Has anyone ever heard of this group? Supposedly they have something to do with a truck ministry.
Anyway, I got a letter from these people that really sent up some red flags with me.
First of all, the writer, a Dr. O.A. Moore, keeps referring to my husband and I as his "partners", as if we have had some prior relationship with this group (which we haven't as far as we know).
But what really got the radar going was in the middle of the letter, where he begins to ask for money. He calls it a "sacrificial seed gift" ($50) and he promises that God will "bless your sacrifice, returning to you a hundredfold". Sorry, but anytime I see a "promise" like this I lock up the wallet tighter than Scrooge's money house on a Friday night. I think the only one to get "blessed" by my sending money will be the person asking for the money. Call me what you will, but I have a feeling this is just another scam. If it isn't can someone set me right? Otherwise, maybe this will help someone else from being duped.
