Latin People News LPN: Este “juego” es una estafa de cartas en cadena

Latin People News LPN: Este “juego” es una estafa de cartas en cadena: 21 de mayo de 2020 por  Seena Gressin Abogada, División de Educación del Consumidor y los Negocios ¿Has intentado jugar a “The Cir...

¿Has intentado jugar a “The Circle Game”, participar en “Blessing Loom” o lanzarte al “Money Board”? Estos son algunos de los nombres de una estafa que está circulando en línea al mismo tiempo que millones de personas están sin trabajo y luchando por conseguir algo de efectivo. Prometen una gran ganancia con una inversión modesta. No caigas en la trampa. Está prácticamente garantizado que perderás dinero, o arrastrarás a amigos y familiares que perderán su dinero.<
Esta estafa, también conocida como “Mandala Game”, “Blessing Circle”, “Infinity Loom”, “Giving Circle” y otros nombres, es un tipo de esquema piramidal de cartas en cadena. Aunque las versiones tienen pequeñas variantes, la versión que más se está reportando es una que te promete que cobrarás $800 con una inversión de $100 y que, a la vez, te ayuda a darle buena suerte a otra persona que reclutes para que participe. Funciona de la siguiente manera:
Ves un post o recibes un mensaje directo en Instagram, Facebook u otra red social. Te invitan a participar en el Circle o Loom para lo cual le tienes que enviar $100 a través de PayPal u otro servicio de pago digital a la persona cuyo nombre figura en el centro de un tablero de juego de forma octogonal. Tu pago te coloca en uno de los ocho lugares del círculo exterior del tablero y te da una probabilidad de moverte hacia el centro del tablero reclutando a otras personas. A medida que se suma más gente, tu tablero cambia y la cantidad de tableros de juego se expande. Con el tiempo, se supone que llegarás al centro del tablero de juego y que cobrarás $100 de cada uno de los nuevos reclutados en el círculo exterior. Ese es el momento en que sales del juego o vuelves a comenzar con otro pago de $100.
¿Y cuál es el daño? Al igual que otros tipos de esquemas piramidales, estas cartas en cadena dependen del reclutamiento de nuevas personas para que el dinero siga fluyendo hacia la empresa. No hay ningún producto para vender ni inversiones reales que generen ganancias. Una vez que los jugadores se quedan sin reclutas para llevar al juego, el dinero se agota y todos los que están esperando llegar al centro del tablero se quedan con las manos vacías.
Si recibes un ofrecimiento para sumarte a un juego en línea como éste, ten cuidado porque es una estafa. ¿Los signos de advertencia? Promesas de ganar dinero pagando por tu participación y por reclutar a otras personas para que hagan lo mismo. Si el ofrecimiento te lo hace un amigo o familiar, adviértele que es una estafa. Y si le pagaste a alguien para participar en este juego, por favor, cuéntanoslo en ftc.gov/queja. Tu reporte puede ayudarnos a proteger a los demás contra una estafa.

City of Sunny Isles Beach
A Message from the City Manager, Christopher J. Russo

Beaches Remain Closed:

Understanding our limitations

(Thursday, May 21, 2020) - I have recently received a deluge of questions from residents about reopening our beach. As Mayor Scholl and I have mentioned before, the beach in Miami-Dade County is owned by the State of Florida, and Miami-Dade County holds jurisdiction over the beach as granted by the state years ago. Thus, when Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez closed all the beaches in the County, Sunny Isles Beach, as a city within the County, was required to comply with his order. And we do not have the leeway to overturn this order.

Miami-Dade County, after consultation with medical and State officials, will determine when the beach may reopen, and when that happens, Sunny Isles Beach will also let residents use the beach within the parameters set forth by the County.

The same applies to the reopening of condominium pools and gyms. As soon as Miami-Dade County allows these to reopen, the City will follow suit.

I understand this can seem perplexing. It is reasonable to expect the city to control our own beach, condos, hotels, and even our main roads, Collins Avenue and Sunny Isles Boulevard. But ultimately, the City must comply with State and County restrictions.

I continue to regularly meet (virtually) with County officials to advocate for our residents’ best interest and will provide you with the most recent updates as they become available. I know this is frustrating for some, but your patience is appreciated. The beach is the reason many of us chose to make this city our home and summer is fast approaching, but your life is precious. We need your cooperation and support to make the reopening of our city as seamless as possible. By staying positive and working together, we will remain a strong and resilient city.

~ Christopher J. Russo

Business Update for those Facing the Impact of COVID-19
Monday, May 18, 2020
The City of Miami Beach is committed to working with our community businesses and stakeholders to keep everyone informed as this pandemic continues to unfold. Please find below the latest information on mandates/guidelines as well as business resources. For a full listing information, visit www.MBbiz.com.
Letter from City Manager
Jimmy L. Morales
The City of Miami Beach is preparing to safely welcome back residents and visitors to businesses that had previously closed their doors in a collective effort to contain the spread of COVID-19.

Click here to read a letter from City Manager Morales.

Reopening Miami Beach
Following Miami-Dade County Mayor’s issuance of County Emergency Order 23-20, the city will implement its phased reopening on Wednesday, May 20, 2020 — permitting certain retail and commercial establishments, including retail stores, personal grooming establishments, offices and museums to reopen, subject to the social distancing requirements in County EO 23-20 and the city’s Phase 1 Reopening Emergency Order. The city’s order provides that restaurants and sidewalk cafes may reopen on Wednesday, May 27, 2020 as part of phase 1b.

Visit www.miamibeachfl.gov/reopening to read the mandatory guidelines and best practices for each industry. The website is currently populated with phase 1a and phase 1b guidelines.

Additionally, Ocean Drive is closed to vehicular traffic to allow restaurants in Phase 1B to extend their footprint — allowing for additional capacity. It also offers an opportunity for residents and visitors to walk or cycle this iconic street.
Restaurant Recovery Outdoor Seating Pilot Program
The City of Miami Beach intends to provide additional opportunities for restaurants to provide outdoor dining in an effort to promote the economic recovery of the city’s restaurants, as well as provide an opportunity for residents and visitors to resume dining at local businesses. Accordingly, on May 13, 2020, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2020-31276, creating the Restaurant Recovery Outdoor Seating Pilot Program
 
This program is intended to be temporary in nature, and shall remain in effect through September 30, 2020, or until otherwise extended. It will supplement the city’s formal sidewalk café permit process, in a business-friendly manner and to allow for an expedited process. To this end, the city’s standard requirement for stamped engineering plans will be waived. Click here for additional details and to view the application.

Miami-Dade County Small Business Box
Miami-Dade County is committed to helping businesses get back to work. If you’re re-opening your small business and need assistance, Miami-Dade County is offering the Back-to-Business box. These boxes come with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to assist with safety requirements.

Please see the requirements for small business owners here and follow the application process for the issuance of PPE. Supplies are limited and will be provided as available on a first come, first serve basis.

To request assistance as an impacted business or employee, please email ResourceCenter@miamibeachfl.gov with your contact information and needs. All inquiries will be responded to via phone or email by a Resource Agent.

Dear Library Patron:
In response to coronavirus (COVID-19), the Miami-Dade Public Library System (MDPLS) will close all its library locations to the public effective Wednesday, March 18 until further notice.
During this unprecedented health crisis, we remain committed to serving the needs of the public while also working to ensure the health and safety of our patrons, staff and the community. We will continue to monitor the COVID-19 situation and follow the direction and guidelines provided by Miami-Dade County officials, the Florida Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
We know that many of you who use our library services may have some questions.
Here are some things we’d like you to know:

Online Library
While our physical locations will be closed for an undetermined length of time, our online library is open and available 24/7 through our website www.mdpls.org. We encourage you to access the many digital resources available with your library card, including eBooks, eAudiobooks, magazines, movies and music, plus online learning, training and tutoring and more.
Get an eCard (electronic library card)Those who don’t have a library card can apply for an eCard online at ecard.mdpls.org. This electronic card will provide immediate access to the MDPLS online library and other digital content.

Items Due & Materials on HoldYou do not have to worry about returning any items you have checked out. Due dates for all materials have been extended until regular operations resume. Additionally, as a fine-free library, there is no charge for overdue materials. Pickup dates for requested materials on hold have also been extended. For now, you may continue to place holds or reserve items through the Library’s catalog. We are considering alternate means of getting library materials to our patrons and will update you in the coming days.
Customer CareIf you need assistance with your library card or account or have any questions, please email our Customer Care team, available seven days a week, at customercare@mdpls.org or call your local branch.

EEOC ANUNCIA QUE TODA LA AGENCIA TELETRABAJARÁ
WASHINGTON. – En respuesta a la actual pandemia del coronavirus, la Comisión Para La Igualdad de Oportunidades en el Empleo (EEOC) de EE. UU. Está implementando el teletrabajo (trabajo remotamente) en toda la agencia. Efectivo de inmediato, todos los empleados, aparte del personal mínimo necesario para manejar el correo, deben trabajar remotamente hasta nuevo aviso.

             Este paso permite que la EEOC continúe aplicando las leyes antidiscriminatorias laborales nacionales mientras toma medidas para mantener seguros a sus empleados y al público. Antes de esta nueva política, la EEOC ya había implementado el teletrabajo ampliado en varias de sus 53 oficinas en todo el país. La EEOC había anunciado previamente que su oficina de campo y sede en Washington, D.C., habían pasado a teletrabajar al 100% debido a la posible exposición al coronavirus.

             El 12 de marzo, todas las oficinas de la EEOC comenzaron a recibir quejas de discriminación laboral por teléfono, minimizando los riesgos para la salud de los empleados de la agencia y el público, a la vez garantizando que ningún empleado o solicitante perderá sus derechos según las leyes que aplicamos. Preservar el acceso para poder presentar una queja de discriminación es importante porque las leyes que impone la EEOC tienen plazos dentro de los cuales los empleados y los solicitantes deben presentar quejas de discriminación.

            Si desea comenzar el proceso de presentar una queja de discriminación, le recomendamos que visite el portal público de la EEOC (https://publicportal.eeoc.gov/) para programar una cita de admisión por teléfono. También se puede acceder al sistema yendo directamente a nuestro sitio web en www.eeoc.gov. Más información sobre cómo llegar a una oficina de campo de EEOC está disponible en https://www.eeoc.gov/field/index.cfm.

            Cualquier persona que no pueda usar el portal puede llamar a la EEOC al 1-800-669-4000 para comenzar el proceso de presentar una queja.

             La EEOC también está alentando a los empleados federales en el proceso de igualdad de oportunidades laborales (EEO) del sector federal a presentar solicitudes de audiencias y apelaciones electrónicamente a través del portal público de la EEOC.           

             Las personas sordas o con problemas de audición pueden comunicarse con la EEOC por videoteléfono al 1-844-234-5122. Si tiene una discapacidad que le impide acceder al portal público o tiene dificultades para acceder al portal, llame al 1-800-669-4000. 

             El liderazgo de la agencia continuará monitoreando esta situación en evolución y proporcionará información adicional a medida que esté disponible.
