Saint Matthew's Church Prayer By Letters
Ripoff

I am yet another person who has fallen victom to this scam of all scams! I do believe there must be something we all can do together.

I have been getting these letters for a year or so now and have been faithfully writting and sending the stuff back to them. They make it seem so personal and promising. Jeeze was I wrong.

Just today I went on the web to check them out, just like everyone else, I havn't found a website for them, but a few storys giving there story and how much of a fraud this is.

I have found out that they dont have to file to the IRS since they are a non-profit organization, that is crap!
The man behind it is. Rev. James Eugene Ewing direct-mail empire from his mansion in Los Angeles that brings millions of dollars flowing into a Tulsa post office box.

What can we all do! I have lost over $500 because of the faith I had and now am forced to question everything.
The approach reaped Ewing and his organization a gross income of more than $100 million since 1993, including $26 million in 1999, the last year Saint Matthew's made its tax records public. And while much of the money is spent on postage and salaries, Ewing's company receives nonprofit status and pays no federal taxes.
Ewing and his organization use demographic data to target the poor.

He capitalizes on the isolation of the loneliest and poorest members of our society, promising them magical answers to their fears and needs if only they will demonstrate their faith by sending him money.
Ewing's computerized mailing operation, Saint Matthew's Churches, mails more than 1 million letters per month, many to poor, uneducated people, while Ewing lives in a mansion and drives luxury cars. Though Ewing claims it is a church, Saint Matthew's Churches, once called St. Matthew Publishing Inc., has no address other than a Tulsa post office box. It has two listed phone numbers in Tulsa and both are answered by a recorded religious message.

Ewing reports receiving $307,187 in salary and benefits which continues to grow each year!
This must stop!!!
