I just learned that if you would like to TURN OFF or TURN ON the Business Tracker GOLD ALERTs .... you must speak to Tanya Brown.
She is in Hollywood, CTM Management and Publicity, CTM Brands - Lounge.
Although I was told to speak to Tanya Brown in game about the Business Tracker, I forgot and I had to search around to figure out how to change my settings. Hope this helps someone.
