Could This Be One of The Democrat's Voter Turnout Schemes?
Is it possible that this is one of the Democrat's voter scams?
ATLANTA - So far, no one has proven it's a scam, but they haven't proven it's for real either.
This week more than 700 senior citizens filled out a rather skimpy form promising a $500 check from the American Opportunities Stimulus Program.
They filled in sensitive information like their name, address, birth date and social security numbers, all with the promise of getting a Visa Check card in return.
But on Thursday, Fulton County government put out a warning that it might be an identity theft scam.
They even sent their own camera crew to the Atlanta headquarters of Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network, where the forms were being handed out by Vanessa Emerson and her son, Brandon.
After the alarm went out, Brandon Emerson returned hundreds of the forms to the NAN headquarters at 632 Peoples Street so they could be given back to the seniors who filled them out.
Even though his mother was wearing a NAN T-shirt in the Fulton County government video, her son claimed they are not affiliated with the organization.
Eventually the Southeast Regional Director for NAN showed up at the headquarters and began reassuring seniors no one was going to compromise the information.
Tyleis Speight admitted to 11 Alive News the forms had been collected there, but claimed she was a victim, too.
"National Action Network has been frauded as well," Speight said.
She said they're still trying to find out who was responsible.
Nobody tries to steal the identity of people, for monetary gain, when people will give the info for the "promise" of $500. It's obvious what was going on here. I wonder why there is so little information about this on the Internet? I also wonder why nobody has been charged with fraud yet?
I wonder if these people will be "voting" Democrat? Wink, wink...
