RAPS U. CT choose the United
Charities as the biggest fake. I've
had some dealings with them my
self. Was out of work for four
months and applied to them for aid.
This is what they did for me. First,
a girl visited my home to investigate.
She asked 40 or so questions about
relations -if they couldn't do some
thing for me-if my brother couldn't
give me some money-and so on.
Anything, so long as they wouldn't
have to help me. Money is given them
to distribute to the poor Why don't
they do it?
This girl gave me so cents for my
wife and myself. Three days later
another girl came. She asked the
same questions and did not offer us
anything. She did, however, ask my
wife if she had anything left of the
SO cents. My wife said no. The next
day we received 81 by mail From
then on we have never heard from
them. They sent two girls out to
visit us who are paid 81 a day and
they gave us $1.50 of their graft.
Some percentage.
