Cld our office today. Was soliciting an ad sponsorship on behalf of Louisiana & Texas State Troopers.

This company is phone room, that double bills unsuspecting customers. They send out a bill, then when the magazine is printed they attach another bill. Never say renewal. Scam alert. Danny Ross answers phone. Sounds like a woman but it's a man.

This is The APB trying to collect on an invoice I forgot to pay...oops!

Got a call today from Bill Davis, said he was calling on a bill i owe for an ad they printed. I just hung up.

It's amusing that there would be a post from Steve Inman or Gracie on this as Gracie worka for Steve Inman and they would never write anything about the APB as they are the Journal magazine. The poster of these messages is actuality Richard Chase AKA Bill Davis who now works for The Deputy Memorial which is a total scam magazine not affiliated with law enforcement whatsoever! Richard Chase worked for the APB and quit then went to work for the Deputy Memorial so he is trying to get people to not sponsor an actual non profit association of law enforcement officers shame on you Richard Chase!

I got interested in this cause I got a call from a Lisa Allen from this number. Just got my Journal Magazine. Asked them about the APB. They said [***]. Non-Profit? Heck. They give 10-15% of the total. They said they're the rip-off. Shame on you Lisa Allen for lying. Auto theft. Who cares? Wounded Warriors, Fallen officers like Deputy Memorial, and Game Warden real deal. Sounds like this Richard Chase and Bill Davis saw the light and maybe a better cause. Your magazine sounds bitter. Childish behavior. Grow up.

All I know is I got an invoice from APB. From a Lisa Allen if that's her real name. I never authorized it. It was a past due invoice with an address. A new address from the old one. I looked it up and they moved for sure. They down graded their location. From office to warehouse cubby hole. The Jefferson's were moving on up! Sounds like the APB is moving on down! APB please take me off your call list. Thank you.

Said i agreed to put an ad in.
I did not..SCAM

This is a scam called stating we never received our magazine got the magazine and a bill never agreed to anything be aware!!!!

We do produce published magazine for different states and chapters and officers abroad it is nonprofit and funds are used for the officers /members in the association targeted at no specific entity since we are embodied by many titled law enforcement officers including troopers and etc

Sorry for your mistake. . there is no scam involved with our organization or association and if you feel a certain way ,then we can help you get direct contact with our officers to conclude your discern. .. The internet is a good way to make a bad name on others just by typing what you want ... If a problem with ours then contact us and not random stuff off the internet. .. No cowards here
Further more our association has been established since 1952 with 4200plus officers and members abroad including multiple departments even FBI. ..we produce a full color publication 3 times a year for the sponots and officers... Nonprofit 601c(6) organization
Officers official website is www.iaati.org and our magazine  is also only e go to www.issue.com search apb magazine
Don't make accusations behind your computer sir we always work few months in advance on the mag and call our sponsors prior to print. And make sure we can count on them to stand behind the officers and cause...if you have an ad in our magazine then that means you did agree and more than likely not even your first time participate in our organization check your records

Be advised Mr bill Davis is not a current employee with our organization or cause

Thanks for alerting us to your scam "hero charity" organization.  Looks like I have some homework to do.

According to this website they seem to use up all the money themselves:  https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/436058121

Their 2015 Form 909 lists no donations to officers other than themselves and also lists money for “public officials” for travel and entertainment of $51,283.  Public officials would be elected so this must be some sort of barely legal bribe being paid to them:  https://pp-990.s3.amazonaws.com/2016_10_EO/43 ... 3a13ef8c7377443

For an organization that has been around for 65 years, how is it the BBB only started a file on the in 2018, listing them as no rating due to lack of information:  https://www.bbb.org/upstate-new-york/business ... on-ny-235991541

Outfit seems to be a 501(c)(6) not a 601(c)(6) and the donations are not tax deductible:

They are not listed in New York State even though they claim that is their main office.

Also note that they burned through over $208,000 of the $254,737 they took in in 2015.  Where did it all go?  Not to any officers, as they charge for the training programs they offer.

Sorry, but I forgot to run the address in whois.  Looks like this organization is run off of a kitchen table:  https://www.google.com/maps/place/3899+Founta ... 9!4d-75.3763545

As to putting out a magazine, I would hope that you are neither an editor nor a proofreader for its publication.
