Subject: Nationals Incorporated/Cities of America

Wow, reading all of those blogs was crazy! The simple point is, DO RESEARCH!!! My daughter was accepted into this pageant for Richmond, VA. She was required to get $495 in sponsorships within 2 weeks of the information session. I began researching the company and most of you won't believe what I found. First of all, Nationals Inc. holds NO business liscense. They list 2 addresses in Hermitage, PA as their base...both are frauds! Go to google maps and look them up, one is an empty field of trees and the other in an empty lot within a subdivision. The addresses are bogus, also I have found about 8 listed phone numbers, many of which are "no longer in service". I have found 2 separate news articles where their photographers were actually REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS! Not just 1 photographer, but 2 of them! They apparently don't bother to do any backround checks on the people that the hire.. Scary isn't it?? ALL of the information that I have found is vague and sketchy. They now have 15 complaints with the Better Business Bureau. Listen people! Who are we trusting our young girls too?? The Patty person who puts on such a good show, I have found not 1 but three last names for... The Nationals Inc. reports that they make $720,000 annually but only have 10 employees. I find it hard to believe that any pageant is put on by only 10 people. That said, where do you think that all of the sponsorship money goes? All I can say is that SOMEONE is making a HEFTY profit! I have found 2 judges that say they were volunteers and that the pageant was very poorly put together. If their photographers are sex offenders, who is checking the judges?? You are putting your children at risk!! How long were the SEX OFFENDER photographers working for them before someone figured it out? There have been SEVERAL girls who have come forward about being molested at their photo shoots. Even more girls are terrified about what these men have done with their pictures! All of my information has been provided by the past 2 days of research. LOOK IT UP!! All of the information is right here on the internet if you look for it. My daughter is Gorgeous, but I'd be damned before I put her in front of these people!!!!! If you have had issues with these people PLEASE report it!! I have contacted my local police fraud dept, and am also contacting the National Fraud information center. Someone has got to stop this before one of OUR children gets hurt, or worse!!! And, unlike ALL of the positive Anonymous bloggers, I'll put my name out there because I am not afraid of these people AND because I want to protect our children!!!!! Oh and in one of my web searches, the first thing that came up was "Naughty Local Girls" "where you can browse local photos and profiles for FREE"! If you want to check it out, look at www.Mate1.com. I sincerely hope that you don't find YOUR childs information there... Sincerely, Candy Gehman Chesterfield, VA
