Jersey Shore frauds

Earl sends us a link to the Ashbury Park Press which reports about some fraudsters who pretended to sell 9/11 memorabilia for charity, but apparently, the only charities they helped were in their own pockets;

Mark Niemczyk, 66, of Tinton Falls and Thomas Scalgione, 41, of Stafford sold T-shirts and collected donations at 9/11 events, but never gave any of the more than $50,000 in proceeds to the victims’ families or to 9/11 charities as promised, according to a statement from the state Office of the Attorney General.

The pair was indicted Friday on third-degree charges of conspiracy and theft by deception. Niemczyk is additionally charged with third-degree failure to file a personal state income tax return in 2011. While Niemczyk receives Social Security benefits that are tax exempt, he collected thousands of dollars in proceeds at 9/11 events in 2011 and won $55,000 at the Borgata casino in Atlantic City on Sept. 6, 2011, which he was required to report, according to the statement.

According to Earl, these two hail from the same town where phony SEAL John Spodafora is mayor.
