Unfortunately,
today I was contacted by a Sports Team who told me that someone I recently
worked with had scammed them out of $18,000.00.
Seriously is there any lower form of life than a person who scams a
charity? Phil Gaughan from DBCF is that kind of individual.
This industry is very small, everyone knows everyone especially when you have a fantastic reputation such as I and BW Unlimited Charity Fundraising does.
This
individual spent enough time with me and my business to learn just the surface
level of what I do. However, he did not
learn about the years it took to build a reputation that was founded on
integrity. He would go out to a team and
ask them if they wanted to raise money for a certain charity at their
games. He then would scam vendors out of
items and then set up at the games.
People would either purchase or bid on the items. Oddly enough, he didn’t give the proceeds to
the team or the charity nor did he pay the vendor from which he acquired the
items.
Ladies and
Gentlemen…I have been in business now nearly 10 years. I challenge you or anyone to search the
internet to find one bad remark about me or my business.
There are
scam artists out there who will steal from you either with providing fake
autographed items or by straight out stealing.
Remember, where there is money, there will be snakes.
Pay
attention, research who you are talking to…ensure that you are protected. Look for signs of a successful business – the
quality of their website shows you how much they invested in themselves. Look how they dress when you meet with them –
look for Red Flags. Trust your gut.
