Charity schemes are all over the place. But we uncovered one that tops them all.
Two years ago, FOX6 uncovered a bogus health care scheme from a company called First Choice. They were running a phone room on Hancock Street and selling phony medical insurance to the elderly. The BBB had a lengthy file on the company and the state fined them $770,000.
We exposed them, hoping they would go away. They didn't. They moved a few blocks away and changed their name to Affinity Health Care. The state gave them a cease and desist notice.
They still didn’t go away. They have now reopened as an "Education Center," selling over-priced software. Now they call themselves Education Foundation. And while they try to sell themselves as a charitable organization, they are not a charity -- and the name is lifted from a foundation in New York.
One insider tells FOX6 it is the same group of people as from before.
