side, and all of a sudden he dismissed the jury and he's up there listening to something on a tape recorder on a phone, and oh my god, Yeah, he gave me a look

So tell me this, what other cases do we have now? As far as the ones I've mentioned the other ones.

I'm curious on that condo one. I mean, where do you even go on that? It's crazy? We don't have to hire an attorney.

Well, this this is criminal. I mean, okay, how do you how we're finding Hey, let's wait, let's read get the books, let's recap it. Let's recap it. D you looked into it? Right now.

I don't want to give all of the details or names right now because we really need. I mean, this this is serious stuff. Let me start. What happened was the condo project had a It had a basically a.

It had an insurance claim, an insurance claim mark eight point four million.

They won from the insurance company in a lawsuit. They hired a hole in the wall company. When I say hole in the wall, talking about a tiny little company and put one of the board members in charge of the project.

Take it away.

D Yeah, that's those are the allegations. And I should open by saying that I have not seen those.

Those are not allegations, those are facts. Those are facts. There was eight four point four million dollars one, that's a fact. Well, there was a construction hold on, there was a hole in the wall of construction company hired.

That's a fact. That is and the guy was put in.

Charge of the project. That's a fact. No one's disputing any of that. So now let's talk about allegations.

We got facts.

So I don't understand how it's a fact that we know they had eight point four million.

Dollars because we verified it in it was a lawsuit one, it's public record.

Go ahead.

So yesterday I spoke with a board member of that association. He was recently elected to that position, and he ran on on this platform of shedding some light on what happened to their insurance settlement, how is this money spent? And he told me that he's having a very difficult time getting any documentation from the rest of the board.

Dave.

They, according to him, they refused to provide him with a contract with a payment history or even the.

Insurance a settlement. Did he trace ach payments?

He told me that he observed for he's not sure what what document he accidentally got a glimpse of, because they wouldn't give a case.

He doesn't really have a record of it.

No, he hasn't been able to email me anything, but he he alleges that there was over eight million dollars in payments acchd over to this tiny little roofing company on Callfax. And there's no invoice, there's no contract, there is no supporting documentation. So whatever happened there smells eight million dollars according to the board. Remember, the roof was done. He said that most of the gutter.

The walls, in the siding, they were done.

They were done very according to him and the caller, they were very poorly done. And apparently there's some photo evidence of that too, But that pales in importance when we also when we're actually wondering what happened to the eight plus million dollars.

Now, we used to have private investigators Mark that worked for the show, and either they retired, I don't know whatever happened to our friendly ghost.

I think he retired. There're more skip tracers, Yeah, but some of them were really Yeah, you're right, But don't we have that guy that don't You don't even.

Have to mention his name that he said he wanted to look into stuff.

Yeah, he does occasionally. Suzanne's got a good report. And I'm talking about d found somebody too.

Oh that was from the Larry H. Miller case. And that private investigator reached out to me over a weekend, offering to help.

I'd love to talk to him out stuff like this.

I would too. He didn't respond to my message.

Unfortunately, you don't think he's interested anymore.

No, I think he lost me.

I'm going to put the word out. I mean, we need a prime honest to god, we need a private investigator or two these cases. Now we're talking about an eight million dollar possibly and not all of it was embezzled. But what's interesting is the guy that worked with the construction company and I'll just say it was Blue Spruce.

Wasn't the name of the construction company blue Spruce?

Yeah, there was a trade name that's used by a company that's a I believe I traced it to a company that's called Global Roofing on callfax. Global Roofing has a golden address. It's a residence address.

Hold on the money that this board member. I want to get the board member on. We really look can we get did he say come.

On the airth he said he'll contact me today after he consults an attorney.

The best thing in the world is to make things public.

I'll call him right now.

The best thing in the world for his safety. And then if he's fired, if he's let go, this is this stinks.

We also need to.

Get stand the ho a man on to figure out how we go forward. And I'm serious, we need to start taking some action.

The biggest challenge.

Now here's what I want to say.

Okay, it's for the TV reporters listening. Just give us credit. Say you heard it on the show and they called into my show. And because I mean so many of these guys, there's so you know, they say, oh, you know, as a result of my long tirests investigation, blah blah blah. Guys, take the story and run with it. I want you to, you know, I mean, let's do it.

I don't care.

I want people to the yacht club. It's the yacht club. And where's that yacht club located? What municipality is it?

It's up north and it's in my notes.

So the yacht club one hundred and sixty one units Westminster it it?

It was one. Okay, here there's what happened. They got a settlement for eight point four million dollars to do repairs. Apparently someone on the HOA board who doesn't he's not even there anymore.

He moved away.

Yeah, he's he moved away, and according to the caller, he's now suing the HOA for what sounds to me like a slip and fall on the property.

But in any case, they he worked very closely with the construction car.

He made himself, according to the caller and to the board member, he made himself the sole representative of the HOWA to the roofing company.

So they got a point and then they hired they hired Is it blue Spruce? Is that the one they actually hired?

I think?

So let me really check my notes. Okay, it's called Blue Spruce Roofing and Exteriors and blue.

Spruce what do you mean by what did you find out about the company?

That's a trade name, that's owned by Global Roofing, and I traced that address to a residential house of the man who filed the pits.

The DBA.

Filed by filed by Global Roofing, and.

And Global Roofing is where well.

I haven't been able to find an office for them, but the paperwork was filed by a gentleman who lives in Golden, Okay.

And so far the roof, gutter, walls, and siding were done, but were completed, but it's poor quality supposedly.

Yeah, that's that's the second issue that they're that they want to.

Well, it's got to be because the money. But yet the money was paid to them and and one one hoa member put himself in charge and he has since moved away into a giant, multimillion dollar home.

Is that what we were.

Telling I don't know anything about his home. The caller did allege that it's kind of a you know, really luxury call.

That board member tell him he needs to get on there. Does he realize that if he doesn't out them, if he doesn't call police or investigators, we need to call people with the if it's in Westminster, either someone with the county or someone with the police.

Department to look into this. This is serious stuff, people, This is serious stuff.

The board member's biggest challenge right now is that his efforts to uncover any documentation have been stonewalled by the rest of the board.

I know, because maybe all of.

That you do. So what maybe all of.

Them are all of them are in on it. I'm asking questions. People. See, this is called freedom of speech.

This is called Tom Martino, this is called mart Major. This is called a troubleshooter show. This is called what we do. We start shining a light.

So what can he do? How can he force welcome to discord financial records?

Well, first of all, they're supposed to. They're supposed to under house built twelve thirty seven. That's why I want to get stand the hl Man on and if we need to, what we need to do is get some serious We need to get some serious loss stuff going on here.

I mean, Roan know how to do that.

Tom, I'm gonna ask we Well, let's ask Brad O'Brien about this and see where we go. And then we just these homeowners need to get a meeting together.

I'll address them.

They need to chip in at least to get an attorney started on this thing. This is so wrong, This is so wrong. Now, there there's a lot of money.

We're talking about eight million dollars people, eight million dollars. Now, it may not be.

Your money, but when corruption like this goes unchecked, it is a terrible thing. Now, Nick, I know you have a safe co insurance thing. Hold on, I got to take a break. I'm Tom Martinez.

This is look. This show uncovers all kinds of corruption. And I don't care.

There is no shame in getting leads off of my radio show.

Hi Tom Martino, your troubleshooter three O three seven one three talks seven

This is where there was there.

There are a lot of owners that own condos, a lot of them rent them out. But Club Valencia had had two fires and they are not getting coverage from insurance properly. The insurance company is withholding. They're suing their insurance company. It is a terrible situation. People have been displaced, yet they're still required to make mortgage payments and they've been without a home. And yesterday take the first one, line two. Anastasia called in and said, I'm one of

Yeah?

And you said I'm one of the victims. This is going on. It's terrible.

And I said, we're well aware of it, and it's it's just amazing. And I asked what was going on? And I forget, I forget the the extent of it, but uh, you were not the only one who called in about it. Other people have called in And I asked, you. In fact, Cliff called in once and he says insurance is not paying.

Where does it stand to date?

I want to just take that and then we'll go into the second part.

Well to date, at least for me, where it stands is that there are multiple lawsuits, one at the federal level that.

Is against the.

Master carrier to to for coverage because they've declined.

Why did the insurance company Why did the insurance company decline coverage?

It's my understanding that coverage was declined due to some technicality with the smoke alarms.

And okay, okay, the public adjuster you hired, who is it?

Uh?

There is a public adjuster for the HOA. I do not have a public adjuster.

Yeah, but hold on that that public adjuster is going to help you as.

Well, meaning that yes, you know they're going to help you try to get this damn place on the road.

Yes, and yes, that's correct. So that has been an ongoing effort.

Well, we should get the damn public adjuster on to talk about.

That's why I want to know who it is. I do want to get the public adjuster on. That's a great idea, So, Anastasia, I'd like to know why they're fighting it.

Why what is the insurance company saying? Anastasia said something like, you know they didn't have the correct fire alarms, but I've never heard of anything like that.

Well there you asked how it stands? That was your initial question.

Yes, of course, And now is.

That the courts are hearing sides on at least three lawsuits. Our HOA is working very hard to maintain the building so that the people who are left have good living conditions. So one hundred and sixty four units out of three hundred and twenty nine are behind chain link fence and have been boarded up behind chane link fence now for almost two years. This happened on a frigid night in November two years ago.

People, Oh, I.

Don't know how you could make just half the people hold the people that so there's still people living there, right, Yeah, but Mark.

You have to understand the way it's laid out.

The way slaid out, they were able to separate that one hundred and sixty four units.

No, no, no, I'm saying in a final settlement, though, I don't think you can just make the people that are still living there make their units great and tell everybody else too bad.

So sad you couldn't do that, Mark. But the other people, Mark, let me explain this. The other people do not have damage, correct, Okay, so they.

Are occupied, are still okay?

Yes, I understand that Mark didn't hear all of it.

Okay, Mark, we're only talking about a percentage of those There are other units unaffected. We're talking about the ones that are affected. Okay, Okay, good. Now let's talk about this other Anastasia who called. There is another Anastesia apparently who owns a place there, and I want to bring her up because she called us and said, you know, I demand to know what's going on on. My friends told me I was on your radio show and I wasn't It was so big deal. There's two people named Anastasia,

Are you there?

Yeah?

I am.

Okay, Now do you understand that there were two people? So your friends probably heard this Anastasia and thought it was you.

Yeah, and that is just fine. And I noticed that the other Anastesia didn't say anything negative.

But the problem is, well, she said a lot of stuff negative about the situation, right, that's not my issue.

My issue is I had some of the legal issues with the HOA, so I need to make sure that nothing incriminating or false is said in Bin Dame regarding the situation, because honestly, I couldn't care less.

I'm out of there.

My grandmother's out of there. I called you guys in twenty two.

Now do you still own a place there, Anastasia number two?

I guess I do.

Sure, okay, and what are you doing? You said you're out of there? Did you, guys? Were your Were yours one of the units that were damaged?

You know? Unfortunately I'm at work and I don't have the opportunity to okay anything outside of the fact that.

I just wanted to make a staatement.

Okay that if there was another anistatious, different unit, different last name, fabulous?

Is this? Are you? But but but so? Are you?

Let's just answer this, Anastesia. Are you pursuing legal action against the club Valencia?

No?

Absolutely not. Why would I?

Okay, so, but you're out of there? Did you sell your place?

No?

Okay, do the same thing, pap.

Okay, but yours was not one of the ones damaged?

Oh yes, it was.

It was completely gone.

Okay, well, okay, thank you for calling again.

I have no idea.

I have absolutely no idea the purpose of her call. Does anyone have any idea why she even called? Can you help us, Kachina, Why this other Anastesia called? She had nothing to say whatsoever? Does anyone know?

Huh?

I understood she wanted to make a record of the fact that she was not Anastasia Prime because this caller. Second, Anastasia is involved in some kind of a legal action.

No, she says, she's not involved in She's.

Specifically she should say something about a legal action.

Yeah, okay, And then I asked her, are you suing She says no, they might be suing her. I don't know what the hell whatever.

Just let's just hey, Anastesia number one, we need to we're still following this. I need you to help us get the name of the public adjuster.

Can you do that?

I can look that, look into that.

Can you please help us?

We want to figure out what the hell the hell is going on here, So let's uh, and maybe we can check.

The court too.

I've got like really basic questions and I have no idea.

If you know the answers to these time.

But if you're in these apartments, and I'm talking about the units that you.

Can't live in anymore, do you still pay HOA?

That's what Anastasia. Are they still collecting hoa's.

Yeah, And this is where I was going back to what I was trying to point out. If they're paying HOA, where's that money going. If it's not fixing up the units that are broke. If their HOA payments are going towards the people that can still live there, that is just fundamentally unfair.

I know, I know, I know. It's a mess. It's a freaking mess. That's a good point, Anastasia. You guys are not getting near the benefit for your HOA.

Are you literally paying it the full amount?

Yes?

When do they say you'll have your unit back?

I don't think there's any real deadline as far as that's concerned, because things are tied up in litigation, which could take.

Year well, and then the assumption is you guys win the litigation. If you don't win it, from what I'm reading, there's twenty million dollars in damages in a special assessment with the average income of people that live there, it's never going to happen. It's absolutely never going to happen at twenty dollars in damage. I mean, that's crazy, markin where are you reading this? This is on a Denver seven story? It's crazy, though many.

Did they actually did they actually cover the story about this whole thing?

Well, I mean they've had they have quite a bit of information. Let me see how this is. I mean a lot of this it's kind of an old story. But the problem is nothing's been done. I mean, this is November of twenty three, and they got a hold of a lot of the documents and the HA said it.

Was technically call her Is that technically an Aurora?

It's a Rapacle County, I believe.

Yeah.

But what city is it? Is there a city or is it unincorporated?

I'm not sure if it's Aurora or Denver? I think, Okay, I'm not sure.

This one person, this guy named Alex, they're they're quoting.

Listen to this time.

So the h a way, he's in a unit that just burned to the ground. I mean he's got nothing. He owes more than twenty six hundred for one of his units, and he's going to end up owing the loss assessment to help prepare for the other units. If the insurance company pays or doesn't pay, it doesn't matter. So he's gonna owe twenty six hundred plus. They're gonna hit all these people whose units burned down with the special assessment to fix the other It's absolutely crazy.

I would walk away from it if it's possible.

Yeah, but Mark, a lot of those people had or they thought they had equity. I'll bet you our caller Anesthesia thought she had equity there at one time.

Yeah. It's really bad deal, man, I mean really really bad deal. Okay, it is a bad break. Okay, we got more coming up on the Troubleshooter Show. Go with a sure Thing Denver's Best Roofer Excel Roofing dot com.

I have a service line policy with Safeco.

Okay, got it? M hm.

My sewer line collapse. The plumber came out. We were getting a sewer smell in the house. The plumber came out and ran a camera through the sewer line, saw that it had deteriorated and needs replaced. So I turned the claim into Safeco and they said that's not something that's covered under this endorsement I have on my policy.

Well, it has to be sudden and accidental. Okay, So what is it?

I mean, you know we've we've talked about this before.

Why did they trut yesterday?

Yeah?

Why did they turn it down.

They said, because there was nothing damaged inside the home.

All right, hold on a second, I want to get I want to get Brian on again.

Nick, Nick, I want to get Brian Burns on. I kachina. I'm hoping to get Brian on.

Okay, Thank you, Nick, We may not get him on right now, but we're going to get him on now.

Can I ask him a question, Nick, did you have line coverage? I have Safego Assurance mark mark the whole. Yes, he said, that's what he started out with. He has line coverage. His sewer line collapse. But listen, no damage to the house.

His sewer line collapse, and they're denying the coverage, saying it's not covered. But Nick, what did they say in their denial?

They said that because nothing was damaged inside the home, that it's not something they covered.

Okay, they do cover the damage, but they also cover the lines with line coverage.

But they don't. Let me explain this to you. It is not a warranty, it's insurance.

So if a back hoe was driving across your property and the line collapsed or some other cause, if it just collapsed, how old is it?

I don't know, Well how old is your house?

Tom?

It's if he has Safego and he actually has the line coverage. I don't know if he does or doesn't. It will be covered. If the line breaks. It doesn't matter if it's old, it they will cover our line.

You're right if it's old. But only if it's accidental. No, not with the line coverage. The line coverage is different. Okay, let's ask Brian, because I might be confused here, and I want to be. I want to clarify this because then Nick, if they won't cover it and it should be covered, we'll go after him.

He's a thief. And then there's another guy using.

People's contracts and that's a roofer that Bo's been working with.

I'm gonna bring them up in the studio here and Bo, he promised he was going to return that money, didn't he And he never did, never never did.

He actually went to his house because he didn't call me back, and I had a conversation with them.

Man.

I remember he was going to return it in a couple of weeks, right, he says.

Would you just give me two weeks and I'll send you a picture of the check. And the reason he didn't do the roof because they had a disagreement about the color of the shingle.

He might have some kind of anti spam software too that picks up on it.

Yeah, So when you get a caller ID that's not coming from the people who generate the call, that's coming from a database. Now, there are ways to spoof it and to fake it so they can people who make a call can have software that would falsely give the impression for example, it's coming from an official agency. That is called call spoofing, and what they do is trick the databases into telling you it's someone official. Now, this

Well, Jeremy is actually taking over some of Brian's duty's right now, and so he's not available, and that is also unavailable so I'm doing my best.

Okay, Nick, We're trying to get some clarification here. I seem to remember yesterday Mark saying, excuse me, Brian saying that sewer line coverage and waterline coverage and all that kind and service lines coverage is good for sudden and accidental casualty loss, not for maintenance.

Okay, Mark, I might have misheard him. I'll leave that open. I may have.

It wouldn't have been the first time it happens, but I believe that's what he said. We need to get clarification. Now, do we have any other insurance experts? I mean, if if no one from Compass is available, which I find hard to believe because they answer the phone right now, if I call them, so.

That part I don't understand.

We can probably reschedule them. I don't I think they could be in meetings or something like that. So why don't we take Nick's okay no number?

And I'm really yeah, yeah, yeah, I would really just want to know if it is yeah, okay, So I want to, Uh, I wonder if there's even anyone at I wonder if that if we can see the policy, do.

You have try Castellano give them a call over there from the referral list.

Or insurance group of Denver. All right, Kelly, that would be good.

Yeah, we'll get one of them on. I bet we can get Costa what I'm sorry Castellano.

Yeah, good guys, Okay, and ask him about safecoat specifically if he could, but if he doesn't know about it anyway, that that's where we're gonna start. Three oh three seven one three talk three oh three seven one three eight two five five. All right, So Mark is going this Friday. I wanted to talk about this because he is, and I wanted to. I'm hoping you can use video and all of that, right Mark, I'm because I should be able to.

I'm going to zoom in with you while we're there, and when Trump takes a stage.

I will zoom into you just like we do hear.

From studio, and I will let everybody see kind of what's going on there, and hopefully I can walk around and interview some people.

We'll see did you have.

To sign up to get tickets out that the second it came out, which was two nights ago, I signed up on my phone and Suzanne's for tickets, so we got the tickets instantly. I also applied for a press pass and hopefully I get that. That'll just make my life a little easier Friday. But either way, I'm going to be there.

That is so cool. And are they expecting a big crowd?

Well, it's already sold out. I don't know what room. You know, you and I have been there numerous times for different Christmas parties and stuff. I can't imagine what room it's in there. They do have some pretty giant rooms. Oh yeah, like the main Grand the Grand Room in the front. Yeah, but wherever it is there is completely it's sold out. It was sold out, I think as of yesterday it sold out quick.

Okay, So I want you guys to stay tuned on Friday because we're gonna try to bring you some live coverage of this thing.

Yeah.

I remember Deputy Dan back in the day. I saw him on Fox News during a Trump rally in sixteen. He said something that's always stuck with me. He said, when Trump walks out, it's like a rock concert. He comes out with just this. You know, he owns the stage, he takes, he takes the whole thing over. People are going crazy. You would think it's a Metallica show.

Yeah, I know he said he's like a rock star with that and anyway, so I want to mention that. So that's Friday, and then something else with this hurricane. I know a lot of people have friends in Loveland's Mark, your parents are there, but they're out of the path, right.

Yeah, they're so they're in the Orlando area, but they have not only it'll probably still be a hurricane when it passes over around Orlando, Like, no kidding, It'll still be hurricane strength winds and a hurricane. There's tornadoes popping up, there's some or at least one that's already hit the ground, and then they're expecting one hundred mile an hour winds where they live. And you know that's about it. They're not going to have any flooding, at least I hope not.

Hey, Tom, Yes, my best friend and my ex wife are in the dead center of the hurricane in Sarasota. Do you want me to have them call after it passes and give a report on what it does?

Well?

Are they leaving or are they staying there?

They have a ranch style house which they're leaving, and they're spending the week with some friends that have a condo on the third or fourth floor of a condo building, which and they have their Oh wait wait.

But where's the condo building in sarah Soda Anrisota. But it's crazy because the direct HiT's going to be between Sarasota and Saint Pete.

No, they expect to be directly hit.

I wonder why they'd even stay there though. Yeah.

Why they have the windows boarded up on the condo and they think that if on the third or fourth floor, I don't remember what it was, that they won't have any storm.

Surge going that high.

Well, I don't think to last storm surge that high, but from the last storm they went through, you could easily have a couch or a television or something fly right through the windows.

Well, they have still covers on the windows.

Oh that's cool.

So that's why they felt safe.

Tom.

But I'll have them call afterwards and we'll get a first hand report.

There's some idiot called Lieutenant Dan and he is going to be right there in Tampa Bay in his twenty foot sail boat riding out the storm. There's people literally betting whether the guy lives or not.

What is he going to be doing? Camping did you didn't say camping out.

No, he's going to be camping out in his twenty foot sailboat in Tampa Bay.

Well, that's ridiculous. Here's something that I have. When you see the pictures of this storm, it really truly looks like a science fiction movie when you see them from space. And here's another thing, and this is what's shocking. I saw.

Did anyone see the video of the hurricane hunters in the plane?

Yeah?

No, Now they fly I didn't know they flew through Category fives.

Yeah, they go right into the eye. Man, Well they go.

Right, which is the calm part right there. So they go through the front, into the eye and out the back.

That's right. That's incredible.

These guys have cahonies made out of a cast iron seal to fly at one of those prop planes through that.

It's just incredible.

Well, coming back, I'm gonna tell you about my night when I covered Hurricane Daniel.

I think it was Daniel, wasn't it? I still have the video. I'm going to try to Florida. Yeah, wait, wait, hurricane was it Dan? Wait?

Hurricane It was a giant hurricane and I covered it and ended up in jail talk about that, and it's it's an amazing story though how this happened. And wait, I think I want to say, Daniel, but I'll look at the video.

I'll see if I can even bring it up.

By the way, we did get video of that parking lot, but Mark I played video the other day, which was fine. I can't seem and photos. This video for some reason doesn't play. I can see it on my computer. But he took pictures of the sign in the parking lot.

Thirty one ninety five. Now, even at.

His ridiculously low prices, that would normally be over five grand, but plumbers would charge over twelve to fifteen grand for this. He's charging thirty one ninety five for both whole house softening for your pipes, your your health, your laundry, for everything, and reverse osmosis drinking water.

Okay, three O three seven one three A two five five. Let's go to the phones. Jim, what's going on?

Jim?

Just a FYI about a month ago or I picked it back about two months ago. Perceived the text on my phone and I opened it up and it looks like an official USPS, you know, United States Post Office. Than that they've got a package of mind sit in someplace in the US that's got like eighteen cents short of postage. I want my credit card information, yeah, which I knew it was a scam because first of all,

And so they were different packages or was it the same one that they keep circling about.

The first one that.

Says it's supposted to And the second one I got was they wanted a correction on a mailing address. There was something wrong with the receiver's address. And yeah, you know, something like that.

You would be you would be shocked at how many people fall for that stuff.

Jim. It's amazing to me.

It's not just the USPS, but they do it with FedEx, they do it with ups, they do it with all kinds of deliveries where they say you have a delivery and here's what it's going to take. And it's amazing and it's amazing how many people fall for it.

Jim.

Do you know what the URL was on that where it came from?

No, Sir, I do not, Okay, because unless it was USPS, dot gov anything else, you immediately know what's a scam.

Okay.

Yeah, and Doc, I think we went over this before. There are people that have been scammed because I don't trust people to look at the RL and know the route or if it's not the route, because sometimes it can say dot gov cs, it can say all kinds of stuff and be embedded.

And I'm telling you.

It's just I don't trust people unless they're skilled or familiar with URLs to be able to read it and discern whether it's genuine or not. And I would hate for someone to make a mistake and think, oh, yeah, this is genuine. I would just say, Pierre, don't ever respond the USPS the only time they email you, and I get an email every day with informed delivery because I signed up for it. When you sign up for it,

Hi Tom Martino here at three three seven on three talks seven one three two, five to five.

I'm gonna go to Molly. She's been an HOA attorney for many years. How many years she said, eighteen years, eighteen years, and she's the HOA attorney for the yacht club. She's not going to talk about the specific yacht club details, but she will say what members have to do to

About what else general concerns about defamation.

Okay, So Mollie, and I'm only using your first name because I don't have your last name. I don't mean disrespect Molly if you can, Okay, Okay, go ahead, Molly.

Hi, I'm Molly Fuley Healey and I've been specializing an HOA lot for eighteen years now.

Thanks.

And what everyone needs to know who's a member of an association is that under the Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act, that's the state statute which regulates hoa's in Colorado, the section called Section three seventeen, which specifies the types of records, well actually the sole records of the association that owners have a right to request, and that does include records of receipts and expenditures affecting the operation and the administration

Okay, thank you now.

Molly, by the way, being an officer of the court and an attorney, of course, if she's not going to put herself on the line to say that unless she believes it, I want to ask you something though, as far as in general with HOA members, this is not the first call we have gotten when HOA members accuse others of kickbacks. In fact, we've gotten dozens of calls over the years, and it always happens when the ha hires someone, they want to know why they hire that person.

All are the board members.

But what I do want to say, what I do want to ask, is this, what if they look at that now? Now again, these are people looking at something saying this doesn't look good quality. It doesn't look like we got what we paid for. It doesn't look like it should be eight point four million or whatever or however much it was. What do homeowners do if they're not questioning the actual expenditure, but what they got.

For the money.

That's a really good question. And one of the things that I highly recommend to all members of hoa's all owners in HOAS is a ten meetings of the board. Under Colorado law, board meetings aren't open and typically there is an open forum in all of the meetings where

You know.

What I see so much that.

Happens tom is people, and I think we're kind of in an age of conspiracy theories right now.

Absolutely absolutely, I.

Have seen this over the last say ten years. I've really seen it escalate instead of jumping to conclusions and you know, and berating management or members of boards. I really recommend going to meetings, providing input and really doing

In other words, in other words, to conclusions, put.

Down the pitchforks and the torches and attend the meetings and see what happens.

I want to ask you something as.

An attorney for the HOA, though you are the attorney for the HOA, not just the board.

I yeah, I you know attorneys who represent homeowners associations, we represent technically the corporate entity. We're not representing individual directors. We are providing advice based on the association specifically.

In all of your years, you've been around a long time doing HUA law. I want to know just and I don't need to know where or when, but did you ever find something that could have been construed as embezzlement or financial malfeasans where you had to say, listen, this is wrong.

I haven't seen that with my clients, but I have read news accounts and heard of that happening in just a small handful of associations and years ago, I was one of the advocates for manager licensure in Colorado.

I believe didn't they didn't they just let that, didn't they just relax that again?

Exactly what happened was manager licensure, including management company licensure was in effect, and when it's sunseted, the legislature passed the bill to continue the program, and it was probably four or five years ago Governor polus vetoed it.

Why.

I just don't understand that because a management it's so important in my opinion, because I mean, I know of a place where I lived where these idiots hired an idiot after they had a wonderful company, and it's because the licensing was suspended.

I don't understand the thought behind it.

There are some really phenomenal community association management companies and managers in Colorado, but there are also some that aren't great. And so what manager licensure did was it ensured that all managers, you know, understood the core competencies of what they are required to do with community association managers and have a basic understanding of Colorado law in terms of what their obligations are and what the obligations of the

What was the.

Reason he gave for vedoing this licensure law. I'm just curious. I'm not trying to get political, but what was the reasoning?

My recollection, Tom is that it was a libertarian approach. That Governor Polis as libertarian, does not believe in regulations. Okay, so that's my understanding, you know, but it's been a few years.

Well that's funny here and out of Polish doesn't believe in regulation.

My god, yeah, I know, I know. Learning that, I knew you would say something.

Mark here, Okay, another question. Then you're gonna you're probably facing a whole new challenge. And that is we get calls all the time from homeowners who are upset that they're getting individual assessments because their insurance companies have backed out of full coverage or have huge deductions or they have to raise the HOA dues.

And I try to explain to the members the HOA is you.

I mean, if you don't pay the higher dues, you're going to end up with an assessment anyway.

So this is the biggest prising crisis facing hoas, not only in Colorado but across the nation. And that's property insurance coverage. And it's particularly an issue with condominium projects in Colorado, right And what we're seeing is it started out as well wildfire types of issues. And then you look at what's happening in Florida. I don't even know

Exactly.

You can't not cover association. So it's it's a crisis time and that's a phenomenon.

Now listen, listen, I have to take this break or we're gonna but Molly Healy, I mean Kachina, get her number and mark if you want to talk to her off the air and have her stay.

That's up to you. I need to take this break. We'll be right back. Go with a sure thing Denver's best roofer Excel Roofing dot com.

Hi Tom Martino here.

I want to go right to the phones now and take this board member at the yacht club where all of these these suspicions and problems are going on.

Nick, I'll bring you up. Are you Are you on the board? Ah?

Don yeah, I'm not the vice president of the board right now.

And are you the one who also sees some red flags?

Well, I don't really know what I see, honestly, and I think this serdance right now is kind of a perfect example. I'm not familiar with the lawyer that called into your show.

She wait, she said, she she said, she advised the board, and you're on the board exactly.

I thought that was a very interesting, our interesting statement, because I've never heard of this person or had any conversation with them. And I asked this morning from our property manager if I could please talk to our representation, and I got nothing and heard about this.

Oh hmm, that's strange.

By the way, she seemed pretty reasonable as far as getting the financial information.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

In fact, I really appreciated her points in terms of how to go about this. I've been asking through you know, the the property manager indirectly to my board colleagues for answers to the questions that are outlied in the.

RTH News Need advice?

Who you don't have?

Cam is gonna help?

Come man, This he is the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martine, Hello Tom.

Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three O three seven one three, talk seven one three, eight, two five five. We are here solving problems, answering questions, taking complaints, as we've done for nearly fifty years. And we have deputies that help us too, retired, very when they're not all retired. Actually Deputy D's not retired, but what I mean by retired is very active retired smart people, doctors, accountants, business people, entrepreneurs.

On with you?

This case was back in August fourteenth. Our name's Rihanna. She's co owner of the Copper Connection. If you remember that she returned I.

Turned some stuff and was going to get credit and she got partial credit only.

Yeah, it was twelve thousand dollars I think it was thirteen thousand dollars and they gave her three thousand immediately and she was still owed ten thousand dollars in credit.

And whatever, what did they say they were going to do about that? So they were at fault.

They did not get a receipt, and apparently the manager that they were friends with this at this City Electrical Supply abruptly left like the next day or two days after they returned it. So the City Electric supplycense they didn't have proof of the return. They hired a collection attorney and they sued the Copper Connection for the ten thousand.

When did she come on the air? August fourteenth?

I got fourteenth.

I really appreciate that. Thank you, I got it. Yep, okay, huh.

So I think we got a pretty good ending here.

I kept calling a manager of the of City Electric Supply, and actually have a cousin that works at one of the branches. So I kept calling and calling and asking if there'd be some sort of resolution to this. So Rihanna called me a few weeks ago and said they wanted to go to a mediation. So they went to a mediation, and the City Electric Supply said, we're sick and tired of the Martino Show leaving us messages, so we want to try to work something out. So they

You think, who do you think was that fault here? Because you were in the biz and of supply and contractor and all that. But you know, the electrical contractor really did not have any proof.

The the the contractor of the copper connection did not get a receipt for the return. So if I was the owner of City Electric Supply, I think I would have balked at at giving them credit because they didn't have proof of the return. But on the other side of the coin, the manager of this particular store abruptly left.

For some reason, so there might have been something going on. Maybe you took avery.

Did you believe Rihanna and her story though you believed the copper.

I believe she was sincere. I believe that she did return.

To all Camp product, all right. I mean, I'm glad they were able to work it out.

It's been a long haul, but they came to a settlement. She they called off the lawsuit, and she did get.

Partial credit, which I believe is probably half. So that was I think a good It is a good outcome.

And she said, if it wasn't for the Martino Show, calling in that their company would have.

Been You know, this is a This is a good thing because I get to use my dinger and you know what they say, if you don't use it, you lose this.

That's really good. Okay, Now, Deputy Doc has a follow up. Deputy Doc.

I spoke to Tracy, whose son was having problems up in Boulder.

Now let's talk about this.

This is where she said her son was having a psychotic episode. He suffers from schizophrenia, and they wouldn't do any He's thirty three years old, he's not paying his rent, he's not taking his meds, he's having episodes.

He won't even acknowledge her.

So they were having trouble and they wanted to get him admitted against his will, and they couldn't get any one to do it right.

Well, I spoke to Tracy, and apparently he's living alone. He's managing to survive in his apartment. He has a job which he's going to faithfully. And so she's she gave me she was going to call me back and give me the number of who she spoke to at the bowl of the Crisis Center, which I'm waiting for.

She hasn't given me that yet.

But my feeling is, Tom, here's a guy who's living on his own, has it, who's working and has.

No problems at work, but he's not paying his bills.

But is that enough to know?

It's not?

That's now, it's not that's my problem. I don't think the crisis center is going to intervene on They don't.

They don't see a crisis exactly.

So I will talk to him when she because the number he.

Said, he wasn't groomed and he was acting weird. He wouldn't acknowledge his own mom. He's not paying his bills.

Every day, so how can that be?

He really is going to work day?

Yeah, that's what she says.

Do you know what kind of work he does?

Well?

Yeah, he's a dishwasher had Whole Foods.

Well you didn't have to give the name, but okay, Oh anyway.

All right, he said, So I will let you know if the crisis center has anything to say, but I doubt it.

Okay.

And also.

I think we're going to get a great resolution on the lady that had the speed Queen washer.

Oh that one was outrageous. I want to talk about that while you're on Okay, let's talk.

So the original call was she bought a Speed Queen, but she bought it from a fat factory appliance outlet, and Mark, you were gone that day because I wanted to talk to you about that, because you were the one that read all of their terms and conditions, and from what we could see, the one we looked at said they get full factory warranties.

So I didn't understand. They might sell stuff that is full factory warranty.

Okay, but then they also sell stuff that doesn't. They definitely sell.

I don't want to call him second against, but you know, things that do not cover do not have the manufacturer's warranty, okay.

So it was a Speed Queen and she got it, could not get anyone to service it. So where do we stand with that? Doc?

Well, I spoke to our last night and Speed Queen is going to give her a new washer.

Wonderful man. That's great.

There was one hundred and eighty dollars charge for shipping, which they are also going to refund.

Wow.

So we were able to get in touch with Speed Queen. We spoke to somebody at who was able to effect this change, and they're supposed to set up a delivery date today for about the good news on there. Yes, and that love you know was a twelve hundred dollars washer.

Oh yeah, yeah, that's really good stuff.

Yeah, I love it when, as somebody once said, when a plan comes together, that was the a team right. That was a terrible show, but anyway three oh three seven one three eight two five five.

Well, that would be that would help a lot.

You can text me right there. Or the short code for iHeart is five seven seven three nine. And I do have a text and it has to do. It's very I like it. Tom. What do you think of some of these hacks?

You know?

Do you like the word hacks? Do you think it's overused? Hacks? I don't know what he's referring to. Well, he found out. He didn't think it would work, but he did it.

He took salt and put a bunch of salt in his drain that was clogged, and it sat for four hours and cleared it out.

Now, why in the hell would anybody do that?

Why they saw they saw it online and they thought, you know what, Now, maybe that would even be more expensive, wouldn't it.

He actually put in how much? I don't see.

Oh, he put in a half a cup and some baking soda and it cleared his drain.

Now there is another one that he said. He said, so that got me to looking online or hacks, and it's become a hobby.

I think that would be very bad for salt, salt and breaking and baking soda might produce some comradoxide guess, which would obviously expand and maybe unclog.

A small clog in the drain.

Yeah, I think it can very create a big clog.

It might create issues too, you mean like health issues, Mark, No, not health issues like if you have septic maybe, or I mean, I can't imagine dumping a bunch of salt down my sink.

It doesn't make any.

So I don't think half of half a cup of salts in a baking soda is not going to do any harm.

But like I said, I think it may.

Produce some uh comerat dioxide which could clear a small clog in the drain.

So anyway, he said, it got to be a hobby with him and he would like to be by deputy for hacks. But that ain't gonna happen. But here's another one you want to hear one. Here's on it's the use of vasilis.

I can't even say it with a straight face. It's not what you think, you dirty minded morons on YouTube. It's a sixty second trick to rebuild your teeth and gums. What it says that there is uh.

He found beneficial bacteria and the power to rejuvenate your gums, potentially making them more resilient and stronger.

I have no idea what he's talking about, but it's.

It has to do with putting vaciline on your gums and teeth and what the hey yeah mean, look at it. They said they're gonna they said they want I'm gonna play this thing.

Hold on, where is it? Hold on? Did that? Did that work for you? When you try to drag us you can hear it?

Hold on, Hello, my name is doctor Drew Sudden, and I want to show you something that few people get the chance to see. This as a pair of twenty five hundred year old teeth from one of our ancestors.

It looks like this.

How are you gonna sell me being very deep in the mud for centuries and accidentally excavated.

Come on to the point, you know what. That's the problem with some of these marketing videos. You click them and you want to hear, and they go on and on and on and on and all you want and it's okay, this guy tricked me, so now they're going to want to sell minute commercial.

It's probab it's way longer than two minutes, by the looks of it. I just want to get around to how you use the vasoline. And here's another one toenail fungus. How to get it, how to get rid of it?

Oh?

Now toenail? Do you ever have toenail fungus? No? I haven't.

Oh no, but here's what you do. Use you put lemons on your toes and wrap them lemon slices on your toes. Yeah, instead of going to the doctor. Now here's another one, a clock a clockwise massage of your lower belly in order to loosen up your bells. Well, that makes sense, and this actually shows you how to do it.

That with the case, every dog in existence would have diarrhea because everybody rubs the belly of.

Their pet dogs.

Not like they're showing here. This is a real massage.

But anyway, there are some pretty crazy so called hacks, and frankly I don't like a lot of them.

So far, I haven't heard one.

By the way, I just looked up the formula for baking soda and there's chlorine in it and hydrogen, so essentially, if you combine that, you could put use carbon dioxide plus hydrochloric acid, which could loosen up a drain.

Okay, then what about mustard on sore joints.

I don't think so, I don't know. I don't think that'll work anyway. Three all three seven, one, three eight two five five. Sorry, Anita, what's going on with you?

Hi? Anita?

So I've been a member with the Welsfago Bank at a wrapper Hole crossing for the past thirty five years with my husband. We both had doctors. My parents died abroad and they had lots of acids and various banks around the world. It's a blessing that I'm getting the moneys to America, you know, because it helps our banks here.

How much money, Anita, are we How much money are we talking about?

I can I'll tell you a lot. But the bottom line is I've been with this bank. I went to get a poa paperwork done, just one page with English on one side and a foreign language on the other side, because my parents died abroad. So this that's what Fargo Bank had me and my husband at age seventy eight waiting there for two hours. So we went to see the banker and he was like, well, we can't do it. We need a foreign translator.

No, wait a minute.

If you were trying, what were you trying to do? Deposit money or transfer it from Europe?

Very simple? Power of attorney. Just needed to notarize. I just needed that notorization takes two minutes.

That's all you needed. Wait from wait?

Wait what did you need notarize? The power of attorney? Yes see, but it was the power of attorney from your parents to you. Yes, they have to they would have to witness the signature in order to do.

You have to be there. Yeah they your parents.

No, no, no, no no.

So my parents are dead. So I'm sorry. My parents are dead. So it's a power of attorney paperwork.

And uh what what is the power of attorney? For God's sake, what is it? Mark? She said, is to move their money into banks. Here you have from who to who? It's from her parents what her parents are dead.

Okay, So I'll explain it to you.

It's a process.

What happens is it's step by step, Alex. I'll make it really speed and short. The first thing you have to do is get a notary off the power of attorney paperwork that I have. It's nobody's business. It's mine and they all they have to do is notarize it. The next step of but.

This is Anita. I don't mean to keep interrupting you, but this is very important.

When you see notarize it, do they need to notarize your signature on it or your parents?

My my signature on it and the bankers.

Okay, that's okay. In other words, they're notarizing that you are signing it.

Yes, exactly, they're not notarizing your parents' signature.

No, no, they're dead.

Okay, No, I got you. Now, keep going, go ahead.

Okay. So the step is you get the notorization. Then the next step I have to do is to go to the State Department in Colorado, which I did, and then the other step after that is you've got to send it to the State Department in Washington, DC. And I'm happy for these procedures. You have to do it because you don't want drug money coming into America. So

Well, you can get it, well, you can get a notary from anybody. We can get you a notary if all If all they're notarizing is your signature. You just have to show ID a sample of your signature and sign it in front of the notary.

H That's exactly what I did. I was to do at the bank. They refuse me. The people refuse me.

So I just, like Tom said, then go to a different bank.

That's what I had to drive all the way to the downtown of Wells Fago Bank. They notuorize it in a minute. The same thing happened to me with the same bank. I then had to drive to the Wells Fago Bank at shady Cheat and Alita can.

I can I ask you something? Why why do you just keep going to Wells Fargo. You can virtually go to almost any bank's going to have a notary.

Yeah, but my you can pay ten bucks in a note, but her money, her money is in Wells Fargo.

Well, just transfer to a different bank, open up a new account.

And Nita, if you don't like the way you were treated, I don't blame you. I would move. I would just go to another bank.

Yeah, just move.

I just want to tell you I did contact the district manager, Carmine d Memory at seven one eight sixty six, nine zero six. He told me go to another belt Fago bank.

Yeah, you don't.

But the thing is, the bottom line is this my husband.

I am old.

We've been with this bank for thirty five years. It's close to our house. My thing is I contacted the NWACP.

What are you trying to say that they're prejudiced against you? I mean, let's just cut to the chase here.

Yes, oh why why?

Because I have Callity is my last name. They think I'm Arab when I'm East Indian. I mean also, I did do a complaint. I had got a reference number.

No, Anita, I understand you said you're seventy eight years old. You and your husband are retired doctors. Listen, Anita, I understand that you're upset. I probably would be too. I don't if you felt they were you felt it was because of your color and your name? Yes, really, but the Downtown office. Why would the Downtown office because they.

Weren't that way she's saying. She's saying the branch that she has dealt with is that way. The other branches aren't.

Exactly.

If you what would you like us to do. Let's put it that way. What do you think we should do?

I just called, I have contacted the NWACP, and I also contacted States represented.

You're doing all the right things. Yeah, you are doing the right thing.

But if you want other people cheated this way? And then I also want to Yeah.

You've been with them for thirty five years, right, yes, in all those thirty five years, have they ever shown any indication of prejudice against you and all your dealings in all those years?

Good question.

Oh, they've been really good. That's why I stayed with them.

Is it a new guy? It could be just somebody there that was It's just a jerk.

It's five years. It's five years, sir. It's been five years, you know, and they should be happy because you know.

But anyway, by the way, Anita, Anita, what kind of medicine did you practice?

My husband's a surgical pathologist and I ran the business along with him. I have a PhD from du got it?

Okay, listen, Anita, I would hang on. I got to take this break, and we'd love to help you, but I'm not sure what you want us to do. Doc talked her off the air and see what we can do for them. Three oh three seven one three a two five five.

Hi Tom Artino here three oh three seven one three talks seven one

I don't know one thing I do know, and I hear this a lot.

There's no two ways about it, So Anita said, I went and tried to get something notarized. I was given a hard time. I think it's because of my color, my race, my last name. And here's the deal. As I said, there's no way for me to put a handle on that if it's never happened to me, or if I'm not a person of color at the But one thing I do know, through my many years of getting calls like this, almost all people.

Who are white don't believe it totally.

They somehow think, oh, they're exaggerating, or they must be not all white people, but the majority of white people think, oh, come on, really, come on, really, it really is taken with a grain of salt. I really have noticed that now, you know, we think to ourselves. Even when she was talking, I was thinking, are there really people today?

Now? Honest to God, I'm thinking this.

Are there really people today who will look at someone who's black or is she said a dark and or with an Arab name, or with even an African name or something? Are there people who would treat them poorly because of it? Of course, Well there are extremes, but look at most of.

Our college campuses right now and how they talk about and treat Jewish people.

Yeah, that is happening.

But like I said, Tom, she was there for thirty five years and never was discriminated against, Never in thirty five years, so it could have been just one idiot. But it certainly isn't a Wells Fargo policy as well, not what we know it's not.

But you've been at that bank for thirty five years.

Yeah, but see, oh god, these people love to drop the race card.

See I'm so sick of it. That was a comment on YouTube. That is what I hear a lot of. I hear that a lot that the race card. But as I said, if we without being of color or black or whatever, I can't I can't say.

I mean, I really can't say that.

There might be a real feeling there that that comes from something that they sense that I could never sense.

That is that that is a possibility. So anyway, the bottom line is.

It's not.

We can't just say they're all playing the race card.

What.

Here's what I want to know.

What would it be to her benefit to call and to complain about Wells Fargo saying, you know, I feel like I was discriminated against her. I'm given a hard time. I know that feeling of being of being not treated properly. And I'm not saying because of race or anything, but that is a terrible feeling. And I guess there's nowhere else to go. So you know, they come to this They come to this show and want to just air it.

That's fine. Like the guy in the King Super's grocery store.

Okay, now that guy that was okay, that was probably a little exaggeration. Mark's talking about a guy that went to buy cigarettes at King Soupers. The woman wouldn't help him and supposedly told them to get Leonard to help him, who was a black man, And he said, because I'm racist. That's what the clerk supposedly said. And I think that was probably done out of exaggeration.

And apparently everybody heard him, and then he was running around the store while on the phone with us, and I am sure that all these people that heard him, hey, can you please tell Tom that what you heard the other day? And every one of them said, but see, we have no idea what you're talking about.

But that's the problem, by the way, with with racial complaints, sexual harassment complaints, or domestic violence complaints or complaints like that, when you get a few phonies here and there that make those complaints, it makes it really difficult for the real victims.

I mean, it really can make.

It difficult because you tend to see somebody like that black man who exaggerated about king soupers, and I think he did. He couldn't get one person to corroborate a story, not one who the big one is, who was.

The big actor Jesse or no it's not Jesse. It's like, yes, he smoll it or something Justice Jose. Yeah, he said a bunch of white guys jumped them and beat them up in the subway, and he made the whole thing up with the subway sandwich made it through the beating with a maga hat, right, Yeah, with a maga hat.

They the one guy had a maga hat. And it all turned out to be a lie that it.

Was funny because the people forwards, yeah, pointing out that his subway sandwich was unharmed in the beat.

It was totally unharmed. I mean, it was like crazy. The lettuce wasn't even no one questioned him.

You know, everybody in New York, at least as far as the left wing media, was pretty much like, oh my god, those mega can you.

Only though that guy ruined his entire career over that.

Well, don't forget the news, the fake news that was wrapped around his neck.

That's the guy.

Oh, that's right. Yeah, that was just Mullet's Chicago.

It was small, and I think he went to jail for that.

From all they kept kicking it the can or something.

Wait, wait, I don't he prosecuted him. Fine, maybe I don't know. Anyway, find out whatever happened to him.

But example, like you were saying, though of a guy, I mean, it's just so outrageous. Then people look at that and go, oh, everybody must.

Be doing that.

That's right, And that's the bad part, you know, that's the bad part. Anyway, We have more coming up on the Troubleshooter Show.

Ripped of.

News needed.

That's so you don't have come running. Just as sass as we can.

Shooter's gonna help come.

Man, this is the Troubleshooter Show. No Tom Martino, Hey.

Tom Martino here, Welcome to the show. Three oh three seven one three talks seven one three eight two five five. Man, what's going on in your life? How can we help you?

Well, we.

Are really really happy because behind the scenes we had long We have a lot of stuff going on. I can't talk about all of it right now.

But I will tell you that a lot of people who were going after are going to come down. I think that in general, here are the cases we're following now.

First and foremost, we had this situation and we had the attorney on, and I will say the attorney sounded very reasonable to us. Really, she's very straightforward and said, from her knowledge, there's nothing a skance going on, no personal gain.

No fraud.

But a few people, more than a few people behind the scenes, have contacted me about the yacht club. That's a community in Thornton condo community where they were recently awarded eight point four million dollars in an inch surance claim after they sued their insurance company. That's good news, by the way, and then as a result of that they had repairs done.

But they claim that the eight point four million is missing and they don't believe it all went towards the repairs. Let's just put it that way.

The attorney came on to tell us for the ha, here's how you get a copy of all of the.

The financials and the bills and the invoices.

We had somebody on the board who was supposedly in charge of that construction project who left and we were told bought a big house.

Look, I don't know about that.

Then another guy that on the on the board says he's looking into it, and he's and they keep throwing up roadblocks. And he was shocked when he heard the attorney on the air today because he said, guess what I've asked us to speak to our council, our corporate counsel, and I could never get a name. So we are hearing different things. But I will say that if something

Now because of his inquiries. Isn't that right, Deputy? I mean, we, Deputy D let me talk to you because you're you really uh you know, you really said that this guy is probing and he did not believe.

He said he didn't believe the attorney. He said, So Nick, the attorney was honest.

I think she was. And I encouraged Nick to continue to follow up with the attorney because not only is she responds she needs to be responsive to his requests for documentation, but she's also his board's attorneys.

So so and I don't think she will knowingly throw up a roadblock or lie about it.

Oh, I have no doubt she would never do that. Ever, No, she would not do that. So Nick is pursuing that. To answer your question about the efforts to remove him from the board, he was recently elected and the entrenched board members, according to Nick, attempted to remove him for the board because of the discrepancy in his name and the real estate records. Apparently he uses his middle name in one place and no middle name in the other place.

Okay, Then we have another case we're following, and this is really important, and that's Justin mister Garcia, sixty two thousand dollars. I say he stole it from a woman. It was supposed to be put in trust for the job. She wanted to cancel the job for various reasons. He doesn't he won't do the work, doesn't have the money. He's a crook. Justin Garcia. Justin Garcia is a crook. Okay, there's no other word for it. In my opinion, he's

Right, law enforcement movement behind the scenes.

Okay, and that man should be arrested. There's no doubt in my mind he should be arrested.

Can you start his phone number?

Yeah, let me get it. Yeah, we have it.

I'm happy to give it out.

Give it, give it out. Yeah, you're you were working the case. Go ahead, So.

Justin Garcia, scumbag his phone number. I'd like people to call him.

Yes, tell him, tell me. Here's what you tell him. Because these people in business bo I want to I want to say something. They spend a lot of.

Time and energy getting people to do reviews online. So I'm saying, you're going to do reviews and let him know exactly what you think of him.

And I want you to.

I don't want you to be vulgar or threatening, but I want you to let him know because he shouldn't.

Get away with it. Justin Garcia. And what's his phone on?

His phone number is seven to one nine five seven to one oh four three seven. I want to repeat it, seven one nine five seven one oh four three seven.

He's a thief. He needs to return that sixty two thousand dollars.

He doesn't have it, I don't think probably.

Not speaking of thieves, we have another guy named Josh sand of Aal.

He's a roofer.

Who's actually using the name of another roofer and another company and using their contracts to steal money. Josh Sandoval. Do we have a number for.

Josh, Yes, I'm looking it up because it's good.

And Sandoval he is basically taking money from people and not doing the roof and using somebody else's contract. You know, only in Colorado do people think they can get away with this stuff? Do you know that in Florida they charge because they charge contractors with fraud.

And I want to tell you something very interesting.

If you get felony fraud three times in Florida, it's life imprisonment. So these contractors are pretty damn afraid of doing this. In Colorado, we don't have a lot of punishment for anything. I swear to God, it's such a lawless land. What a piece of crap state. It turned out to be such a beautiful state, but a piece of crap state as soon as we got lopsided.

Government and all crime was downgraded. All crime.

You can steal cars, you can drive around without license plates or registrations.

You can listen. I don't want to get into it. Contractors can lie and steal. Now, there are a few people who will take action, and we're in touch with them.

Do you have his number, yes, josh Joshua A. Sandoval his phone number seven to zero three two zero eight three eight seven. I called him during the break and invited him to come on the air or to call me direct call give his side of the story. I know he's probably listening, so I'd like for our callers to call him seven to zero three two zero eight three eight. He took six thousand dollars from a lady for a down payment on a roof over a year ago, and it's not going to get done.

He stole it, Yeah he did.

He stole the money. Yeah anyway. Frank Duran in the Real Estate Man. What Frank will do for you? If you're thinking about selling your house. He'll tell you what it will sell for based on his thirty years of experience, and he takes all market elements into consideration. It's a complimentary review. You don't have to pay for it. There's no obligation to list with him. He will go over each and every aspect, the neighborhood, the house, and all

So earlier in the show, we had a call from a doctor.

Or someone claiming to be well. She is a doctor, and she claimed that she was discriminated against at a Wells Fargo because they wouldn't notarize something for her. To make a long story short, that was what it was. She said she felt it was because of her last name, her color, her heritage. So she finally got a taken care of at the main branch of Wells Fargo. But as a result of that discussion, we had a number of people who say that people liked to play the

Be able to pick up on it. Some people feel it's an excuse and people use it too much.

Others feel there are some genuine cases and some exaggerations. So I got a text on my private Google phone seven four seven nine eighty. Trust me, Tomas, an African American male. I always give people the benefit of the doubt, but when it slaps you in the face, one has no choice.

But to recognize it. That's what one person told me.

And then when we were talking about it, the topic of Jesse Smollette came up because I said, false accusations often cast a shadow on genuine problems.

When it comes to domestic violence, when it comes.

To sexual assault, harassment, and hate crimes, and Jesse Smollett came up because he had been convicted of staging.

A hate crime.

I didn't realize this, but he actually still maintains his innocence. He says it was a real hate crime. Those guys just confess to it to get out of it, and that he truly was.

Beat up. In all of that.

He was convicted and sentenced to one hundred and fifty days in jail. He only served six days in jail and was released pending his appeal. Smollet's appeal was denied by the appellate court two to one, and they said he was required.

To complete his one hundred and fifty day sentence.

But then in March the Supreme Court announced it would hear the case, and I guess they just did hear it so that we didn't get a decision on it, but they did hear it. And basically he's saying that he's innocent, he was the victim of a hate crime. I didn't realize he was truly maintaining his innocence yet Wikipedia even.

Calls it a hoax and supposedly he was beat up by two white guys with Maga hats or a Maga hat and it was all because of race. So that's where that stands.

Because that came up now on some other cases that were working on, it's really important that you know that we're not going to let these go. And I'm going to be updating Sleasbrigade dot com and those will be updated to show the.

New the new people.

Anyway, we have a meeting with one law enforcement official who has a consumer protection unit and they say that they are going.

To look into this. So we also have someone else with the police who are looking into it.

So we're making progress with Justin Garcia, and you scumbag, Justin, you piece of garbage.

You're not going to get away with it.

For those who want to call him, I'd love to know if he's answering his phone. Seven nine five seven one zero four three seven. Here's what I want you to tell him. Don't be vulgar. I heard about you on the Tom Artineau Show. I'm going to spread the word about you. I'm going to spread the word about

One of the victims we have is six thousand dollars she took Josh sand of all is seven to zero three two zero eighty three eighty seven, seven to zero three two zero eighty three eighty seven. So I'd like you to let them know you heard about them on the show, and then let us know what they tell you. Okay, let us know.

According to some of these texts, the number is still working, so apparently.

You can get through, and I'd like to know what they tell you. Okay.

We have more news coming up on the Troubleshooter Show three oh three seven one three talks seven one three eight, two five five, And we will keep you updated on these cases and any new calls we get. Plus we have consumer news coming up.

Hi Tom Martino here three three seven one three talks seven one three eight, two, five to five.

Okay, do you guys remember the call that? And I'm going to show a video, So if you're anywhere near you two tube or you can tune into the Troubleshooter Network YouTube video later and then mark it for the fourth hour of the show. But here's what happened. He said. He went to a parking lot.

He went to a restaurant and was billed for parking, and it was a penalty like eighty something bucks, And he says he never knew he had to pay to be there. Now, I've been to by the Way parking lots before for restaurants and stores or plazas where there's a sign up on the telephone pole with a QR code that you scan and pay for parking in that lot.

I have been to those, and I've seen them before. But he was particularly upset because he said, in this case, the writing was so tiny and so small.

You couldn't even see it. You couldn't even see it, he said, didn't he say a half inch? I think he said it was a half inch, which is ridiculous, right, And I said, I got to see video of this. So he went out and got video of it, and he sent me the video and I'm gonna play it right now, and basically, I want to make sure you know you guys see it because for those on YouTube, and I'm gonna be by the way streaming on other platforms again, I just how did you get up and

Time to look at it. So I if you so. So, here's what I want you to see first before I start playing it. Well, there it is. I'm gonna I'm gonna see if I can. Yeah, So there's the video right there.

Now to see the sign that that is pretty small print, but it's a there are two big red signs for QR codes and if you go up, you go up that it is pretty tiny print.

I'll get you. It's pretty even measured it. He's right, it's a half an inch half an inch writing. He has a ruler right there. So I'm gonna play it again, but I want you to look and tell me what you think of this. Now, while the lettering is small, the sign is big. If that makes sense. So if you pull into a parking lot and you see a big red sign, would you go over and look at it? Now, there is no towing notice that I can see, but

Now.

I don't know if they have someone patrolling there, but that's the case.

And again, I'm going to play it again, but i'd like your thoughts on it. I'd like your thoughts on it. Tell me what you're thinking about that sign. Three zero three seven one three talk seven one three eight two five five. Did you look at it, Dimitri? Did you look at it on the YouTube?

It's it's not it was, oh there it is.

Yeah. Hey, I just want to know.

Is a parking lot for a specific restaurant.

Not one, It's a restaurant for a number of businesses in that plaza.

Well, you know, do they have a verification where you know, you get your ticket stamped or something.

No, no, then everyone pays.

I would argue that it should say somewhere on there in relatively large letters that say pay here for this parking lot, or this is how you pay or.

Oh and by the way, I was wrong when I said there's no towing warnings. They didn't tow. They don't tow. They bill you. So there's a penalty.

Yeah, they mailed them a ticket for eighty two dollars.

But it's on the massive sign. It's like three signs put together.

It is a massive sign.

So I want to ask you, somebody, Dragon, if you drove into that parking lot, and again, I'm gonna play it one more time while we're talking about it, So.

I'm gonna I'm gonna rack it up. There we go. Now, I would look at that sign if I pulled into a parking lot. I think I will.

Although the lettering is really small, the QR codes are a pretty good size. And besides, nowadays, I'm kind of used to I don't want to be told. I mean, I really want to be close. But you think, Dragon, would you look at that sign if you pulled into that parking.

Just somewhere we're a parking lot where you would normally pay in for that area.

So that's hard to say, because you know, the one I went to.

The one I went to had a sign just like this, just like it, maybe the same people, And it wasn't this parking lot, but it was behind you know how they have heart parking behind buildings down the alley.

It was one. It was a big parking lot behind a number of businesses, and that sign.

Was up there on the telephone pole and it said to park in this lot, you must pay, and then it had that. So I'm really interested in what my YouTube morons think once they've seen this.

I'll tell you one thing.

I would have to go back to that restaurant again.

Well well yeah, I mean it look at I think it's weird. It is, but I don't know.

Well, there's probably a time limit on this sign. And the callers said he was in that restaurant for three hours talking with his friend.

It should say pay for parking or something along those kind of lines at the top of the sign in relatively large letters. Everything else can be small and dinky. That's no problem, but it's still a massive sign.

Yeah, yeah, okay, So that's that. Now back on the Jussy Smollett thing, I got it. I just got a text that saying Tom, you know, you forget that. You know, he's maintaining in his innocence right, saying I didn't make it up, it was a real hate crime. But what this one texture points out is that Tom, he said it was two white guys who beat him up, but there were actually two black guys.

Who admitted to it something rightyeah, yeah.

Yeah, two from the guys from Haiti or something. They were dark black guys, and he had said there were two white guys that beat them up. So even if it was a real hate crime, he reported it wrongly. Anyway, he said it was two white guys, one wearing a Maga hat. And if these two guys confess to it, they're two black guys. So I don't understand. So how the hell he can maintain his innocence I have no idea.

Just beware people of links. If you get an email from any of your vendors anyone, I don't care who it is, anyone, Comcast or Exfinity, right Verizon, Century Link, your power company, anyone.

Don't click the link in that email. You're not sophisticated enough to know if you're in the right link or not. So what you would do is if someone, for example, let's say you're Chase Bank or someone at Century Link, if they say you owe money, don't.

Click the link. Go to your online portal, go in and then pay it if you owe it there right or update your payment information. Do not do it from a link in an email, because there is no way to know if it's genuine or not.

Hi Tom Martino, you're a troubleshooter three all three seven.

One three talks seven one three eight two five five. So what did my YouTube morons think of all of that? That's what I want to know. What do you think of that sign, Dimitri? What do you think?

By the way, Well, I think, and I've seen signs like similar to this at places where I shop. They generally specify a maximum free parking period, and usually it's an hour, sometimes two hours. The gentleman who called said that he was in that restaurant for three hours, so I have a feeling that he got a parking ticket mailed to him because he exceeded the free parking period.

Okay, so what do you think about the size of the sign and the all of that? What do you think about that?

Well, if I saw a ginormous red sign on a parking lot, I would actually walk over and read what it says, because I don't want to get towed or ticketed.

And Dragon you said basically the same thing, right.

Pretty much. I mean it should say you know, parking rules or enforcement rules, or lot fees or something like that. Very large on the top, but it doesn't. It doesn't have to. It's still large enough for you to go huh.

I wonder what this is This one guy on YouTube or one guy as Mr says, how can anyone in a car be expected to read the signs should have bigger lettering saying this lot does not offer free park You know what, I think that's reasonable.

Well, I think if this guy goes to court.

He might have a good he might have a good section. It says the sign does not follow the UH some kind of standard.

If permitting parking, it must be white with green letter I don't know about that. I mean, I know this for towing, it has to have certain standards. But in any case, I don't think it's a good sign in my opinion, I just don't think it is. And anyway, so we also have hold on something else I wanted to talk about. On a text here.

People reacted to that Justy Smollett. They said it was definitely fraud. Definitely this guy.

Made it up. He said they were white guys with MAGA hats. They were black guys. There is no way in hell this guy could have ever claimed that he it was a real crime and he didn't stage it. Even those guys admitted they were paid for it. There's video of them getting the rope, buying the rope and all of that, so they they they're they're calling BS on that.
