Matthew Lesko et al.

Since Matthew Lesko came up at the recent Supervisors Meeting at ALA, I thought I would share: The business of government grants is thriving. Companies selling guides to government grants -- and scam artists peddling "guaranteed" government grants -- are profiting fromt he false notion that the government has billions of dollars available to help people pay their credit-card bills and other expenses. This is due, in part, to the exaggerations and misleading claims spread by Matthew Lesko and the nationwide network of Lesko distributers. Excerpt from Secrets Revealed! Let Uncle Sam Pay Your Bills! How misleading advertising is feeding a nationwide boom in government grant scams. A Report by the New York State Consumer Protection Board. Dec. 2004. 33pp. By the way thanks to our hosts at the Donors Forum and Chicago and the FC staff for doing these sessions.
