In 2014, I was informed by the Thompson family, whom uncovered a alleged scam which was being done by the National Action Network in which certain individuals working for the organization would use the group name, to get low income minorities to pay them for getting them legal services.  During this time, the organization had been put on notice that these actions was occuring within their organization.  A few months after the Lennox Abrigo article was published on my blog.  Another woman came forward with similiar allegations of misconduct being done in Texas with the same organization representatives.  Even though the victims was offered or returned the money, the damage was worth far more then it was worth.   The story goes as follow from the victim Joyce Pipkins:  7/2/2014

To Whom It may concern:

My name is Joyce Pipkins and I am a single Mother of two kids that are still in school. In 2011, we had a life changing experience to happen to our family.  We lost our home to foreclosure.  The unfair practices of our homeowner’s insurance companies, State Farm Lloyds paid a big part in this. On February 14, 2011, I filed a claim with State Farm Lloyds Insurance   for   water damages to my home located at 34 Buena Vista Dr. in Marshall, Texas. State Farm Lloyds Insurance sent their adjuster to my home and it was determined there was a leak under the foundation of my home. State Farm Lloyds later sent contractors to my home who I later found out were not licensed nor did they pull a permit to do the necessary repairs. The repairs were not correctly done causing further damages to my home and in effect forced me to relocate my family. Due to this relocation, my family and I have incurred emotional and financial strain and the home has been foreclosed on and sold. I have been unsuccessful with resolving this issue with State Farm Lloyds directly. So, I contacted an attorney from Houston, Texas who took the case against State Farm Lloyds Insurance and later filed for irreconcilable differences. This left me to represent my own case. I continue to search for another attorney until I found Mr. Rev. Nathaniel Brown.  Mr. Brown and I exchanged documents agreeing on March 15, 2013 where he states in a letter, I Nathaniel Brown will represent Joyce Collins vs State Farm Lloyds March 27, 2013. Claim Number: 43-F013-594 for retainer fee of $1,500.00. I will also investigate any and all documents pertaining to this case. Both parties agree to those conditions. I’m not entitled to any percentage of any claims that is due to represent, other than my normal fees.  (Acceptance of Proposal) The above price, specification and conditions are satisfactory and we hereby accepted. You are authorized to do the work as specified. Payment will be made as outlined above, dated 3/15/13 signature. On March 27, 2013 I was schedule in court for a status conference. The court held a hearing to determine the status of my case. The court room deputy asked me if I had found an attorney. I told him that I had.  Then deputy asked for the attorney’s contact number. The deputy   took a brief recess so that he could contact Mr. Brown. Following the recess, the courtroom deputy returned to the court room informing me that he had spoken to Mr. Nathaniel Brown. Mr. Brown confirmed that he would be representing the Plaintiffs. He also stated that Mr. Brown will file a Notice of Appearance as counsel for Plaintiffs by April 8, 2013. Then the court deputy stated that the Court will then set another scheduling conference sometime after. While waiting for Mr. Brown to file as Counsel, the case closed. Then, I contacted the National Action Network to talk to someone about Mr. Brown and discovered Mr. Brown was not an attorney.   I am just devastated about to hear this news.  Although Mr. Brown has agreed to return the funds by   Fed ex and not the way I wired it to him from my bank account. This will not resolve my case against State Farm Lloyds Insurance. Prior to this Mr. Brown has been negotiating with State Farm Lloyds attorneys and I have release document’s to Mr. Brown concerning my case.

If you have been a victim of this scam then please go to police and to your District Attorney office to make them aware of what happen to you.  At this time, the National Action Network has some explaining and correcting to do.

Breaking News! Merle Rutledge Jr, in regards to his latest
filing against the Town of Chatham, Va police department, for fraud of
Dmv Virginia highway safety grant funds. He has filed his case in
Pittsylvania County Circuit Court this pass Wednesday, as the Chatham,
VA chief of police and the local public officials of the Town of
Chatham, Va admits in the Chatham Tribune newspaper page 2A.  The Town
of Chatham, VA has admitted that no such mutual aid agreement existed
with the Pittsylvania County Sheriff Office to operate outside of
their jurisdiction with off duty police officers in the Chatham
Tribune newspaper for the pass four years and a Town of Chatham, Va
resolution was pass just this past Monday with the Pittsylvania County
Sheriff Office, as a indirect response to the Merle Rutledge Jr
Virginia Against Taxpayer Fraud suit. The Town of Chatham, VA and
Chief Marvin Wright are named defendants.  Its time to start locking
these felons up for obtaining money through false pretenses, says
Merle Rutledge Jr..  Similar charges have been cited for Virginia
Highway Safety Grant funds in Augusta Co, Virginia in this story
attached to this article.
Former Augusta County Deputy to Face Three Felony Indictments
Posted: Jul 24, 2012 5:57 PM EDT Updated: Aug 07, 2012 6:35 PM EDT

A former member of the Augusta County Sheriff’s Office is accused of
taking thousands of dollars in taxpayer funds. Grand jury indictments
claim the deputy falsified time sheets dating back to early 2009.

The former deputy, 41-year-old Brian David Rose, was expected to be
served sometime Tuesday with three indictments for obtaining money by
false pretenses.   The former deputy could face up to 15 years in
prison, if he’s convicted of what Augusta County Sheriff Randy Fisher
calls betrayal of public and personal trust.

A sergeant who oversees grant money from the Virginia Department of
Motor Vehicles (DMV) was first to raise the red flag in the spring of
2010.  Fisher ordered an internal audit, then called in a state police
investigator.

Fisher says all that confirmed one of his deputies falsified time
sheets and overtime requests adding up to nearly $4,000.

“That’s taxpayer money, provided by the Augusta County Board of
Supervisors for overtime work,” he said.  “And it was also DMV grant
money that we use for DUI enforcement, seat belt enforcement.”

Deputy Brian David Rose was with the sheriff’s office for four years,
until December 2010.

Indictments from the Augusta County grand jury indicate that Rose’s
offenses may have stretched over his last two years on the job.

“It’s something that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And I… It’s
just a betrayal of trust,” said Fisher.

He says this is the first case of alleged fraud that he can recall,
over his 40 years with the sheriff’s office.  A former sworn deputy as
a defendant means the case will have outside help.

Fisher said, “The commonwealth attorney appoints, asks for a special
prosecutor to oversee the investigation done by the state police. So
everything is totally unbiased.”

Waynesboro Commonwealth’s Attorney Charles Ajemian will prosecute the
case.   Brian David Rose is scheduled to make his first court
appearance on August 13.

I will try to write this letter as professional as possible, but its hard to understand the lack of knowledge within the Pittsylvania County Sheriff Office and with their own investigators.  I am sure you warn your investigator Scott CAmpbell to wait until everyone was there including your own lawyer/commonwealth attorney before interviewing me.  When has it ever been acceptable for personal mail or correspondence to be delivered without a valid court order while acting on duty as a detective and working outside the scope of his employment.  I would like a Virginia FOIA of any monies paid for the service of this correspondence on the taxpayers dime.  The correspondene was riddle with lies andd definitely painted me in a false light.  To further a criminal enterprise just like a illegal eviction being done with the help of law enforcement is a direct violation of my Fourth Amendment right.  To tamper with mail and to read my direct personal mail without a court order is obtaining evidence illegally and in violation of my Fourth and 2nd amendment right.  The fruit fromt he poisonous tree doctrine is than applied.  Your officers worked with a landowner without any evidence of a lease in a landlord tenant dispute covered up by trying to state you are investigation election fraud.  However, your investigator admits during the interrogation that they dont know anything about politics or election law.  What in the world was he doing the interview for in the first place.  This is what you call amateur night at the Pittsylvania County Sheriff Office and tampering with federal mail laws without a court order.  You are not suppose to be serving me letters at all.  This is another lawsuit waiting under Virginia Against Taxpayer Fraud act for using tax dollars to further a political and government agenda that has nothing to do with taxpayer police obligation.  I hope this letter greets you kindly and this is a clear failure to train, supervise, and discipline again through the Sheriff Department.  Mike Taylor is completely at fault and he is responsible for all deputies and any and all acts that these deputies make.  I am now suing for $50,000 alongside the follow up of harrassment.  Unless you have a court order than I do not wish to speak with any of your officers or agents of the Pittsylvanai County Sheriff Office or employees of the local government of Pittsylvania County.  I have also filed this claim with the Governor of Virginia office as a notice of intent.  I want the FOIA of any documents that can be produce of any monies paid for service by Mr. Gregory Dickerson and he can also get this letter as notice of my intent to sue him and paint me in a false light.  There is no written lease at all and he only has others that he needs to speak to in regards to that property.  However, he is part of the conspiracy to taint my reputation alongside Town of Chatham, Va and Pittsylvania County Sheriff Office and its local government.
