church scam

A random solicitation from a church with a PO box for an address? Hmm.

OTOH, you must be getting really famous dude!
 
Looks like a Craig Steven Grodman uses PO Box 834 and also owns the house located at

650 Glenquist Ave
Lehigh Acres, FL 33974
 
I would mail them a used condom full of my "litter swimmers", this would clearly be of great value to them (as a raffle prize) as they could be used to procreate their flock... :D

I get solicitations at my office on a regular basis asking for donations. Usually what they ask for and the reason they claim to need it does not match. We actually donate tens of thousands every year, but not to anyone soliciting us.

A regular is one supposedly from a celibate nun practicing full silence. Always asking for some fairly sophisticated office equipment, with the donation going to a nun friend living and working out of a hut with no electricity in an Amazon jungle. Yeah, full disconnect there. [emoji23]. But she does always include a little thumbnail sized picture of her and her friend, printed on a very low res inkjet printer. Usually get a little hand written note and pic about once each month.

The beggars and scams seem to increase constantly. Even our daily regular orders have to be "vetted" and takes a bunch of time that we didn't have to do 20 years ago. Unfortunately about half of them are from crooks/scammers/stolen credit cards.

Last week received a purchase order from a well known Boston University. Doing a bit of research before hearing back from the university purchasing department, discovered that the requested $15,000 worth of product be delivered to a "new receiving location ". Turned out to be a grungy little house just off campus, but near their central receiving. Of course insisting on net 60 terms for the university. So if we fell for it, would be around 60-90 days before we started calling the Uni asking for payment. By then the crooks would be looooong gone.

My reply to our buddy Craig:


Mr. Grodmann,
Do I know you? Have we even met? Is your church address really a post office box?

In general, I try to help where I can, when I can. Your email, which appears to have been sent to a number of knife makers, judging by your use of a bcc, is struggling to convince me to give you much of anything. Is there any chance you'd like to explain this, or perhaps even explain who the heck you are?

Regards,

Matt Gregory
 
He CC'd it to "craig.grodmann@minister.com" which is an invalid domain name.
 
Matt, just send me your donation, along with all the cash you have on you, and I'll make sure it gets to him.


:D
