'Action 25 News' a Scam
February 27, 2008
A would-be "consumer reporter" for "Action 25 News" is using the fake TV station to scam people, reports WCPO Cincinnati.
John Matarese writes: Consumers across the country are being directed, through online job searches, to a webpage for "Consumer Reporter Dave Howard." He works for "Action 25 News" in Macon Georgia...and is listed on their website along with their anchor team (great looking people for a tiny TV market!) and even the local weather forecast.
Only problem: Dave Howard and "Action 25 News" don't exist! The BBB says "Action 25" is a fake TV station. with a bogus website, set up for the sole purpose of selling a work at home program.
Scam victims are paying $250 for a work at home kit endorse by "Consumer Reporter Dave Howard," who says just about any knucklehead can earn up to $85,000 a year.
As we reported in the current B&C, WCPO works side by side with KYPost.com, the former daily paper relaunched as a Website this year. Unlike "Action 25 News," both are positively legit news outfits.
