I have "donated" $150.00 to "Saint Matthews Church". They promise you that God is watching you and that when you make a donation, you will get it back tri-fold. They also go as far to say that many people have unfortunate events take place when they don't send any money. I am a very trusting person, or more appropriately, gullable. Qbviously, I was blind to their real intentions.
It infuriates me that these people play on people's faith by using Jesus and God. How wrong and immoral! I am a superstitious person and I was afraid not to send them money as I thought that ill luck would fall upon me. I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and that makes me even more suseptible to such scams.
They tell you to use money that you were going to use for a bill and that God will give it back to you. I have gotten myself in some financial trouble because of this. I was wanting so much to believe that I was doing something good and that I was passing a test of faith.
I hope that this so called "church organization" is caught and put a stop to. As they so commonly state in their letters, "You reap what you sow." God WILL see to it that they reap what they have sewn and I pity them when he does.
I am so glad that I found the listing of complaints which was by pure accident or actually probably not but by the will of God. I think that this is a wonderful service and you will be repaid by God as well!

Any legitimate non-profit will declare their 501(c)(x) status on their literature. It will say something like "God is a 501(c)(10) organization as categorized by the IRS. Your contributions to God are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law." Now, how God may need your money more than you do to pay your bills is one issue, the other is people's greed. You sent them $150 because you thought you were somehow magically going to get $450 back. Just like the nigerian e-mail scam, your greed got you into a jam. Do your kids a favor - don't send your money to God. Buy them food and an education with it.
