I AM SO UPSET

[Guest]

I’m sorry for your loss.

I’m not sure of the laws for your state, but I don’t believe he can

charge you anything unless he told you up front at the beginning of

the conversation that his “services” were chargable and you agreed to

the terms and rate.

I would contact the better business bureau and report both the person

who you talked to at the donation office and the person she referred

you to. If this woman is working for a charitable organization, she is

obligated to not do anything that will cause harm to the charity name

and reputation. Calling the BBB should be free and who knows, they

could already have other calls on file. I would also call the charity

and let them know what this person is doing by referring clients to

this man. She may be getting around their recording by stating he is a

“funeral director” and making it seem legit. You will be helping

protect others from their scam as well.

If you gave out any financial information such as bank names,

accounts, etc. be sure to contact your bank and let them know that you

are not authorizing these people to touch your money, that they got

your information fraudulantly. Be pro-active. Better to be safe and

warn everyone up front than to fight for your money back should

something happen down the road.

I’m sorry that you had to go through this at all but during such a

sad, stressful time is just terrible and speaks volumes about the

character of such people involved.

Thanks for sharing your story with us.
