Update on Phony Website titled ""Investigative News Channel"
Once again the fraudulent hoaxers are at it again. This time they are using my name as the author of a phony television news channel! Can you believe it!
This is what I found.
1) There is no such television news channel station anywhere in California by the name of Investigative News Channel. They are a phony, and so is the owner of the web site who uses the concocted name of "John Hancock" and a mail drop.
2) The "station" uses phony reporter names Jennifer Hersey (chosen after the Hersey Water Meters); and Bill Williams (evidently chosen after I exposed other sites for their fraudulent Idaho Attorney General's report).
3) The owner claims to have a TV Studio on the same level as CNN. Yet, no business phone, no business office, no BBB report, and claims that Hancock used to be a Fox TV producer (later amended to be under contract with Fox, and again with no verifiable references).
Here is their latest fraudulent scheme in an attempt to defame IPIU.
a) They still promote the phony Idaho Attorney Genera's Report. Yet a simple phone call to the AG still gets the same answer of "no such report, no such charges, no such complaints against IPIU". (So much for their "investigative" skills. They probably just copied everything from the other site where a PI school owner originated the false reports)
b) They still promote the absurd notion that someone named Lancaster is the owner of IPIU. Another visit to all state and local records shows no such name. Again, look at the official web page for IPIU officers.
c) They still allege that IPIU runs warrant checks through the FBI. See my earlier expose' on that pretentious claim from a pretentious "news channel".
d) Now they add that IPIU badges are illegal "in almost states", a complete intention to deceive how the real badge laws permit the authorized IPIU custom badges. (Again, as a former federal agent I know first hand what the badge laws are, and have read the federal and state statutes. IPIU has them listed here in the Badge Laws forum)
I continued to investigate Hancock's phony website for a motive. The only motive I came up with is this is a personal site the owner uses for vendetta's against anyone he runs afoul with. If the owner experiences bad customer service at a retail establishment, he makes up a news story as if he is CNN. If he has a bad stay at a hotel, he demands a refund under his real name and uses his phony news channel to beat the hotel chain into submission. And the list goes on and on by reading and watching all of his previous sick videos.
He will get caught someday when someone makes it their personal mission to expose his phony news channel for what it is. In the meantime, we have heard all this trash talk about phony AG reports before. If IPIU was really that bad, they would have been shut down twenty years ago. Instead they have an A-rating with the Better Business Bureau, while "Investigative News Channel" has no BBB rating, no D&B report, no legitimate business references, no business license, nothing.
Again, judge for yourself from the facts, not a perceived copycat vendetta.
