I posted this complaint to another forum and have been informed that La Velle and Glenn Goodwin & Lea Williams-Doherty also use this complaints board. Watch out for these people, they have stolen our money and are using it to extort more money from others. Read my post below.


We are group of concerned citizens. We sent thousands of dollars to La Velle Goodwin, Glen Goodwin and Lea-Williams Doherty over the past two years. We were informed by Goodwin that she was working closely with the Calgary news reporter Lea-Williams Doherty to expose some con artists in Alberta on her program. We were also informed by Goodwin that she was doing this to help other Calgarians that had been scammed by con artists. We have delivered thousands of dollars to these people and have now found out that they were using this money to run an extortion ring of a number of people. Through information we read on a blog created by the past employees of one of the companies that they were victimized by La Velle Goodwin, Glen Goodwin and Lea-Williams Doherty, we realized that this was all a scam to extort money from companies and individuals.

In order to prove to myself and our group if this was true and our money had been used to target innocent people by these three individuals, we posed as one of their extortion targets and asked how much it would take for Goodwin and company to stop their harassing actions on the internet. If the intentions of La Velle Goodwin, Glen Goodwin and Lea-Williams Doherty was pure and honest and just out to help and protect other citizens, then they would surely reply with a comment saying no money would be enough to quiet them. After all, according to La Velle Goodwin they are doing this to inform people, not for the monetary gain.

We were indeed surprised by the response we received. I have copied the email in its entirety below so that you may make your own judgment and we have attached a screen image of the hotmail account so that you can see that it is authentic and real.

The entire email string is here starting with the email we sent to [email protected], a site owned by La Velle Goodwin and Glen Goodwin:

I am interested in purchasing the Cheatauworld website and the opera blog. How much would you consider to be a fair offer?

Hi,

Thanks for your email.

Let me make sure that I clearly understand what you are seeking to purchase. You want the website- meaning it's design and content and also the content of my blog. As opposed to purchasing just the domain name "cheatauworld.ca" - yes?

Did you also want to include a guarantee that I will not post another similar/competing website so that you have exclusivity?

When I know specifically what you hope to buy, I will get back to you with what I think a fair price would be.

Thanks for your interest,

La Velle Goodwin

Yes, that's a good idea. Why don't you give me the pricing for the following three:
1. Just the cheatauworld domain names (all of them)
2. The domain names plus the websites and any blogs
3. The domain names, plus the websites and any blogs... and with a guarantee

1) Domains- $10, 000. each (there are 5 of them)
2) domain names + website and blogs $300, 000.
3) domain names + website, blogs and a guarantee that I will cease all "AM" related web activity and never again post another word about the matter - $500, 000.

end of emails.


This is the email correspondence. It clearly shows that La Velle Goodwin (she signed her name in one of the emails) is looking for $50, 000 to $500, 000 from this vicitm. We are dismayed by this turn of events as now we have undeniable proof that this group has stolen our thousands of dollars and is using it to gain even more money by extorting other vicitms. This is immoral and goes against all our values, we have been lied to and misled by these three people..

La Velle Goodwin, Glen Goodwin and Lea-Williams Doherty should be arrested for this con they are running. How many other people have sent money to these people. How many lives have they ruined by reporting and posting false information about people on the internet. If you are one of these people please take the time to write your own report and inform others before they steal any more money from innocent people.

But most of all do not send any money to La Velle Goodwin, Glen Goodwin and Lea-Williams Doherty. We have lost thousands to this bunch of crooks and we hope that this will help to stop them.
