Review for Carrying Capacity Network Inc, San Francisco, CA, USA

Rating: 1 stars  

I was a long-time donor to this organization but began noticing that I never heard much about their activities, they were never in the news, there didn't seem to be anyone answering the phone when I called, they only had a post office box, etc. All I ever got were repeated requests for money. Upon trying to contact their D.C. office recently I learned that the office has in fact closed and they have no staff. They have not informed their donors of this fact and someone is still soliciting donations, however.

I was also a donor to a similar organization, Population Environment Balance. I have now discovered that the two organizations shared the same office before it closed and are in fact run by the same people. I feel this is a very underhanded way to get people to unknowingly make double contributions.

They are very secretive so it is hard to determine exactly who is running the organization. After some research it appears that a David Durham in California is behind both groups. If the organization has shut down they need to stop asking people for money. I hate to think of how much I donated over the years, thinking I was supporting a good cause.
