Re: Joe Maloof or Ron Hansen may face tour fraud charges
Posted by Robert H. Cochran on 2/05/06

    Travel Agencies face charges of grand theft and embezzlement

    Are you aware of a recent broadcast by KGO-Channel 7 News site story and video?
    It was on the Teacher's Net field trip board at

    http://teachers.net/projects/fieldtrips

    Further....

    Congratulations on your persistence and tireless efforts to expose this travesty.
    I would appreciate it if you would keep me posted on all developments. I was a bit
    alarmed when contacted by the investigative reporter since I had violated
    copyright by posting the 1988 Mercury News story of Joe Maloof's previous grand
    theft charges (and subsequent incarceration, or so I've been told) on the
    Teacher's board. I simply could not let people like Debbie Bell and George Roeser
    go on singing the praises of the Maloofs when I knew the truth about their past
    illicit dealings. Why was this not mentioned in the Channel 7 story? The articles
    are readily available to anyone willing to pay $2.95 for each one in the Mercury
    News archives. Their company at the time was named Travel International.

    Another question--The news report states:
    Public records show the DA is also looking at another company which may be related
    to JM Travel Selections.

    How far do they have to look????You and I both know that Joe Maloof owned ITS
    International Tours at the time you lost your money. From the California Attorney
    General's site:

    pagesITS International Tours, LLC is wholly owned by JM Travel Selections, Inc., a
    California company that specializes in arranging student and religious group
    travel. When you travel with ITS, you are traveling with 40 years experience
    behind you. Over the years we have learned what is truly important to you, and we
    have taken great care over every detail of you pilgrimage>>

    Either Joe Maloof or Ron Hansen is lying about the 2004 ownership of ITS and its
    subsequent liability to defrauded clients like yourself; my money's on Maloof
    based on all I've learned about him.

    If you choose to use this information please remove my e-mail address from all
    forwarding. I wish you all good fortune and hope that this is just the start of a
    providential outcome for all.
