People in Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland and Virginia and Washington, you have just been called by a potentially fraudulent fundraiser, Call your local police department and tell them that this scam is CURRENTLY happening to your neighbors. Call the local media, newspapers, tv stations even the pennysaver so they can warn everyone who did not read this board. The con men count on you not following through. You have to follow through this time, so you can help protect all the people they are calling that were not curious enough to google the phone number.
Give us 5 minutes of your time and a few well placed phone calls and you can stop this scam before it takes root in your community. It is the most charitable thing you can do, and it wont cost you a dime. 5 minutes of your time now will save your kids of having to deal with this again every year for the next 20 years like the Country has had to deal with already under the banner of the American Association of Police Officers from these exact same people. 5 minutes is all we ask, well that and for you to be as detailed in your tips as possible. It allows us to track all the phone numbers the types of fake groups use to scam you. Our database is around 1200 phone lines now and it will go up to around 10,000 in the near future. It allows us to find them as soon as they make the first fraudulent call and one of you searches 800notes.
The Supreme Court never said lying was protected speech, if they had have, we would have had to evaluate their fitness to be sitting on the Supreme Court.
If you just did not lie, you could do this legally and keep as much as 99% of the money, but you have chosen to lie, so you cant do this anymore.

We believe very deeply in the 14th Amendment equal application of law, such as, if you commit the same crime that a court has told another man is illegal, you are going to get the same treatment, it is a protection, but we are utilizing it on you as a weapon. How do you like the irony of that? Your very existence is offensive to the United States Constitution
Courts all across this land have said with one voice that the techniques Mitch Gold employed and you are using are illegal. They were illegal for Mitch Gold to use and they are illegal for David Keezer and Scott Pacsh to use, they were illegal for Duane Kolve to use and they are illegal for you to use.
You have chosen not to abide the laws we have all agreed to abide by, you have chosen to disrespect and circumvent the lawful orders of lawful Courts.
Since you wont listen to the Courts, we bet you will listen to us.
Watch out the Fraudulent Fundraising Tactics of Mitch Gold have returned for yet one more round of taking the money you try to give to the families of officers killed in the line of duty

In other words
Do NOT give this group anything and pick up the phone and call your local police and sheriff department so they can issue a warning to your neighbors so they dont get ripped off either
No kidding, they count on you to not report them thinking its no big deal, but it is a big deal, it is a very big deal as millions of dollars a year are being taken from the families of officers killed in the line of duty.

They must be stopped, tell your neighbors and friends and co workers that this scam is happening in your community, email them the links above so they can know it is happening and defend themselves from being conned in the name of officers killed in the line of duty
