    Corporate Advocacy Program

We are group of concerned citizens.  We sent thousands of dollars to La Velle Goodwin, Glen Goodwin and Lea-Williams Doherty over the past two years.  We were informed by Goodwin that she was working closely with the Calgary news reporter Lea-Williams Doherty to expose some con artists in Alberta on her program.  We were also informed by Goodwin that she was doing this to help other Calgarians that had been scammed by con artists.  We have delivered thousands of dollars to these people and have now found out that they were using this money to run an extortion ring of a number of people.  Through information we read on a blog created by the past employees of one of the companies that they were victimized by La Velle Goodwin, Glen Goodwin and Lea-Williams Doherty, we realized that this was all a scam to extort money from companies and individuals.

In order to prove to myself and our group if this was true and our money had been used to target innocent people by these three individuals, we posed as one of their extortion targets and asked how much it would take for Goodwin and company to stop their harassing actions on the internet.  If the intentions of La Velle Goodwin, Glen Goodwin and Lea-Williams Doherty was pure and honest and just out to help and protect other citizens, then they would surely reply with a comment saying no money would be enough to quiet them.  After all, according to La Velle Goodwin they are doing this to inform people, not for the monetary gain.

We were indeed surprised by the response we received.  I have copied the email in its entirety below so that you may make your own judgment and we have attached a screen image of the hotmail account so that you can see that it is authentic and real.

The entire email string is here starting with the email we sent to contact@cheatauworld.ca , a site owned by La Velle Goodwin and Glen Goodwin:

Andre Muran and CHEATauWorld.ca

AUTHOR: La Velle Goodwin - Calgary (Canada)

What is described by the poster of this report is called "an offer to purchase and request for a price" and "a response to a request for a price quote on something I own"

Extortion requires that I threatened someone and demanded something from another person to prevent the threat from being carried out.

Clearly, no such thing ever took place.

This false claim against my husband and me is a desperate attempt to make me (and I am guessing my website - http://www.cheatauworld.ca ) go away.

I am a victim of Andre Muran and his travel club scams (just Google it)


I posted to the Rip-Off Report about him and his scam in 2004. (Royal Club International, Andre Muran)

I sued him and his companies and won. The Judge in the case called what had happened to me at Andre Muran's hand "FRAUD".

Andre Muran and his lawyer W. Murray Smith used slimy intimidation tactics as my case against them approached - including filing a 3.8 million dollar defamation suit against me for the report I placed on this website (of course, the night before trial- my suit against them- they offered to drop the defamation suit and agree to a withdrawal if I removed my post from the Rip-Off Report before trial the next morning)

I have since set up a website that exclusively exposes Andre Muran and the scams he operates (Royal Club International, Chateau World, Elevations Resort, Royal Club Resorts, Royal Crown Resorts)  in Alberta.

I set that site up as a public service. I do not charge anything to anyone.

I have never taken money from the poster of this report and demand proof that I ever have.

The individual who posted this report clearly does not know what the words "extortion" and “fraud” mean.

I did not threaten anyone.
I did not demand money from anyone.

I am perfectly happy not to sell my website to "AM" - that was "AM's" idea, not mine.

"AM" contacted me with an offer to buy... I did not contact anyone asking for anything.

I was contacted with an offer to purchase something I own and was asked what I consider to be a fair price. I responded with what I consider to be a fair price. That is neither fraud nor extortion.

For a clear understanding of the word “fraud” one need only visit my site to see what the business practices of Andre Muran and his companies are.

Finally, dragging Lea's name into this was a really interesting move. She is not only completely innocent of what is claimed in the false report, and has nothing to do with this except that she has done a couple of consumer reports that exposed Andre Muran's scams, she is a consumer reporter and a lawyer... Brilliant move on "AM's" part.

It is clear from the emails that the poster has already posted that the allegations made against me are not true. What is more, anyone can go to the website in question and see exactly why Andre Muran wants’ me to go away.

Ultimately, if what I had on my site were really false, Andre Muran and W. Murray Smith would follow through with their 3.8 million dollar defamation suit- but they don’t do that because I can prove every word is true and most of the proof is directly from the court record.

Andre Muran, Chateau World, Elevations Resort -

AUTHOR: La Velle Goodwin - Calgary (Canada)

Just thought I would offer the anonymous poster of this claim against me with some assistance because, as a victim of a serious crime, he seems confused about how to handle that:

If you or any members of a group really paid me, my husband or Lea Williams-Doherty any money over the last 2 years- moreover, if we in fact extorted money from you, go immediately to your local RCMP office with all of your evidence and file a criminal complaint against us! Do it! Do it today!

 Go into the RCMP office, walk up to the desk and say "I want to file a criminal complaint"

The officer on the other side of the desk will ask you to explain what happened. Just tell him everything: "I contacted a person who owns a website and told that person that I wanted to buy it. The website owner told me she thought a fair price was half a million dollars!" ... The officer will probably look at you for a few seconds... blink a few times and ask "and...?" At that point, I think you should tell the officer "This was an extortion attempt!"

Now, don't let the officer confuse you when he says "No, that is not extortion". You get right up in his grill and say "Yes! Yes it is! Because "AM" can't afford half a million dollars! his resorts are bankrupt! His house has been listed as a Judicial Sale!"

If the officer tries to explain the law to you, tell him to "shut up and listen!"
Explain that the person who set up the website was the victim of AM's scam, and she established in a court of law that she had been defrauded. THEN she had the gall to set up a website to warn others. The whole scam is being exposed and now, if AM wants to buy that website so that he is not exposed further, this woman wants more than poor AM can afford!"

A word of caution here- you might want to stop arguing with the officer if he pulls out his taser.

I will sit back in my home and await my arrest.

1.    La Velle Goodwin is extorting these people



 



La Velle Goodwin was contacted to provide a fair price for the website
and the blogs only.



 



La Velle Goodwin suggested that she
was willing to be silenced for a price.   
And that price is $500,000! 






I think when anybody asks someone else for half a million dollars for
their silence and some harassing websites, that is extortion. 



 



Anyway you look at it La Velle Goodwin got caught red handed and now she
is trying to get away.  You all got
exposed and you will never get any money from anyone else.



 



2.    You are not a RCMP police officer so you should not try and
tell people what a police officer would say






On
La Velle Goodwin’s rebuttal above she tries to tell the reader what an RCMP
police officer would say.  How arrogant
of her to think that she would know as she has no training as any type of
police officer.  Do not belittle our
police officers like that.  And with arrogance she adds a comment that implies that an RCMP
officer would actually reach for their taser in an unprovoked situation.  People get and have got hurt in taser incidents, and
an RCMP officer would NEVER
reach for their taser unprovoked.  Talk
about bad taste, just like her harassment in her websites and blogs.  La Velle Goodwin does not care about who she
hurts;  La Velle Goodwin just cares about
her revenge and money.

Proof of Goodwin Extortion

AUTHOR: ANONYMOUS - (Canada)

Lavelle Goodwin states that she has never asked for or received money, but on her own blog posted on Sept 5/09 she states:
“The bidder went as high as $3000… but I would not accept less than $5000 (Andre Muran can have it for $10,000!)”
She also states on another page of her blog, dated Sept 23/09:
“So I sold Cheatauworld.com to Andre Muran (for a much bigger sum than he originally offered me) and registered cheatauworld.ca
Is this not proof enough that she is scamming people, and extorting others?  Goodwin just got caught in her own lie.

Uh huh... I am still waiting for my arrest.

AUTHOR: La Velle Goodwin - Calgary (Canada)

I can't believe you have not reported this crime to the RCMP yet! If what you say is true, why are you not reporting it and laying charges? ... silly monkey...

Oh, if only the law were based on what you think it is... (although, it is great to know what you think extortion is- now your post makes way more sense.)

You are not only stupid, you are oblivious to how blatantly obvious it is that what you write is full of lies. Anyone reading it can see it is full of lies. Which does not make anyone you are lying about look bad- it is just making you look bad... and stupid.

What are you? 12?

What kind of moron posts lies about a consumer reporter and lawyer?

BEWARE THE "DEFENSE"!

AUTHOR: mary griges - mt prospect (United States of America)

     Something rather easy to spot is that when the "defense" is long-winded and confusing, the "defendee" does not have a leg to stand on. The product of a slimy, self-centered and physcotic scamster.
