Rochester Woman Arrested in Alleged Charity Scam
David Boris
Staff writer(April 3, 2006) - Deaf woman is arrested for operating a charity scam and accused of ripping off thousands of people over the Internet.
Police say Judy Slomovic Gunter, the owner of www.deafbiz.com, gathered thousands of dollars in her donation scam. She allegedly convinced more than three hundred people to donate money. The victims apparently believed they were giving money to the Anti-Gun Foundation for a walk-a-thon that Gunter said she planned to enter. Rochester Police Lieutenant Dave Waller says Gunter collected about $70,200 in cash by convincing people on the Internet that she was collecting for the Anti-Gun Foundation.Waller says the 44-year-old Gunter really used the money for purchasing two vehicles. He says he found about $28,300 in cash and $2,500 in checks in her residence. Gunter had donors write out the checks to the Anti-Gun Foundation, which were easily the first three letters of her last name.
“Her last name was Gunter, so she would only have had to put in the last three letters to modify the name on the checks,” said Detective Bob Welch with the Rochester Police Department.
Gunter was charged this week with possession of felony theft and felony deception. Gunter is being held on a $150,000 bond.
