.. is your neighbor having one that hangs over the fence!
I had planned to say something about 'abundance' to go along with this image. Seems like a really great example of the abundance of nature and life in general, doesn't it?
Maybe I was looking in the wrong places for a good quote, but they all sounded like they were out of one of those seminars where people pay thousands of dollars for someone to tell them how amazing they are, and that they 'deserve' prosperity and abundance..
Personally, I have no problem 'accepting abundance' - but that may be because I'm not wallowing in it. Don't get me wrong - I feel blessed to have been rewarded for the hard work I've put in over the years. But I do feel that I have earned everything I have, and I am pretty particular about the charity I choose.
Which is why nothing disgusts me more than the waste and fraud that our 'entitlement' programs are drowning in. It takes food and shelter out of the mouths of those who truly deserve and need it.
Like the guy standing with the cardboard sign at the traffic light that says "Hungry - will work for food - God bless". Except that they aren't (hungry) , they won't (work), and I hate seeing a fraud tugging on the heartstrings of honest, but naive drivers.
These frauds eventually harden the hearts of those naive, loving people, when they watch them carefully fold up their intentionally mis-spelled cardboard signs and put them in the trunk along with the worn clothes that hint at being a down on his luck vet.
If Karma really is a bitch, they are in for a really bad day someday.

Vintage postcard, no. PC 618. Pamela Anderson as C.J. Parker in the TV series Baywatch (1992-1997).
Sexy Canadian-American actress and model Pamela Anderson (1967) is best known for the TV series Home Improvement, Baywatch and V.I.P., but the platinum blonde but naturally born brunette also appeared in a dozen of feature films and on a record 14 Playboy covers. Furthermore she is an international celebrity thanks to her rocky marriages, her animal rights activism and her changing bust sizes.
Pamela Denise Anderson was born in Ladysmith, (Vancouver Island), BC, Canada, the daughter of Barry Anderson, a furnace repairman, and Carol (née Grosco) Anderson, a waitress. She was the first Canadian baby born in Ladysmith Canada's Centennial Day in 1967, A Centennial Baby. As a child, Anderson suffered frequent sexual abuse, a fact she revealed publicly in 2014: she was molested by a female babysitter from ages 6 to 10, raped by a 25-year-old man when she was 12, and gang-raped by her boyfriend and six of his friends when she was 14. She also revealed that her father, though "loving", had been an alcoholic. Anderson attended Highland Secondary School in Comox, British Columbia. During high school, she played on the volleyball team. She graduated in 1985. In 1988, the 19-years-old Anderson moved to Vancouver and worked as a fitness instructor. In 1989, Anderson attended a BC Lions Canadian Football League game at the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, where the stadium camera featured her on the electronic scoreboard while wearing a Labatt's Beer T-shirt. The fans cheered her and she was brought down to the football field. Because of her fame in Vancouver, she signed a commercial contract with The brewing company to be the Blue Zone girl. More advertising assignments followed. Anderson appeared as the cover girl on Playboy magazine's October 1989 issue. She moved to Los Angeles to further pursue a modelling career. Playboy subsequently chose her as Playmate of the Month in their February 1990 issue, in which she appeared in the centrefold photo. Anderson then elected to have breast implant surgery, increasing her bust size to 34D. She famously increased her bust size again, to 34DD, several years later. Anderson has since appeared in Playboy several times in the 1990s and the 2000s. Anderson's Playboy career spans 22 years, and she has appeared on 14 Playboy covers, more than any other model. Anderson was the last to pose nude in Playboy, on the magazine's January/February 2016 cover. She also became known as a lifelong animal rights and human advocate and is also an activist for environmental issues. In 2006, she posed naked in the window of Stella McCartney's store in London to protest against the use of fur for making clothes.
After Pamela Anderson moved to Los Angeles, she won a minor role as Lisa, the original ‘Tool Time girl’, on the television sitcom, Home Improvement (1991-1993), starring Tim Allen. She left the show after two seasons and won the role of lifeguard C. J. Parker on Baywatch (1992-1997), the action drama series about the Los Angeles County Lifeguards who patrol the beaches of Los Angeles County, California, starring David Hasselhoff. She played C.J. for five seasons making her one of the longest serving and most popular cast members. This has been her best known role to date and she later reprised her role to return in a reunion movie, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding (Douglas Schwartz, 2003). In 1994, she was cast in her first starring film role, in the action thriller Raw Justice (David A. Prior, 1994), co-starring with Stacy Keach. She also appeared in Naked Souls (Lyndon Chubbuck, 1996), starring Brian Krause. Next she starred in the action-Science Fiction film Barb Wire (David Hogan, 1996), based on the Dark Horse comic book series of the same name. The thinly veiled futuristic remake of Casablanca was poorly received by critics, bombed at the box office and resulted for Anderson in a Golden Raspberry Award for her interpretation. In 1998, she came back as Vallery Irons in the TV series V.I.P. (1998-2002) about a bodyguard agency (V.I.P. aka Vallery Irons Protection). Blending action and humour in a fast-paced adventure series, with Anderson often poking fun at her tabloid image, the show explored the exciting and sometimes treacherous lives of the rich and famous. The series lasted through a successful four-year run. In 1999, Anderson had her breast implants surgically removed. The breaking news seemed like the end of an era.
Pamela Anderson married Tommy Lee, drummer of Mötley Crüe in 1995, after knowing him for about 4 days. They wed on a beach, with Anderson in a bikini. Anderson's mother did not know, and learned of the marriage from People magazine. A sex tape of Anderson and Tommy Lee on their honeymoon was stolen from their home in 1995 and made a huge stir on the Internet. Anderson sued the video distribution company, Internet Entertainment Group. Ultimately, the Lees entered into a confidential settlement agreement with IEG. During this time, she was known professionally as Pamela Anderson Lee. Together they have two sons, Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee. The couple divorced in 1998. In 2000, Anderson became engaged to Swedish model Marcus Schenkenberg, but they broke up in 2001. In 2004, Anderson became a naturalized citizen of the United States, while retaining her Canadian citizenship. She became engaged to the singer Kid Rock (Robert J. Ritchie); and they married in 2006. Later that year Anderson miscarried while shooting a new film, Blonde and Blonder (Dean Hamilton, 2006) with Denise Richards. Seventeen days later, Anderson filed for divorce. In 2007, Anderson married Rick Salomon in a small wedding ceremony at The Mirage, between her two nightly appearances at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Hans Klok's magic show. The couple separated later that year and Anderson requested through the courts that the marriage be annulled, citing fraud. In 2014 they remarried and also divorced again in 2015. Her film work in the new millennium consisted mainly of cameos in such comedies as Scooby-Doo (Raja Gosnell, 2002) with Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Scary Movie 3 (David Zucker, 2003), part of the franchise that parodied the horror, sci-fi, and mystery genres. In 2004, she released the book Star, co-written by Eric Shaw Quinn, about a teenager trying to become famous. Her second book, the sequel Star Struck (2005), is a thinly veiled look at her life with Tommy Lee and the trials of celebrity life. Anderson appeared in the mockumentary, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (Larry Charles, 2006), as the title character (Sacha Baron Cohen) becomes obsessed with her, and plans to abduct and marry her. She appears as herself at a book signing at the end of the film, confronted by Borat in a staged botched abduction. The film opened at No. 1 in the US box office, maintaining first place for two weeks straight. More recently she co-starred in the independent film The People Garden (Nadia Litz, 2016), a Canadian-Japanese drama starring Dree Hemingway, and for this year she’s scheduled to return in a cameo as the older C.J. in a new film version of Baywatch (Seth Gordon, 2017). The new film version stars Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Priyanka Chopra and Zac Efron and the tagline is promising: Don't worry, summer is coming. Recently, Pamela Anderson, now 49, appeared in the erotic magazine The Amorist in new pictures by photographer Rankin for a new ad campaign for an erotic lingerie brand. The Daily Mail Online commented: “Time may well be a cruel mistress, but Pamela Anderson goes some way towards proving the years have been kind in a stunning new photoshoot.”

MIXED-MEDIA OILGRAPH // TRADITIONAL PHOTO, ACRYLIC, OIL PAINT AND BLOOD ON WOODEN PANEL // 24x32
Base image photographed with a Mamiya 645 on Ilford 400 and developed in Agfa Rodinal
-No digital work-
5/9 of the series
Created for the movie Magnum Opus which is the story of an ex-marine turned artist and cryptographer. I was tasked with making his series.
The character is named Sean Dabashi and played by the amazing actor Pej Vahdat who is probably most well known for his role Arastoo Vaziri in the TV show Bones.
We broke SAG rules by shooting this before principle photography began, but we didn't have a choice because of the schedule.
In the movie, he is a double faced betrayer of the main character...hence the image which was shot unceremoniously in my bathroom mirror.
BACKGROUND
___________
Six years ago I was asked to create a nine piece series for the film Magnum Opus.
The concept of the film sounded intriguing - An ex-marine and war photographer saw some terrible things go down in Afghanistan, retired to become an artist (and cryptologist) and paint a series of works where he would secretly encode the narrative into the paintings themselves. Kind of like pulling an Edward Snowden.
And I thought this was awesome.
In reading the script I was confused as to how the main character's art technique was exactly like mine and the director's response (who was a friend and collector of mine) said, "Well, we based the main character on you."
Don't think Indy is posing.
He is looking for a way out, because he hates it when I take pictures :-))
Happy furry friday!
Meninas... achei que estas estórias dos correios naum podiam ficar pior, mas ficaram.
Antes da páscoa enviei um caixinha para Niterói com 4 esmaltes... mas naum entregaram alegando que o numero da casa estava errado.
Quando recebi a caixinha de volta tive a inesperada surpresa... ABRIRAM MINHA CAIXINHA E FURTARAM UM ESMALTE CHINA GLAZE CRACKLE.
nessa primeira foto, dá p perceber que a fita foi cortada e passaram uma outra fita adesiva por cima da original... o grande detalhe é que o carimbo com a data da postagem está na fita de baixo (original) e naum está na fita de cima.... o que demonstra que a caixa foi aberta e depois alguém dos correios colou uma nova fita de sedex por cima da original. (que sujos!!!)

*SPOILER ALERT FOR UNCHARTED 4*
So... I was all worried that something untoward would happen to one of the characters in Uncharted 4... completely unnecessarily! Everyone came out unscathed, and the ending was so lovely.
As for my figures? I actually prefer them having played the game; maybe I've got used to them, but I'm happier with the likenesses now. Certainly Drake poses much more naturally in his current incarnation than he did in his last one, and looks a leetle bit younger, I think.
It was, and has been since the introduction of the hauled working, 1K96, 1934 Llandudno-Crewe.
From today, it's 1K68.
Work that one out...

I first reported this fake Instagram account using my photos on December 19, 2022. It is STILL up, and STILL using my photos. I am at a loss what to do.
(Project 365 Day 314)
Today I fell for a phishing scam. :( A friend of mine sends me a link via Yahoo IM asking me to check out some geocities link. I click on it, and I get a Yahoo 360 sign-in page. "Strange that you'd need to sign in to see a geocities page, but Yahoo does own geocities, and I haven't been there in a while," I think.
So I put in my username/password and just get a Yahoo 360 homepage. Weird. I IM my friend to ask what the deal is, but he doesn't reply. I'm in the middle of working, so I quickly get distracted by other duties and don't think about it much.
A while later, I get a reply from my friend, along the lines of, "Huh?" Turns out he never sent me the link! "Crap!" I think. "I'm a doofus! I just fell for a phishing scam!" My friend had gotten the same link from one of HIS friends, and so I bet the bad guys have a program that recorded his password when he typed it into that bogus page, then logged in to his Yahoo IM account and spammed it to everyone on his buddy list.
It's quite insidious, because you're tempted to trust links your friends send you, and because this doesn't require any spyware on your computer; it's all done over the web.
So again, people, don't be an idiot like me. Think twice before putting your password in a page that asks for it!
Oh, and needless to say, I immediately reported the page to Yahoo (and it's been taken down now), changed my Yahoo password, and then changed the password in the various other places I use that same password, just in case. I also emailed everyone in my Yahoo IM buddy list to warn them, just in case my account sent them the bogus URL, too. Pain in the ass.
Look! That's not Steve Austin! It's Maskatron!
In 1976 Kenner released this robotic master-of-disguise action figure as a foil for the Six Million Dollar Man. It came with three masks, including one that looked like the actor Lee Majors who played Steve Austin on the TV series.

Henry Payne - Saturday, January 6, 2018
De acuerdo con la aplicación “Incidencia delictiva en tu colonia”, publicada en la página web de la Fiscalía General del Estado de Querétaro, la zona de la ciudad con mayor incidencia delictiva es el Centro Histórico.
La aplicación recopila información de 13 delitos: daños culposos, daños dolosos, delitos contra la seguridad del tránsito de vehículos, fraude genérico, homicidio doloso, incumplimiento de las obligaciones de asistencia familiar, lesiones culposas, lesiones dolosas, robo a casa habitación, robo a comercio o industria, robo a vehículo, robo de vehículo y robo simple.
En 11 de los 13 delitos reportados, la zona de mayor incidencia, de acuerdo con la información publicada por la Fiscalía, es el Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de Querétaro.
Los únicos casos donde otras colonias aparecen como las más delictivas es homicidio doloso, liderado por la colonia Virreyes; para el delito de incumplimiento de las obligaciones de asistencia familiar la mayor incidencia se reporta en la zona de Lomas de Casa Blanca.
La consulta realizada por Inqro se realizó este lunes 5 de septiembre, a las 12:00 horas, para los meses de enero a agosto de 2016.
La información publicada en www.pgjqro.gob.mx:8081/atlas/ se muestra por rangos.
Para el delito de daños culposos, el Centro Histórico se reporta con una incidencia entre 36 a 109; seguido por la Zona Industrial Benito Juárez y la Zona Industrial La Montaña, con un rango de 28 a 35.
En el caso de daños dolosos, aparece el Centro Histórico con un rango de 12 a 16, seguido de Lomas de Casa Blanca con un rango de 5 a 11.
Respecto a los delitos contra la seguridad del tránsito vehicular, lidera el Centro Histórico en el rango de los 11a 15 delitos, seguido por la Zona Industrial Benito Juárez, Centro Sur y la colonia Las Américas en el rango de los 4 a 10 delitos.
En fraude genérico, se registró un rango de 12 a 53 delitos en el Centro Histórico, y amplias zonas de la ciudad aparecieron en el rango de 2 a 11.
Para los homicidios dolosos las cifras fueron de de 3 a 7 en la colonia Virreyes; y de 1 a 2 diversas colonias como Centro Histórico, Lomas de Casa Blanca, San Pedrito Peñuelas, Quintas del Marqués, El Vergel, Menchaca, Lomas de San Pablo, centro de Santa Rosa Jáuregui y Cerrito Colorado Comevi.
En el delito de incumplimiento de las obligaciones de asistencia familiar, la zona en el rango máximo de 4 a 5 hechos ocurridos fue Lomas de Casa Blanca. Otras como el Centro Histórico, El Marqués, Villas de Santiago y San Pedrito Peñuelas estuvieron en el rango de 2 a 3 casos.
En lo concerniente a las lesiones culposas, la zona con la máxima incidencia, en el rango de 9 a 22, fue el Centro Histórico; la segunda región con más reportes fue la Zona Industrial Benito Juárez con 6 a 8 casos.
La zona con mayor incidencia de lesiones dolosas fue el Centro Histórico, en el rango de 17 a 52 incidentes; seguido por el Centro de Santa Rosa Jáuregui en el rango de 16 denuncias.
El delito de robo a casa habitación mostró al Centro Histórico como “punto rojo” con un registro de 17 a 24 denuncias; colonias como Lomas de Casa Blanca, Jurica, Centro de Santa Rosa Jáuregui, Villas de Santiago, Galindas y Ferrocarrileros se ubicaron en el rango anaranjado con incidencia de 8 a 16 denuncias en lo que va del año.
Respecto al robo a comercio o industrial, lo lidera en solitario el Centro Histórico en el rango de 14 a 61 denuncias; sin embargo, amplias zonas de la ciudad se encuentran en “amarillo” al registrar entre 3 y 13 denuncias.
Dejar tu teléfono o tableta al interior de tu coche es mala idea, pues es una invitación al famoso “cristalazo”, en particular en el Centro Histórico donde se reportaron entre 15 y 65 casos entre enero y agosto de 2016.
Si estacionas tu vehículo en la vía pública tienes menos probabilidades de encontrarlo al regresar por él si lo dejas en el Centro Histórico con 43 a 81 denuncias. Lomas de Casa Blanca, Desarrollo San Pablo, Carrillo y Loma Bonita ocupan el poco honroso segundo lugar en el rango de 19 a 42 denuncias.
Finalmente, para el delito de robo simple, la zona del Centro Histórico es nuevamente la de mayor incidencia, al ubicarse en el rango de 15 a 55 denuncias este año en la Fiscalía General. Sin embargo, el resto de la ciudad parece una amplia mancha amarilla en el rango de 2 a 14 denuncias.
Beauty isn't a performance, we don’t twerk for a cause.
We rise in solidarity. United strength changes laws.
Power is in the spirit, in the mind, in the soul.
Power is not in how many body parts one can grab,
and hold.
If you want to be respected, know that your body is
not a commodity. And yes, you should be proud of
your beauty. But don’t let it go to your head. We don’t
forge a path forward, by offering ourselves in bed.
And i bet she got them flavors. I bet her twerk is mean.
But them things ain’t for everybody spending money
on the scene. And sure you ain’t trying to lay up, and
stay up with a broke lover. But you don’t truly love
yourself if for money you under covers. You up under
them sheets, thinking like street walkers in the streets.
And you thinking that you hot. You like men that
carry heat? And what you going to say when you
find that you lost your way? When you finally meet
God because you got shot in the face? You got that
lingerie? It look hot on you today! But are you really
safe, running around with your lace. Sure he down to
ride, until he start to catch a case. You certain that he
love you? Or that he might lay your body to waste?
Don’t waste… time. Elevate your mind. You can be
intelligent, pursue your own wealth, and stay fly.
Yeah, you look fine. But don’t let your looks mess
with your mind. Sure; you can be captivating.
Hear what i’m saying. It’s your ass at the party! It’s
your ass he displaying. But you still having fun.
Everything seems right. You got your man, got your
money, got your car, got your hype! But you influencing
others to follow in your path. The dark night of the soul…
will be the aftermath. You see, there is always, the one.
The one that is on the prowl, the one that wants to see
you lead astray. Away from God’s love as soon as… now!
Away from God’s gifts. And you don’t believe it, because
you can’t see it? But, what you can see… is the comedy and
the tragedy! The industry, the entertainment, and the system…
that ultimately causes many to fall. Open your eyes to the
scheme of it all. See where humanity is meant to fail.
See that the more you lose your way, the more that others
rise. It is a power dynamic playing out right before your
eyes. Men are dying, women are dying, because of the
images we choose to lift up and project. Are these images
showing the strength of our ancestors, our people, or
neglect? What is true wealth and where does it come from?
First off, true wealth is knowing that love isn’t for sell.
True wealth is individual growth, mental growth, spiritual
growth, physical growth, family growth. And… financial
growth, yes, but not growing financially while selling your soul.
You see, the goal is for you to lose your way, and forget.
This truth is hidden deep within the recesses of the spirit
and mind. And it takes true discernment, and pure intentions
to find. And when you seek out money in a way that elevates
it, as more important than considering God. You fall into the lie.
And the truth seems a facade. And so you have a decision to
make in this life. And i suggest you dig deep. Because
discovering the truth when it’s to late… the price to pay is
to steep. And i’m not talking about Hell. I’m talking about
missing a true Heaven. You can get lost from it in your pursuits
of a material life. There are gifts that God is waiting to give
you when you are ready! And the longer you take to get ready,
possibly lifetimes… and the more lost you become and the
more astray you go, the more the gift is lost and the connection
is broken. Seek the power of the truth that is always spoken!
Your breasts, like pearls. Your body brings ecstasy. This gift
is meant to parallel the feeling of Heaven and it is a gift from
God: not meant to be exploited by anybody! Only lost ones,
and dark hearts seek the exploitation of the gifts of the light.
Sex is a gift and God provided it, because God is Love. God
gave the gift of Life. Therefore, God stands Above! Consider
God in all matters. Consider God with Love. You do this, and
you will perceive beings that are of Heaven. This i know to be
True. Then all successes will be in reach, not only financially,
but spiritually. If this is something you don’t care about, than
continue to do you. Just keep in mind that our children's
children will be screwed! Our descendants, always failing!
Why, because if we don’t lead Our people in the “right”
direction, who will? We can lead simply by living decent lives,
and being a positive influence, but instead, we put our bodies
up for give and take. And there’s always people waiting in the
shadows, waiting to point out our flaws, and our mistakes!
We call ourselves goddesses, queens, princesses and more.
So why influence women, and young girls to act like whores?!
This is what some women do! And just because they may be
educated doesn’t make it right. Manipulated, manipulative
fools… Following these self proclaimed so called “Kings” that
exploit you! Notice the relationship drama on television or at
home? Notice the declining importance of life and love, and the
rising importance of primitiveness in relations to sex? Notice
the pain, and needless killings inflicted from one person to
the next. Is your worth really Valued in the world? Products…
of a clever ruse, meant to Stop your peoples Evolution and
cause Your People to Disappear off the face of the Planet,
One by One, and to never discover your gifts from God. This
is the resulting future… of female empowerment fraud.

Note the "RDPIII" mark in the upper left corner. That is the mark for Fujichrome Provia 100f Professional film. Rather skillfully done, but the ebay scammer made the mistake of stealing one of my photos-he didn't know I'm searching ebay for interesting HK slides on a weekly basis. My advice to other slide collectors is to do a Google image search before you bid-it might save you from being scammed.
On Friday 24 March, hundreds gathered in central London to protest the rolling out of a red carpet at Number 10 Downing Street for Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
يوم الجمعة 24 مارس 2023 ، تجمع المئات في وسط لندن للاحتجاج على طرح السجادة الحمراء في رقم 10 داونينج ستريت لرئيس الوزراء الإسرائيلي بنيامين نتنياهو
ביום שישי ה-24 במרץ 2023, מאות התאספו במרכז לונדון במחאה על פריצת השטיח האדום ברחוב דאונינג מספר 10 עבור ראש ממשלת ישראל, בנימין נתניהו
Israeli liberals, angry at Netanyahu's attempt to crush the independence of the judiciary and protect himself from a corruption indictment, joined Palestinian and other activists infuriated by 56 years of Apartheid, since Israel's occupation of the West Bank in 1967.
Netanyahu is still on trial for corruption in three separate cases. In 2019 he had already been officially indicted for breach of trust, accepting bribes and fraud, and, as a consequence, he lost the support of his coalition partners in parliament. However, last November, he returned to power in coalition with the ultra-orthodox and ultra nationalist factions, forming what almost commentators agree is the most right wing government Israel has witnessed since its independence in 1948.
Israel has been rocked by massive protests and strikes ever since Netanyahu's justice minister, Yariv Levin, revealed the government's plan to overhaul the country's justice system in January. Activists pointed out that its intent was clear. To weaken judicial independence and to shield Netanyahu from corruption charges.
Resistance to the government's proposals escalated even further two days after this photograph was taken when Netanyahu returned to Israel and fired his defence minister, Yoav Gallant. Within an hour tens of thousands had taken to the streets in central Jerusalem and also surrounded Netanyahu's home.
Returning to Friday morning in London when this photo was taken, protesters waiting peacefully on the pavement opposite 10 Downing Street were doubtless surprised at the huge number of police, including dogs, deployed on Whitehall. Later, and despite heavy rain, around a hundred protesters made their way to the Savoy Hotel where Netanyahu was rumoured to be staying, where the police presence was far more low key.
Many activists carried placards such as "democracy and occupation cannot coexist" and "Free Palestine = Free Israel." They pointed out that Palestinians live in what both Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have concluded is an Apartheid state, many without any access to clean water or electricity, many fearing the demolition of their homes and others the detention for lengthy periods of their relatives and children for protesting the continuing occupation. Meanwhile, Britain's ongoing military and diplomatic support for Israel make us complicit in the continued oppression of the Palestinian people.
Whistleblower, Qui Tam Lawsuit: Healthcare, Pharma, Financial – How to Report Fraud
topclassactions.com/lawsuit-settlements/lawsuit-news/1497...
Who’s Affected?
Have you witnessed your employer committing fraud in government programs like Medicare, military contracts, or others? If so, whistleblowers can earn large cash rewards if they are the first to report the fraud in a False Claims Act lawsuit, also known as a “qui tam” lawsuit or whistleblower lawsuit.
Pharmacists, billing pros, healthcare employees, financial consultants and other insiders have earned more than $1 billion in whistleblower awards.
With help from employees reporting fraud in whistleblower lawsuits, taxpayers have recovered billions of dollars from companies involved in Medicare Fraud, Financial Fraud, Flawed Pharmaceutical Products, Tax Fraud, Government Contracts, Physician/Hospital Kickbacks and other misconduct.
Whistle blower reports are a powerful tool to help stop fraud and help the government recover some of its losses.
In exchange, whistleblowers will typically be rewarded with 15 to 30 percent of what the whistleblower lawsuit recovers.
Whistleblower lawyers are actively seeking people who may have witnessed fraud committed against the government. Find out if you have a case by filling out the confidential form on this page now.
Overview: What Types of Fraud Are Committed Against the Government?
Medicare or Medicaid Health Care Billing Fraud
Healthcare billing fraud, through Medicare, Medicaid or other government program, occurs when a healthcare provider bills for unnecessary services or services never received by a Medicare patient.
Medicare or Medicaid fraud is usually committed by hospitals, physicians, pharmacies, medical product or medical device providers, labs, ambulance transport companies, home healthcare agencies or other medical provider that bills a government program for medical products or services.
Examples of healthcare fraud may include:
Fraudulent upcoding in medical billing.
An ambulance company claiming emergency services for a simple transport or entering into a kickback arrangement with hospitals.
Overcharging for medical goods or healthcare services.
Kickback or illegal referral arrangements between providers.
Providing services that are not medically necessary.
Claiming and billing for services provided by a physician when the care was provided by a less qualified employee.
If you believe you have witnessed Medicare fraud or health insurance fraud, you may qualify to file a whistle blower lawsuit against your employer on behalf of the government. Fill out the form on this page now for a FREE case evaluation.
Government Procurement and Military Contract Fraud
Government contractor fraud occurs when companies contracting with a government agency or the military do any of the following:
Overcharge for goods or services.
Perform sub-standard work or substituting lower quality materials than promised.

Other Fraud Types: SEC Corporate Fraud, IRS Whistleblower Statute & More
If your employer is involved in securities – stock fraud, the Securities Exchange Commission or the “SEC” has a whistleblower statute that rewards people who report corporate fraud and protect them with anti-retaliation rules.
IRS tax fraud — when companies do not pay the IRS taxes they owe or are involved in a scheme to avoid taxes — is covered by the IRS whistleblower rules. If the fraud is substantial the Internal Revenue Service pays tax whistle blower rewards.
What is a Whistleblower Lawsuit/Qui Tam Lawsuit?
Whistleblower lawsuits are the only way to report fraud and collect a cash reward under the U.S. False Claims Act and the 31 State False Claims Acts, including New York, Florida, Texas, and California False Claims Acts.
Warning to Tipsters: If you call and report fraud directly to the government you will not be eligible for a reward beyond a small amount. The only way to earn a cash reward under the False Claims Act is to file a whistleblower lawsuit.
Qui tam lawsuits are lawsuits filed by whistleblowers under the False Claims Act. A qui tam lawsuit is filed by an individual or another company that claims another company has defrauded the government in some way.
The person who files a qui tam lawsuit is called the “relator,” commonly known as the whistleblower. A relator may be an employee, former employee, a competitor, or another contractor or subcontractor who has some knowledge of the alleged fraud.
Qui tam lawsuits cannot be based on public information, unless the whistle blower is the source of the public information. The whistle blower is considered the original source of the allegations.
The False Claim Act dates back to the Civil War and was signed by President Abraham Lincoln to protect against fraud against the government. It has been amended several times since then to accommodate a variety of situations.
How Do You File a Whistleblower Lawsuit?
Qui tam lawsuits are sent directly to the Justice Department for review. They are kept confidential while the government investigates whether or not the allegations are valid. It also gives the government a chance to decide if it wants to join the lawsuit.
This is done before the company being charged is informed about the qui tam lawsuit. The government has 60 days to review the lawsuit, but this time is often extended.
The identity of the whistleblower is protected while the complaint is “sealed” and the Department of Justice investigates. In SEC cases the whistleblower’s name is typically never revealed.
The first whistleblower to file the qui tam lawsuit is the one that will be considered by the court, even if another one contains more detail. This is designed to encourage potential whistleblowers not to hesitate to file their whistleblower lawsuits. So it is critical to speak with a whistleblower lawyer as soon as possible to learn your rights.

What Do Whistleblowers Receive as an Award?
Whistleblowers may receive 15 to 30 percent of the amount of money that the government recovers as a result of the qui tam lawsuit per the U.S. False Claims Act and also the 31 state False Claims Acts that come into play when the government agency that was financially damaged was a state government.
In 2014 and 2015 more than $500 million were paid to whistle blowers each year as rewards ranging in amounts from $75,000 to more than $50 million.
What Job Protections Exist for Whistleblowers?
There are anti-retaliation laws protecting whistleblowers who blow the whistle on their own employer or another company. These individuals are provided whistleblower protection under the U.S. False Claims Act, state False Claims Acts, and the IRS and SEC statutes.
Whistle blowers are protected against retaliation which includes being fired, demoted or harassed. Penalties for such retaliation include reinstatement and substantial damages. These amounts are in addition to anything received as a cash reward.
