Social Exploitation

WBTV has posted this article on their site:

The group raised $712 which it planned to use to help in the search and to offer counseling to the police involved in the investigation. Police told WBTV they never knew or approved the fundraising on their behalf.

The Spiritual Counseling Network's co-pastor, Brandon Greeson says the group is cooperating with the Attorney General office's inquiry. Greeson says the Attorney General's office wants to see their paperwork on donors, donations, charity status and tax records. Greeson says all of the money raised in Baker's name will go to charity.

Meanwhile, the Attorney General office wants to hear from people who donated.

Call their Consumer Protection Hotline at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM.

I would also like to hear from people who have been harassed by them while they were going to and from the Catawba Valley Behavioral Health facility.  It seems that Brandon Greeson and Tim Curtis HARASSED and INTIMIDATED employees and people in front of the facility using a bullhorn on numerous occasions, and I am fairly certain that the town of Hickory is not sad to see these sad sacks finally get their comeuppance.

If this fund is SO transparent and on the up and up, why then does the site now redirect to the Hickory Refuge Church?  We are challenging Brandon Greeson, Tim Curtis and Uziel Medina to make a statement because as it stands now it is our opinion that this fund is a FRAUD, and the actions of this group further prove their dishonesty.

They were "working it hard this weekend and working it online".  I wonder if the reporter, Sharon Smith of WBTV knows that Brandon Greeson of Spiritual Counseling Network and Tim Curtis were THREATENING to sue people for having an opinion of them, and using intimidating means to shut them up?  Maybe she needs to know.
