Newport Boat Parade!

Each year something magical happens to Newport Beach and the neighboring Balboa Island. Many of the homes located on the banks of Newport Harbor and those on Balboa Island  go all out decorating for Christmas.The boat owners in the Newport Harbor decorate their beautiful boats with amusing Christmas Decorations and form a parade that meanders through all of the fingers in Newport Harbor.

It is so much fun to watch, and there is nothing like it to put you in the Christmas spirit. The boat parade has been going on for many years now and all of us in South Orange County look forward to it.

This year it will commence on December 14th, and end on December 18th. There are restaurants located right on the harbor where you can  watch the boat parade pass by the windows as you dine. Or you can take a Harbor Cruise . My personal favorite is actually the cruises. On the Harbor Cruises you get to see not only the decorated boats, but all of the beautiful homes decked out in their Christmas Finery.

We Wish you the Best for this Holiday Season from the folks at South Coast Answering and Central Communications

Call Screening For Time Savings

Many small business owners like property managers, and fitness trainers, have adopted cost cutting measures to survive the lean times.  Some have let the receptionist go and begun answering their own phone lines.  No one wants to give up precious time answering calls from telemarketers or other solicitors. Many rely on caller id to screen out these time consuming nuisance calls.

If you regularly check your caller ID before answering, you may still be duped into picking up unwanted calls because some telemarketers are using a technique called spoofing.  Spoofing occurs when a caller disguises their name and phone number to look like someone else.  The name of the caller could be something generic like card services or 800 service.  When a call is spoofed, the digits will often show up as something else entirely.

The Federal Trade Commission has warned that telemarketers are using spoofing to get around the Do Not Call Registry to pitch anything from credit cards, to debt counseling, or mortgage relief.  The FTC is fighting back by actively investigating complaints.  According to experts they have already brought cases against nearly a dozen companies that are involved in caller ID spoofing.
