Those associated with the Spiritual Network and the Hickory Refuge just cannot seem to not just shut their pie holes and move on. Rather than clean up their act and walk the straight and narrow, members (if there are more than three) of the Spiritual Counseling Network decided to perpetrate another fraud. This time by using the name of a former coworker who was employed at the Catawba Valley Behavioral Health facility. Apparently this is their MO. They pretend to be someone they are not (remember Samantha Miller - Timmy and Brandy want to be Samantha).
For the past week or so someone has pretended to be Sharon S., a former employee at CVBH. This "woman" made many "opinions" about Brandon Greeson and Timothy Curtis, MCC, CNA. How is it that someone who works in the healthcare profession can behave like such a psychotic piece of crap? The use of intimidation and threats of Jesus reigning hellfire and brimstone upon those who aren't playing their warped game of Hide and KEEP, is sinful. These men are not men of God. God becomes a quick excuse when they get caught with their pants down.
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. http://www.wbtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=13446177
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.
This was posted by an anonymous commenter (I assume one of the faux ministers from Spiritual Counseling Network) and I will assume this is from them until told otherwise. If the press would like to call them for comment, you can reach them by trying to access the www.zahrabaker.com website that takes you to their new church site.
PRESS STATEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 3, 2010
HICKORY, NC – Spiritual Counseling Network Healing & Deliverance Center makes the following statement to the media:
On October 18, 2010 we started the Zahra Baker Fund to assist in locating and supporting efforts to locate Zahra Baker, a 10-year old Australian-native who went missing in our hometown of Hickory, NC. From the beginning, our efforts were totally sincere and genuine.
The media circus that has resulted primarily the result of false accusations and lies, and a number of threats of violence we have received, has caused us to rethink our efforts to assist in this endeavor. After careful consideration, the Board of Elders has decided to suspend our efforts. Effectively immediately, Spiritual Counseling Network will no longer accept donations or make solicitation for Zahra Baker Fund.
To date, we have raised $712.29. At this time, we are prayerfully awaiting the discovery of Zahra’s body. Once it is found, we will offer support to cover expenses related to her funeral/memorial or to aid in the transportation of her body back to Australia – as is decided by her family (which lives in Australia). We may also assist with transportation costs associated with her family coming from Australia to the United States to claim Zahra’s body. If no assistance is needed, we will disperse the balance of the account to a non-profit organization that educates the public against child abuse, neglect and/or exploitation - likely one who has assisted in Zahra’s disappearance.
We encourage the public that would still like to support ongoing efforts to locate Zahra, to make financial gifts to the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. Individuals interested in giving financially for a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible, are encouraged to give to a local Crime Stoppers organization who are already offering rewards in this case.
Following legal advice we have received, no further comment will be available at this time surrounding any potential legal actions that we may be considering against individual(s) or any actions against individuals who have disseminated threats of violence against the ministry and our staff.
# # #
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.

The last few days have been very productive and informative, and much more of the two pigs from Hickory, North Carolina, Brandon Greeson and Timothy Curtis, has been exposed than can be shown on this blog. Just trust in us that this is true.
It takes a special kind of dirt bag to steal from the emotionally distraught. While most churches engage in behavior that involves going out into their community to give back and are involved in programs such as food drives, and providing financial assistance to the community at large in the form of rental and utility assistance - the bloodsuckers at Spiritual Counseling Network currently known as Hickory Refuge Church aka www.zahrabaker.com are doing nothing more than TAKING, TAKING and more TAKING from a community that is already on its knees because of the death of 10-year old Zahra Baker. These men jumped on the opportunity to use this dead child's lifeless body as a marketing platform. They have an agenda. They have had an agenda since October 15th when Brandon Greeson bought the zahrabaker.com domain.
Most ministries would be out in their community speaking to their fellow man about Zahra's life and trying to make sense of her senseless death, but not Timothy Curtis the FAKE credentialed doctor or Brandon Greeson, the online ordained ministers who operate the Zahra Baker Fund. Instead of doing what most clergy do in a time when their community needs them to help a torn community heal, they've got their eye on the money and are pushing people to give money to them. Just last week they were working the crowd on their Facebook group to keep donating so they could make their $10,000 goal by the weekend. That was before their group was shut down. *smirks* Hmm, wonder how that happened.
 Rather than being out in their community assisting in finding Zahra as their fund initially stated, they were out at the WalMart panhandling. They have not once been on a search. They have instead used the internet to drum up interest in their Zahra Baker Fund and have jumped in front of a television camera every opportunity that they could, and when all is said and done - these men are going to be shown for the swine that they are. They are not what they seem. The term Judas comes to mind. They used the internet to create fake personas on Facebook to harvest personal information in an attempt to intimidate individuals into silence from speaking out against them - which I find to be particularly offensive considering that Brandon Greeson is not only a political activist, but a gay rights activist who speaks out against such things. HOW DARE HE or his accomplice silence anyone using fear or intimidation!! From what we are hearing, these men have a history of this behavior in their town and people are sick of being bullied by them.
When Spiritual Counseling Network applied for exempt status with the Secretary of State's office they were obviously contacted again by the State for additional information. It was this letter that was sent to the state that we found HYSTERICAL. Tim Curtis needs to take a remedial English class and learn punctuation placement. I have transcribed the letter he sent to the Secretary of State and have included the rogue periods and misspelled proper nouns. Even I, am embarrassed for this giant pile of cow dung for his lame attempt at trying to use big boy words and not have a clue.
The Spiritual Counseling Network who is responsible for the " Find Zahra Baker Fund" claims to also be providing Christian Counseling -in contrast to what defines North Carolina's interpretation of pastoral counseling services. Tim Curtis fancies himself a Doctor, however, his degree is WORTHLESS in the greater scheme of things. He had to buy his degree from an online church, and he did so in an effort to promote his business, and to enhance his credentials so as to hold himself out as something that he is not. Mr. Curtis' willingness to proffer fake credentials and hold himself out as a "Doctor of Divinity" is not only a testament to his blatant dishonesty, but a shining example of his overall morals and character.
Diploma mills are everywhere, and Mr. Curtis and his associates were "ordained" online through the Universal Church of Life Ministries. The fact of the matter is this, Spiritual Counseling Network, obtained false credentials in an effort to make themselves and their new business seem legitimate. By using the fake credentials and pastoral ordinations, they used this social standing to advertise pastoral counseling which in turn would cause potential clients to rely on the expertise and perceived success behind the title of DOCTOR and reverend. Therefore, new clients would be more likely to purchase their counseling services which they offered at a discounted price as evidenced by their website. This deception is called FRAUD. Color it any way you want to - it is a deceptive practice and deception is fraud. Holding oneself out as a counselor infers that one has successfully reached a level of professional training and has graduated an accredited college or university to provide counseling. An experienced counselor is not someone who worked in a mental health facility as an RA. The following is from their site that they have now pulled. Why does a pastor accept insurance?
We do not accept any insurance. We strive to make our rates affordable - in most cases about the same as you would typically pay for an insurance co-pay.
For those unable to meet the full cost of counseling, a fee adjustment can be made in order to make services available to almost everyone. The primary considerations for using the sliding fee are income level and special circumstances. Many churches also provide financial assistance to make these services a reality for their members. Clients are encouraged to discuss financial arrangements confidentially with their Counselor. Source
Tim Curtis and Brandon Greeson have been running around like chickens with their heads cut off while they clean up and reword their website so it does not show that they were practicing psychology without a license and accepting money for counseling which is in violation of North Carolina law. Greeson and Curtis also are so paranoid about being fingered for being the frauds that they are, that they reported the images of themselves to the image host and had them removed for terms of service violations. Well, turn abouts are fair play - isn't that what they say?
Greeson and Curtis are criminals. Please report them to the North Carolina Attorney General's Office for fraud. The manager at the Granite City Walmart is not happy about the fact that these clowns are pretending that there is a "Walmart Outreach Fund" and intimating that the monies came from Walmart. Walmart does NOT stand behind these criminals and does not support their website. The information for North Carolina Attorney General's Office for General Consumer Complaints: please submit electronically or print the "Consumer Complaint" form in PDF and mail it in. You can also call to request a Consumer Complaint form, or mail the required information in the form of a letter. You can call toll free within North Carolina at 1-877-5-NO-SCAM, at (919) 716-6000 from outside of North Carolina, or at (919) 716-0058 for Spanish speakers.
 These men do not care about Zahra or finding her. They have an agenda. They care about making money while standing on the back of her dead body. Are they out searching for her? I doubt it. IMO, they are frauds. To show how easy it is to be a minister, I have linked the Universal Church of Life where the Three Little Pigs got their certificates from.

EDITED to add: It appears that Mr. Greeson complained to the image host and had the previous photo removed. I saved a copy! You're welcome! I also am beginning to wonder why the Sheriff in Hickory isn't going balls out on these guys. Is it because he had placed the asp to his breast? These clowns were in the jail feeding the inmates. Brandon got to go in and see some of his old neighbors.
Nope, Brandon Greeson doesn't have ANYTHING to do with Mastercard or VISA, does he? Tell that to your Probation Officer, Brandon!!
