U.S. Navy Veterans scam
Once under the
radar,
now in the spotlight
Bobby Thompson
ran U.S. Navy
Veterans Association
in Tampa for eight
years, raising
nearly $100 million
from donors
nationwide. In March
2010, the Tampa Bay
Times exposed Navy
Veterans as a sham.
Its offices were UPS
mail drops, its
directors
non-existent, its
donations to former
military minimal.
Even Thompson's
identity was fake.
In June 2010,
just as state and
federal officials
were preparing
criminal charges,
Thompson
disappeared. He was
caught April 30,
2012, by U.S.
Marshals in
Portland, Ore., and
arrested on charges
of money laundering,
fraud and identity
theft. Thompson had
spent two years
moving around the
country, constantly
changing identities,
even starting a new
charity.
Follow the Times

of Bobby Thompson,
whose true identity
is still unknown.

With American troops fighting wars on
multiple fronts, instances of fraudulent
veterans’ claims, or Stolen Valor, have
been on the rise. I am writing to you
today to discuss a local Stolen Valor
claim which is of great concern to area
veterans.
Anthony Thomas of
Cleveland, Ohio has
been claiming that he is an Air Force
veteran while on Facebook under the name
(Ace Thomas).
I noticed that Anthony Thomas Facebook
page has the Air Force Logo and he has
military photos and impersonating an
actual member of the military
while never serving in the United States
Air Force.
Fraudulently claiming or wearing
unauthorized military awards is a
federal crime punishable by up to a year
in prison and up to $150,000 in fines.
I hope you will consider looking into
Anthony Thomas claims and the negative
effects on the local veterans’
community.

Linda K. MaySelf Proclaimed
Agent Orange & Mold & Depleted Uranium International
Expert
As many of you are aware, Linda K. May of
Pontiac, Illinois has done everything in her power
to inject herself into the limelight all across the
country as a self proclaimed medical expert on Agent
Orange Dioxin, Mold, and now an expert on Depleted
Uranium.
If you’ve paid Ms. May any money at all, and not
received the services as were promised, and if
you’ve not done so already, I strongly advising to
please spend the $30-50 dollars and file a claim in
small claims court, and have the filing served to
her Attorney Mr. Mark Cullen of Sorling, Northrup,
Hanna, Cullen & Cochran, Ltd., 607 E. Adams Street
#800, Springfield, Illinois.
You might also choose to simply write to Mr.
Cullen, call or fax. Their office telephone
#217-544-1144, fax #217-522-3173.
Veterans-For-Change, OFFE and VFVC have all done
their level best to insure veterans aren’t scammed
and suckered into spending money they don’t have for
a test that cannot prove whether you were
contaminated by Agent Orange Dioxin 5-days ago or
40-years ago.
If you served in Korea, Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos,
Guam, or one of the many other places including but
not limited to CONUS, WE know you were contaminated
so a test of any kind will not help in proving or
disproving a claim for VA Benefits and Care.
Your military records, medical records, buddy &
family letters can and would prove this for you.
We’re still seeking out any doctors who read our
newsletter would be so kind as to contact us via
E-Mail and let us know if you believe and can prove
beyond a doubt that a DNA PCR test could be used to
test human urine samples for Dioxin with documented
scientific proof.
Everyone who walks this planet of ours has some
level of dioxin in their body from grains such as
whole wheat used to make bread, etc.
We’re attempting to gather any and all medical
and scientific evidence we can to show the claim(s)
being made are false and would post all information
to the website for veterans to use to protect
themselves.
Ms. May has claimed via E-Mail that she has over
40 investors and plans to make millions of dollars.
My question to those investors, have you actually
seen the test performed? Have you actually seen the
laboratory? Have you actually seen the registered
patent for this test of Ms. May’s?
If you’ve been one of the past victims and
actually received written “test results”, do you see
the laboratory name clearly printed at the top or
bottom of the report with their address, phone and
fax number? Do you see an FDA “CLEA” number printed
on the report? If not, then I’d say you were scammed
by a sink lab operation!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.mail-archive.com/apfn@googlegroups.com/msg01398.html
I wanted to bring some truly good news to light,
and at the same time say a huge thank you to some
folks who helped put this all together!
Recently it came to me that a Ms. Linda May of
Pontiac Illinois was attempting to peddle a test kit
and lab testing to elderly and veterans that could
detect dioxin's from Agent Orange and would help in
VA Claims and how she was an expert in her field and
had testified for many veterans and helped them win
their claims.
In addition she was claiming many other outrageous
things as contracts with the DoD, the VA, EPA, OSHA,
etc. and would never provide any written
documentation, evidence or medical research.
Ms. May talks a good game and I'm sure many of you
who served in Korea and Viet Nam were at one point
touched by AO, or have fellow vets who have and in
many cases are ill, terminal or have since passed on
havingapplied for benefits and been denied.

"The most recent scam used telephone calls to
solicit donations to enable veterans to speak at
schools. The scammer states that they represent
a veteran organization not associated with the
Legion. Many veteran organizations, especially
the Legion, have long-standing relationships
with schools. To my knowledge, there is not one
veteran organization that charges for a
Veteran’s appearance. Don’t be fooled by this
scam.
The second scam is much more involved. It
specifically targets veterans suffering, or
potentially suffering, from Depleted Uranium
(DU) or Agent Orange (AO) poisoning and are
having difficulty proving their claim to
government. The scam involves supplying a urine
sample and paying $560.00/person, to receive
“guaranteed” analysis.
The name associated with the scam is
Ms. Linda K. May
B.S., R.N., B.S.N.; it is unknown if this is a
real name or an alias. The name Linda K May is
associated with scams covering a variety of
subjects including: mold, Nuclear Security,
Agent Orange, and the newest is Depleted

Scams Target Veterans
By
David on October 26, 2011 in
Veteran,
Why Complain
Typically criminals target the vulnerable: the elderly,
the ill, the disenfranchised, and more recently
veterans.
In the past month two scams targeting veterans and
veteran issues were brought to my attention.
The most recent scam used telephone calls to solicit
donations to enable veterans to speak at schools. The
scammer states that they represent a veteran
organization not associated with the Legion. Many
veteran organizations, especially the Legion, have
long-standing relationships with schools. To my
knowledge, there is not one veteran organization that
charges for a Veteran’s appearance. Don’t be fooled by
this scam.
The second scam is much more involved. It specifically
targets veterans suffering, or potentially suffering,
from Depleted Uranium (DU) or Agent Orange (AO)
poisoning and are having difficulty proving their claim
to government. The scam involves supplying a urine
sample and paying $560.00/person, to receive
“guaranteed” analysis.
The name associated with the scam is Ms. Linda K. May
B.S., R.N., B.S.N.; it is unknown if this is a real name
or an alias. The name Linda K May is associated with
scams covering a variety of subjects including: mold,
Nuclear Security, Agent Orange, and the newest is
Depleted Uranium. The company names associated with the
scam include Warbler of Illinois and LKM Health and
Safety Consultants. The name Linda K. May is associated
with scams or scam attempts in California, Connecticut,
Michigan, and Illinois.
Some basic research can provide enough information to
avoid being scammed. For example:
- An accountant occupies the address that Warbler
of Illinois uses – I used reverse look up – and
called the number associated with the address.
- I attempted to contact LKM Health and Safety
Consultants’ landline phone was disconnected but the
cell phone number (used a Maryland prefix) was
operational. I called the Cell phone number 8 times
and left messages. I did not receive a response to
any of my calls.
- Linda K May claims that she can gain access to
the Illinois State University to conduct the urine
tests. I called the university, but no one
associated with Linda K May was given access to
university facilities. Universities have to be very
careful when granting access to facilities for a
variety of legal and insurance reasons. The scam may
involve “kitchen sink analysis” a scam where samples
are poured down the kitchen sink and a false report
is generated.
Research on the Internet for scams associated with the
name Linda K. May provided the flowing links:
-------------------------------------------
03/2012
My local Canadian Vets Association was the target
of a scam involving a one Ms Linda K Cardiff May,
BS,RN,BSN. She claimed to be the CEO of Warbler of
Illinois Company.
This person drove to Ontario Canada and
presented local members with false claims and
documentation of her medical qualifications and
asked for urine samples from members to conduct
Depleted Uranium tests on the samples and left the
country with said samples.
What can be done to prosecute this person?
Thank you.

FAKE
Ranger Medic Handbooks
There
are a couple of fake Ranger Medic
Handbooks on Amazon and digital for
the Kindle http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=ranger+medic+handbook&x=0&y=0
We have an agreement with the
copyright holder that North American
Rescue is the sole distributer of
the RMH and all profits from the
book go to a charity of the their
choice. The charity is always a
Wounded Warrior type charity and is
currently the Sentinels of Freedom
which was founded by a father of 3
brothers in the 75th (Mike Conklin) http://www.sentinelsoffreedom.org/sof_rw/sof.cfm.
The copyright holder is currently in
contact with Amazon to deal with the
3 companies publishing the RMH and
we are waiting on the results from
this to see when to get some of
NAR's lawyers involved. One of the
versions on Amazon is listed as the
2011 version which is completely
bogus. Talking with the guys that
write the book and having them look
at it online about the versions out
there they determined that it was a
draft of the 2007 version before the
edits were finished. If we were
just trying to make money on this
book it would be one thing, but
these guys are taking money away
from Wounded Warrior charities and
it is not the current version they
are claiming it is.

Bruce Wayne Rhoades aka Rhodes & Sawyer
//
Veteran's Outreach Mission Inc.
Read to inform yourself of a
veteran scam
operation from Oklahoma that is coming here.
KFOR-TV (NBC Channel4) in Oklahoma City has
reported recently on
Veteran's Outreach Mission Inc.
run by a man named Bruce Wayne Rhoades
aka Rhodes & Sawyer.
Rhoades, a convicted felon out of Oklahoma
County, ran a house raffle in Oklahoma City
and collected thousands of dollars to be
used for a
"veteran's rehab center."
In addition, Rhoades used senior citizen
employees through an
AARP program
but never paid them. Any money that was
collected during fundraising was immediately
taken by Rhoades. Former employees claim
there were no receipts or books kept. In
checking with the IRS, Veteran's Outreach
Mission Inc. nor Bruce Rhoades hold any
non-profit or 501 (c)3 status or
registration.
However, as of Oct. 18, 2011, Mr. Rhoades
registered
Veteran's Outreach Mission Inc.
with the Dallas County court clerk at the
address of 1100 W. Main Suite 115 Grand
Prairie, TX. This is a hotel room!
We wanted the legitimate veteran groups in
Texas to be made aware of this scam and any
possible conflict with their efforts to
assist veterans.

Back in July, WFAA-Channel 8's Byron Harris spent quite some time
digging into the doings of the Kennedale-based United States Fallen
Heroes Foundation, which said it was a nonprofit raising funds
to construct a memorial in Tarrant County to servicemen and women killed
in action since September 11, 2001. Turned out, the Mansfield man who
was running it at the time, Walter Coleman, falsely represented himself
as a veteran and "fabricated IRS forms to create the impression that his
foundation was a legitimate, registered 501(c)(3) public charity,"
according to the Texas Attorney General's Office on August 31 of last
year --
when
Greg Abbott's office filed suit against the Fallen Heroes Foundation.
Coleman quit right before he was to respond to a subpoena from the AG's
office........

WARNING TO VETERANS
Sent: Thursday, November 25, 2010 7:36 AM
Subject:
WARNING TO VETERANS
*In 2006,
the
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of the
General Counsel (OGC) corresponded with Veterans
Affairs Services (VAS) regarding concerns that the
organization's name and seal created the
impression that VAS was affiliated with, or endorsed
by, the Department. OGC advised the Veterans
Benefits Administration (VBA) of these concerns and
VBA circulated the information. VAS later added a
disclaimer at the top of its website home page that
addressed some of our concerns. No further action
was taken.
Section 5902(a) of title 38, United States Code,
authorizes VA to recognize organizations for the
limited purpose of ensuring competent representation
of Veterans seeking benefits. Organizations like VAS
may provide services to Veterans without VA
recognition, including informational websites, if
the services do not include assistance with the
preparation, presentation, and
prosecution of claims for VA benefits. The recent e-mail message warning Veterans about
VAS' activities, which has been widely disseminated,
is from an unknown source but contains some of the
information discussed with VAS and VBA in 2006.
* (original message)
WARNING TO VETERANS - Forwarded by Kevin Secor, VSO
Liaison, Office of the
Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs. An organization called Veterans Affairs Services
(VAS) is providing benefit and general information
on VA and gathering personal information on
veterans. This organization is not affiliated with
VA in any way.
http://www.vaservices.org/us/index.htmlVAS may be gaining access to military personnel
through their close resemblance to the VA name and
seal. Our Legal Counsel has requested that we
coordinate with DoD to inform military
installations, particularly mobilization sites, of
this group and their lack of affiliation or
endorsement by VA to provide any services.
In addition, GC requests that if you have any
examples of VAS acts that violate chapter 59 of
Title 38 United States Code, such as VAS employees
assisting veterans in the preparation and
presentation of claims for benefits, please pass any
additional information to Mr.Daugherty at the

The
Top 20 Most Decorated REAL U.S. Military Personnel
|
A guy is driving around in the North Georgia
mountains and sees a sign in front of a broken down shanty-style
house: "Talking Dog for Sale."
He rings the bell and the owner appears and tells him the dog is in
the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking
Labrador retriever sitting there.
"You talk?" he asks. "Yep," the Lab replies.
After the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says
"So, what's your story?"
The Lab looks up and says, "Well, I discovered that I could talk
when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told
the CIA and they had me sworn into the toughest branch of the armed
services .... the United States Marines ... you know one of their
nicknames is "The Devil Dogs". In no time at all they had me
jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world
leaders; because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was
one of their most valuable spies for eight years running, but the
jetting around really tired me out and I knew I wasn't getting any
younger. So, I decided to settle down. I retired from the Corps (8 dog
years is 56 Corps years) and signed up for a job at the airport to do
some undercover security, wandering near suspicious characters and
listening in."
The dog continues - "I uncovered some incredible dealings and was
awarded a batch of medals. I got married, had a mess of puppies, and
now I'm just retired."
The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants
for the dog. "Ten dollars," the guy says. "Ten dollars?
This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"
"Because he's a liar. He never did any of that shit. Hell, he was
in the Navy!"
