This rings of a total scam. I have called and emailed Mr. Marc Okon and NEVER received a response. Warning signs: - Website goes unavailable (well okay not too bad but I get a lot of "bad address") - No FAQS - Not registered as a state non-profit - currently solicitating donations without a license - Does not have the mandatory EIN - No pending application found that has been filed with the IRS for 501(c)(3). He would have a letter of filing from the IRS for proof. - Asks for DSHS information but not affiliated with any government agency so he cannot confirm that information - No where is there a straight answer as to how the person receives such a stamp and where it can be redeemed Please do not donate to someone who will not provide this information up front. Verify where you donate and NEVER provide a government identity number to a non-governemnet organization. I pray those who have applied and donated do not have their identities stolen or their life savings. Thanks Kathy of Sammy's Clubhouse Spokane Ferret Rescue and Education [Posted in FML 7715]
