We are legacy owners of Marriott timeshare in Newport Beach, CA. Someone called a couple of days ago and said Real Estate taxes were past due. Husband was napping when his phone rang. When I noticed what was happening he was heading he was getting his CC out of his wallet. He had left his cell phone on an end table so I disconnected call. Later called Orange County and nothing was past due. Once again went over hard and fast rule to never give CC number over the phone. Tax assessment notice came in mail a few days later. Timing is interesting. Also reminded husband government agencies don't call they send letters.
