Review for COMPUTERS FOR GUATEMALA INC, Norwalk, CT, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

Be aware that COMPUTERS FOR HOPE / COMPUTERS FOR GUATEMALA is being investigated for FRAUD. I would not recommend any more donations be made until this matter is resolved. For more information, contact GuideStar.com and the IRS in the USA. You will find things are not in compliance there, either.
I was personally asked to put money into one of the director's personal bank account, and another one wanted personal products we produce "in exchange" for a computer for a Guatemalan nursing school. When I said "no" to both things, all hell broke loose.

These people may well and allegedly have their "hand in the cookie jar" and the facts will soon enough reveal themselves. The wheels of justice may turn slowly, but turn they do and they will. No one should take advantage of good-hearted people who think they are helping others. This needs to stop NOW.

Instead of correcting their misdeeds, they have threatened me with court action for posting their private emails to me. I welcome this as the judge and jury will have the facts presented. Computers for Hope will have to comply with the laws governing nonprofits and charities. End of story.
