Defrauding Schools, Teachers, and Schoolchildren

The Great TakingITGlobal/DeforestACTION Swindle

Here’s how the scam works:

kids want to save the forests

and cute animals;

so, get schools involved,*

recruit gullible teachers,†

bank loads of money.‡

Kids raise donations

and provide advertisements

voluntarily ^§

(though anyone else

using unpaid child-labour

would be in trouble).

Best of all is this:

a registered NPO

pays no income tax!

DeforestACTION:

raking it in globally—

profitable con.

‡  TakingITGlobal provides an audited financial statement no later than that of 2008: the revenues [in Canadian dollars] for 2008 (excluding in-kind contributions and amortisation of capital contributions) were $1,623,029, whilst salaries, benefits and internships were $965,360; advertising and promotion cost $412,547; and travel cost $320,064.

a charity in NZ)

pays its collectors.
