# 5 “Your Seed-Faith Offerings
are used to support The Wisdom Center, and all of its programs. The Wisdom Center reserves
the right to redirect funds as needed in order to carry out our charitable purpose. In the
event The Wisdom Center receives more funds for the project than needed, the excess will be
used for another worthy outreach. (Your transactions may be electronically deposited.)”

# 1 You are “recognized“
because you send money on a monthly basis! Oops! Apparently, this SCAM letter was supposed
to go to those already sending money. That’s why there a form asking you to send
even more money. Just like all SCAMs, once you pay, you are marked as a target for even
more letter.
(return to # 1 Red Flag above)
# 2 Just a few lines before these
“instructions” you are told that God is “providing Miracles around the
world...He is ready, willing and able to provide any Miracle you have need of.” Now,
you are told there are “5 Steps To Receiving Your Miracle”. I think
“Mike” is just appealing to your wants rather than to your
needs. He is simply using the well-worn SCAM tactic of promising to have your
desires supplied. Prayer is a very important way for you to discover what God
truly wants for you. That is much more important than what you want for
yourself. Be extremely cautious when “religious” people promise you
anything you want. That’s exactly what all SCAMs promise!
(return to # 2 Red Flag above)
# 3 What Mike seems to mean by
“Faith-Promise Update” is a Statement showing balance due of
$1,000.00. But he also includes another suggestion to make a NEW Faith-Promise,
on a monthly or annual schedule. After all, you can’t grow a large crop without lots
of “seeds”! (return to # 3 Red Flag above)
# 4 Did you know that
“prayers” have numbers? Do you suppose that a “prayer” just needs
to mention the number to avoid the trouble of putting it in words? Talk about efficiency! I
wonder how many “prayers” there are. Looks like at least 810,909. Thats
the number for “A Change In Career”. I’m impressed with the technical
work that Mike and his staff have developed! It appears they already have a
‘code’ for every need!
(return to # 4 Red Flag above)
# 5 Isn’t it nice to know what
might really be done with your “Seed-Faith offerings?” That is...just about
anything Mike may want! And, oh, by the way, while you are encouraged to trust Mike
with your money, he’s not so inclined to trust you with his
offerings...note the “NO C.O.D.’s”, please.
