Mike Russo continues to call and threaten any who answer calls.
We've sent emails and reported to Police as you'd think they'd want to bust someone who's bascially committing fraud and stealing from PAL by saying so.
A man called with an attitude and asked to speak with my boss. He said his name was Mike Russo. I told him my boss was travelling and he said he was told that my boss was supposed to return today. I said he wouldn't return for some time and I could take a message. He provided his phone number: 201-795-5059 x37. He sounded annoyed and very urgent. My boss actually called the guy and told me "Mike Russo" also had the same annoyed attitude. Mike was being really pushy trying to get my boss to donate to his charity. If we donated, Mike would send someone to our office to pick up the check (most likely to avoid providing us with his mailing address). Also - he said all these other companies donated thousands to his charity. It sounds to me like a big scam. I looked up this number on the web and it belongs to someone with a different name.
I guy named Michael Russo or Mike Russo called our company and acted rude, and he was very short with me - not answering my questions about the purpose of his call. He sounds like a scammer. Real charities are transparent about their purpose, and do not act like they are hiding something. Beware of this guy!
This time he is using the name of Joe Carbone, not Mike Russo. Same number from an arrogant voice pretending to be from "City of Jersey City". Be aware !!
