I just wanted everyone to know about an experience i recently had in chicago. We were in chicago for the "Green Tie Ball", a $500 a plate fund raiser which is a really good cause and helps a lot of organizations. One of the key note speaker was Joseph " Joe " Bodwell president of funding liberty inc. Most people don't know the name but its a parent corporation for many big name non profits. He made an excellent speech. After he was done mingling with the young ladies, (my guess is he is maybe 30), i walked up to speak to him...because i wanted to know more. I was hushed 3 times by his people. Finally when i did catch him at the roulette table (yep, they had gambling there) he was very receptive...nice guy. After about an hour of play, and maybe 6 mixed drinks, i asked him why if he was a president for a npo, why did he play and loose at least 10,000 dollars, he replied, "i make a f$cking million dollars a year...who are you? my mother." I just wanted everyone to know what kind of scum runs some of the biggest npo's in the country. | ||

Thanks "joannab" for the conformation of the importance in the work our organization has been doing for some time now by exposing what you rightly refer to as "scum" In my experience this goes on in the vast majority of these so-called charity fundraising organizations. Drugs, sex, gambling, huge amounts of cash floating around, police and politicians involved, and on it goes, on and on. Chocolate bars, chocolate almonds, oranges, tickets for sponsorships for shows that don't exist for handicapped children that don't exist; police, firefighter’s (badge organizations) and other high profile organizations contracting for-profit telemarketers who then strip 84% or more off the top, then police etc, themselves "grab" what they want for their “organization” and then maybe; maybe, a few kids are taken fishing with cops, or Christmas parties or whatever they’re flogging for an excuse to raise money for themselves. Then news media personalities who just love sucking up to these white-collar scammers and crooks, (which no doubt were at the gala event you were at) snap pictures of police and firefighters with the few token kids used as the premise to rip off generous citizens, and display these pictures showing what a great job cops, firefighters and other so-called charity organizations are doing when in fact they're “raiding”, for their own profit, your generous donations. It’s not about charities using these fundraisers to raise money to help the disadvantaged; it’s about these “fundraisers” using the misery of handicapped or starving children, or any of the other desperate underprivileged in our society to fill their own greedy pockets with billions. One learns a lot, as you did “joannab” when a few drinks into these people, or they start "snorting up” at parties. My friend, a singer hired to sing at the Christmas party for just the sales people operating a fundraising company reported a dish with all manner of drugs,like a “candy dish” in the middle of a table, and as you experienced, once they get drunk or “high” they start bragging of the enormous amount of money they make and how it’s like “taking candy from a baby.” I exposed the largest corrupt telemarketing company in Canada on our national TV network CTV. This company, Great West Entertainment for years claimed to sell tickets for “sponsorships” for handicapped and disadvantaged children. They took in millions keeping the majority of the money. On the one campaign alone I uncovered, they sold some 35,000 nonexistent tickets as sponsorships for 35,000 nonexistent handicapped children that were to be bused on nonexistent buses to see a magic show. This is outright fraud under our criminal law. Notwithstanding this national television expose` nothing was done to them. Our police and attorneys general here have a “hands off policy” with respect these white-collar criminal "charity" telemarketers. In fact we recently discovered government documents revealing elected government officials have secured millions in government grants for these wealthy telemarketers to come to communities in Ontario and no doubt other provinces across Canada. This company, Great West Entertainment, the largest in Canada at that time, instead of being charged with fraud and jailed were instead allowed to change their name to Xentel now the largest in North America raising funds for police, firefighters and other “badge” organizations and high profile organizations,now scaming millions of Americans. Since that TV expose` in Canada years ago, their illegal activities are now covered-up by our media, although they’ve been in trouble with U.S. authorities paiding out hundreds of thousands perhaps millions in fines, they still operate. Mind-boggling!!!!!!! | ||

Myself and a few seniors fed up trying to get the authorities to act, have set up an honest nonprofit organization of dedicated citizens to warn communities and expose these frauds. We are CrimeBustersNow. No doubt this thread will be now be inundated with postings from vicious Canadians; one, a very un-articulate annoying, anonymous poster “MAKE 7000”, possibly followed by “Pickled Sausage” and a very articulate BRUCE AUDLEY (his real name). They generally attack my efforts in an attempt to downplay the seriousness of this corruption on the basis, it seems, that Canada is a great and wonderful country. Their theme seems to be that because Canada is perceived to be this great country, that, that somehow gives license to run frauds all over the world turning its back on this corruption, because to do otherwise, might cause this great country to look less than great. So before you put much stock in the nonsense you may see following this post, I invite you to please check these independent links. Xentel, one of the worst telemarketing companies in North America, keeps well in excess of 84% of generous donations. In this excerpt from the link below you’ll see, Xentel Corp. raises money for the likes of ; believe it or not…. Background Calgary-based Xentel DM Inc is in the business services market. It uses a proprietary database to raise money for public service associations like local law enforcement, firefighters, and other cause-related service groups (like Shrine Circus, Missing Children, Big Brothers, and Crime Stoppers) CRIME STOPPERS!!!??? …..Finding this out, explained why, when myself and other seniors notified CRIMESTOPPERS about these telemarketing “rip-offs” our complaints disappeared into a “blackhole.” CRIME STOPPERS are involved and supporting the crooks who support them. Absolutely unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://www.ethicscan.ca/prodThe ucts_services/research/psr/index.html http://www.straightgoods.com/item73.shtml http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=Xentel+fraud&btnG=Google+Search&meta= Check this out; http://www.usdoj.gov/opa/pr/2003/May/remmffinal.pdf and the link from telemarketing to organized crime and terrorism. You will also discover on that link that our government does little about white-collar organized crime including phoney telemarketing unless the U.S. government agencies pressure the Canadian government. The major Canadian news media also suppresses the extent of this corruption. | ||

We are passing out business cards with companies listed on the back. Most of these are pyramid fraud schemes operating in Canada and defrauding millions of Americans out of billions of dollars. I will list them if anybody on this thread is interested. In keeping with the fundraising organizations you can Google this company if interested… Millennium Teleservices West Virginia - raises money for the Ontario Police Association – keeps at least 84.5% of the money. You can also read complaints from employees of these companies. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=millennium+teleservices+fraud&btnG=Search&meta= Also I would appreciate any information on these “fund raising” people you’re complaining about in Chicago. I will attempt to find out more as well, and post it. dave www.crimebustersnow.com 905-963-3389 24/7 --- We return calls toll free in North America and 22 countries. If anyone has been burned on this or any other similar scam contact us. We will sue 4 u. (in Ontario) and at a very modest fee. For a limited time (while the funds hold out) "0" fees unless we win. |
