QUESTIONABLE FUND-RAISING PRACTICES BY ONTARIO POLICE ASSOCIATION
Would you give a dollar..........
So a Kid could go........
Fishing..........
With a COP???
Would you give that same dollar.... knowing a minimum of only 17 cents was guaranteed to go to the Cops and the kids...... while telemarketers guarantee themselves up to 83 cents ..... of your dollar which ends up in the coffers of an American company, Millennium Teleservices in Charleston West Virginia!!! With a branch office..... (a roomful of telephones) in Canada?!!
This year that percentage was unbelievable reduced to 15.5%. Now, I witnessed a Canadian telemarketing company owner "grab" over $5,000 in one-hour "clear" in his pocket !!!! "working" the telephone, and that company was guaranteeing 40% of its proceeds .... to the service club. I exposed the company, GWE, (Great West Entertainment) and Mike Platts, on CTV's "W5" investigative show. My face was obscured but not my voice. I was assaulted and "rough up" by the "room manager." I had been offered the next level of $2,500 to $3,000 /wk. and did not show the appropriate appreciation and instead quit and exposed them!!!.... They were "ripping off" Handicapped Kids!! That I could not participate in!
Wake up Ontario!!
Wake them up kids!!!
I would love to have help writing the book on TELEMARKETERS & fraud artists.
You would be absolutely amazed ! ! ! ! The "pitches"... the tactics,.... how your name is put into a central computer and rather than being labeled a generous citizen your labeled a "mark" or "tap" and that "tap card" is used in other campaigns of other service clubs and charities. That "tap card" holder who is calling you, knows exactly what you gave to another charity and how much you are "good for." Before realizing the fraud, I was one of the company's best salesman. My next bracket was $2500 $3000 a week. I have been made several offers to raise funds for other so-called respectable organizations. Some will even show you how to get paid under the table. No income tax!
I chose to do this instead. Unfortunately, this only costs money and brands me crazy! But, when I see seniors, struggling to do their part to help kids, and up to 84.5% of their hard fought money and pension checks going into the pockets of wealthy telemarketers, while government agencies the BBB, Chambers of Commerce the news media and Police etc., (whoops!!! members of all these organizations are perpetrating these frauds and questionable activities!!!) and they are receiving untold millions from the public supposedly to combine forces to stop it. But, instead turn a "blind eye" sitting by doing virtually nothing but "sucking up to the corrupt police and organized crime". It is that, convincing me what I am doing is the right thing to do!!
Morality is a mental disease, the cure of which is wads of money. David John Thornton ...CBN.... Or as a cop once put it to me "You're crazy (mental disease) why didn't you just "shut up" and take the money? (the cure).
These well oiled schemes make me want to vomit. New pitches are developed from your conversation with the telemarketer.... These guys can even fool generous lawyers and politicians, with their pitches in the myriad scams they perpetrate, as well as police, although with police they are either helping to cover up, or these "scam artists" are genuinely fooling them as well. I have found both to be the case.
And what about the prosecutors who's legal obligation in my opinion, is to protect society from these fraud artists...... they know what's going on, they've known for years and just playing politics. With the millions and millions at stake to stave off prosecution and the obvious potential for corruption and pay-offs it becomes obvious why laws against fraud are not enforced. I can prove all of this, "Alligator Dave" does not make accusations he can't substantiate with facts. Remember, the establishment does not pursue "crazy" people with wild un-provable stories!
Now, if you have a question on any telemarketing companies pitching charity, or service clubs, your best source of information is this web site. You won't get this from your local news media. The best the Record in Kitchener can do is devote a third of the Front Page to a man looking at fish in an aquarium, and the following day, I believe, another man with a snake around his neck, and today (when this was first written) almost the whole front page devoted to sports announcements. Surely that's 8th page human interest stories and sports section news..... seniors in the community ripped off, or what happened to another neighbour dragged away by police on a false complaint for attempting to expose pyramid fraud (Marion S. Oakville, story elsewhere on the site). This is front-page news not fish, snakes, and sports.
Now, if you get a call for money, simply ask the person on the phone are you a volunteer? Is that your real name Bill, or your telemarketing name? Do you work for a telemarketing or promotion company?.... how much money do you make on the telephone Bill?.... Why can't you tell me Bill, it's my money and if I donate it, why can't you tell me Bill, what are you're doing with my donations? Are you really going to send 30,000 handicapped kids to see a variety show, Bill, or is that what people in your "game" call "selling the same ticket" 10 or 20 times? ......... It's Simple!! Don't get "sucked" into buying books of tickets for nonexistent handicapped children to see a variety show in scams like this.
It takes months to train a really good salesperson to manipulate you into saying yes! It takes "Alligator Dave" two minutes to debunk them and show you how to say NO!....... Or your own thoughtfully colourful phrase! .....Learn how much power a little education can give you? Empower yourself, listen and understand what's going on!
Now, if these telemarketers really bug you...... unlike the mainline news media which might tell you a story or two, leaving out most of the critical detail of course, and frustrated as to what action you can take against these people, forget the nonsense of calling the impotent Crime Stoppers, or or the questionable character OPP Officer Barry Elliot of Phone Busters suppressing crime, the equally impotent BBB, the nearly useless Competition Bureau under Michael Shibley (who should be fried for supporting pyramid fraud) or the RCMP Recol or any of the other agency doing virtually nothing, and simply follow the instructions on this site.... "Alligator Dave" always has a simple and practical solution ............
Here is the 800 number of Millennium Teleservices in Charleston West Virginia... 800-423-9411 .... call them! Do it! Ask them questions........ "Hey! does this questionable fundraising "on behalf of the Ontario Police Association" give as little as 15.5% to the cops which then is used for the "general welfare" of "The Ontario Police Association" (a boy's club) and the politically popular promotion of the abolishment of "Club Feb" "and let's keep prisoners in jail longer", and then some dribbles to "kids fishing", "the very line" used as the "hook" to "fish" in civic minded citizens, particularly seniors?...... Kids fishing!!!... imagine... the cops using a tiny percentage of the donations to take a few token kids fishing, the very thing many individuals and organizations do at their own personal expense, just for the fun and enjoyment.
Now, imagine, thousands of disgusted citizens, students, seniors etc., simply calling the telemarketers!!! Poetic justice I'd say. Defeated by their own success!!! Throughout the day you might think of 4or5 questions to ask,..... hey!.... Ask 'em it's toll free!... You might even want to share with them how these calls "bug you" at mealtime and when you have important things to do. Who knows they might possibly, though I doubt it, even give you a passionate ear! (And maybe this story might get covered by "THE PASSIONATE EYE" (tv program)
"Alligator Dave" gives you simple low, or no-cost ammunition you decide what to do with it!
You might call CTV and ask them to re-run a mid 80.'s show about GWE ...(Great West Entertainment) and Mike Platts, and the books of tickets supposedly for handicapped children in Mississauga. And an earlier show on CBC's 5th estate of the Fund-raising for Camp Mikashone (sic) in Muskoka Ontario supposedly for handicapped athletes which didn't exist, and the laundered millions from that scam used to then finance and create GWE and the means by which to "buy" respectability, and police silence, allowing the crooks to then "weasel" their way into "Fund-raising" for recognized services clubs using their "perceived" credibility to fraudulently "rip you off." This same method of fund raising that is going on today condoned by authorities, with their full knowledge, participation and even their involvement!!
And this begs the question ......... Do handicapped children and charities use telemarketers to raise money for their cause, or are telemarketing companies using handicapped children and charities to line their pockets with millions of your hard earned dollars you thought were going to handicapped kids and charity!!
Record these scam artists and send it to us at CrimeBustersNow. If you do come across any fraud, or questionable Fund-raising don't bother with the frustrating OPP Barry Elliot and Phone Busters just e-mail it to gatoraid@sympatico.ca . We will try to expose it and track it down. Many, many apparent reputable charity fund-raising schemes are really based upon misleading or outright fraudulent misrepresentation.
Watch this site and you will be amazed at these frauds as they're exposed one by one and the people behind them. We hope this site will fill the "news vacuum" left since mainline news media has been "hijacked" by big business, pyramid fraud and the legal profession telling them which stories to run and which not.
In my view reporters have sold their "journalistic ethics" to "big business" and political persuasion. It certainly is what the, then, Kitchener-Waterloo Record their reporters (save a couple) CKCO TV, CHYM Radio and other news media did years ago when they conspired among themselves, big business and local politicians to suppress the story of the tearing down of Kitchener City Hall and the construction of the Eaton Oxley Centre. They have that power!!! Why should suppression of the news and this corruption be any different today? In fact it's worse.
A senior lady in Kitchener recently complained after a conversation with these telemarketers calling "on behalf of" the "Ont. Police Association". She had felt intimidated and coerced into donating $120. How do you think she feels to learn up to 84.5%, ($91.90) of her pension went straight into the pockets of U.S. psychological telemarketers with only $28.10 going to "the general well being" of the boy's club (Ont. Police Ass.) and who knows what little actually left to pay cops to take kids fishing!!! Is it legal??? Who knows? But, it should be questioned. It doesn't sit well with me and those I know, including good cops. I think it is a least immoral, unethical and if nothing else, at the very least "questionable."
But, now you know the truth. If you see nothing wrong with this method of Fund-raising, and if you still want to give, then at least you have an informed choice. If not, call the "phone artists" and complain 800-423-9411 and if you feel our organization informed you like none of the others, and saved you or your grandparents from shady telemarketing and if would like to donate to something worthwhile, keep the 84.5% and send CrimeBustersNow 14.5% or even half that and we will continue this fight against corruption on behalf of all citizens. Or donate more so we can get that van more quickly and go to the high schools and spread our message to the kids.
Donations accepted. We are volunteers.
Dave Pres. CBN
P.S.: Does anyone out there know how many kids were actually taken fishing by cops after this extravaganza "fund raiser?"
