Abused Dying Senior Protecting Others

DYING SENIOR PRESENTS ELDER ABUSE PREVENTION CLASS

 

Carol Fairall teaching seniors how to avoid being victims
of elder abuse at PORA Adult Learning Center in
Sun City West, Arizona.

Carol and Mark Fairall presented HELP STOP SENIOR FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION on 10/22/12 at a senior center located in Sun City West to fellow seniors, senior assistance agencies, politicians, and press. The Fairalls goal is to prevent the elder abuse that happened to them from happening to others. They have been fighting their old landlord who refused to fix her leaky moldy sink and stopped the delivery of Carol’s medication in retaliation to their filing complaints with Arizona and Federal officials. Carol’s exposure to the toxic mold started the rejection of transplanted liver and she will die like our three dogs died due to liver cancer. The local newspaper, Daily News Sun, printed “Seminar Tackles Elder Abuse” as the lead story on 10/23/12.

 

The Fairalls reported in the class that they took 46 senior abuse cases to the Police, Arizona Attorney General, and Maricopa County Attorney but nothing was done to stop the senior abuse and 25 seniors died during that time. The landlord filed baseless lawsuits against seniors who moved because they did not receive the medical help as advertised and promised. The Arrowhead Justice Court rubber stamped guilty on all the lawsuits against former residents and defrauded them of nearly $100,000. The senior living facility is a part of the Oakdale Heights/AREI Ponzi scam which is going to trial 1/2/13, it defrauded $250 million from 2,000 investors. The senior living faculty in Peoria, Arizona, was purchased by 19 out-of-state investors who lost $4.5 million on their investment. The investors break many laws in order to keep the property funded and operating. The long range goal to sell the 30+ year-old, 86-unit, and dilapidated property ASAP.

 

The corrupt Justice of the Peace Judge, Melanie Deforest, helped defraud the seniors.  It was just discovered that Deforest lied about her education, previous jobs, and failed to complete the required three-week training to be an Arizona Judge. Deforest has pulled out of the election but she is refusing to resign while she is taking a personal leave which is costing the state in $40,000 in her salary and replacement salaries.  All of the Fairalls’ warning communications with the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors and Superior Court about Deforest’s incompetence, biasness, and rudeness were ignored. The Fairalls have $18,000 of baseless judgments because they did not break the lease but the facility broke the lease by withholding services.

 

The Fairalls showed the class the “smoking gun evidence of 11 false internet advertising contracts” which are illegally posted and duping seniors on the internet. The illegal contracts have the attorney for the landlord Scott E. Williams’ Bates stamp on them which is hard proof that Mr. Williams supports the senior living facility's illegal activities and aides the senior fraud by filing baseless lawsuits. The Fairalls informed the class that the reason the Arizona Officials look the other way is because Mr. Williams was hired by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to represent the Maricopa County Politicians on election matters and lawsuits. This is a massive cover-up of Arizona politician corruption, crook protection, and profiteering from seniors. She reported that she has filed complaints with Senator McCain, President Obama, FBI, HUD, and the DOJ and is still waiting for three years for any justice.

 

Finally, the Fairalls reported in the seminar that they discovered that the landlord was a 2005 Medicare Fraud Felon and that he was terminated in August. The Fairalls’ actions ended Scott Green’s eight-years of senior abuse and fraud at Sun Grove Resort Village. The Fairalls’ actions are helping seniors protect themselves from elder abuse and senior financial exploitations. The Fairalls are busy with the Arizona lawmakers writing new senior protection laws. Carol’s last goal is to appear before the US Congress and inform the federal lawmakers that “A senior is being abused every five seconds” and to fully fund the Elder Justice Act which would help curb this Crime of the 21st Century-Elder Abuse. She will be dead like the rest of the abused senior victims of Sun Grove Resort Village before any justice is achieved.

 

Carol my wife of only two years is my hero. She is making a difference in helping and protecting other seniors.  She will die as another forgotten victim of elder abuse and financial exploitation with no Justice from Arizona.

A FELON LANDLORD AND DISHONORABLE JUDGE

A  FELON LANDLORD AND DISHONORABLE JUDGE

 

The ARIZONA REPUBLIC NEWSPAPER revealed in the 10/07/12 article “Maricopa Judge Drops Election Campaign Amid Scrutiny” that Maricopa County Justice of the Peace, Melanie Deforest, has withdrawn from her Arrowhead Court Election campaign. Deforest does not have her University of Utah bachelor’s degree and Arizona State University master’s degrees in criminal justice. We have requested from the Superior Court and Maricopa County Supervisors that she needs to be immediately removed from her JP position, all that all her decisions need to be reviewed, and that she is prosecuted for criminal fraud.

 

We were subject to her incompetence in our 7/8/10 trial. Our former landlord, Scott Green, falsely advertised that the senior living facility, Sun Grove Resort Village, was a licensed assisted living facility with a nurse and sued us several times. Sun Grove’s manager, Scott Green, refused to fix our apartment’s leaky moldy sink and refused the acceptance for delivery of Carol’s mediation in retaliation to our filing complaints with governmental officials. We know of ten other baseless lawsuits where he sued his former residents when they moved because he could not provide the advertised and promised medical services. It has been discovered that Scott Green is a 2005 Medicare Fraud Felon from Boston. Mr. Green filed over 2,600 false Medicare claims for services that he did not provide. Scott Green abused and defrauded seniors at Sun Grove Resort Village for nearly eight years until he was recently fired in August, 2012. Deforest ruined our credit and cost us money, effort, and time fighting baseless lawsuits from a crooked landlord. My wife is dying due to her transplanted liver rejection caused by her exposure to mold in her apartment.

 

We have sent extensive new evidence concerning our elder abuse and senior financial exploitation that we suffered by Sun Grove Resort Village. The Maricopa County Attorney, Bill Montgomery, has asked Peoria Police Chief, Roy Minter Jr., to reopen our elder abuse claim #-1-10-007447 that we filed on 05/31/10 against Sun Grove Resort Village. We have spoken to Peoria Police Chief, Roy Minter Jr., and he is reexamining our claims of Sun Grove Resort Village’s elder abuse, false advertising, and an imposter nurse. We explained to Chief Roy Minter Jr. that we know of 46 senior abuse cases at Sun Grove Resort Village and 25 seniors have gone to their graves without justice. One of the victims was our deceased 94-year old aunt, Catherine Reinertson, who was forced to move, was abused by the withholding essential service of air conditioning unit repair, and was defrauded of $3,000 with a baseless lawsuit. Mrs. Reinertson died last year a broken and sad woman caused by elder abuse and senior financial exploitation.

 

We are trying to protect other seniors from elder abuse with needed information to avoid being a victim of this Crime of the 21^st Century. HELP STOP SENIOR FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION is scheduled for 10/22/12 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the PORA Adult Learning Center located at 13815 Camino del Sol, Sun City West, AZ 85375. Seating is limited so RSVP at (623) 584-4288 extension #415.

 

INFORMATION CONCERNING OUR ELDER ABUSE PREVENTION CLASS

I MET AN ANGEL IN HELL

Senior Financial Exploitation has been called the Crime of the 21^st Century. A senior is abused every five seconds in the United States. My wife and I have been fighting a senior living facility that abused us and financially exploited us for over three years. We met at Sun Grove Resort Village in January, 2009, and fell in love. I tell everyone that I met an angel in Hell. We married on October 2, 2010, but she is facing the rejection of her transplanted liver due to senior abuse. We are presenting an elder abuse prevention class on October 22^nd at the Sun City West PORA Adult Learning in order protect seniors from the abuse we suffered. The class will inform the seniors on the scope of elder abuse, the top 10 senior scams, 15 tips to avoid being a victim of elder abuse, and 14 new senior protection law ideas. The state legislators who are interested in protecting seniors will be in attendance, and our private investigator will speak about the need to do background checks on caregivers. The emphasis of the HELP STOP SENIOR FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION event will be education and prevention, which are the keys to stopping elder abuse. The class is scheduled from 1 PM to 3 PM on 10/22/12 at the PORA Adult Learning Center located at 13815 Camino del Sol, Sun City West, AZ 85375. Seating is limited, so RSVP as soon as possible at (623) 584-2488 ext. #415.

I was living at Sun Grove Resort Village with my 93-year old aunt a year before Carol moved there in January, 2009. I had a stroke and suffer seizures while Carol is a post-liver transplant patient. We were sold on the senior living facility’s advertised/promised medical services and staff, but they were all lies. The senior living facility was not a properly licensed assisted living facility, and the nurse was an imposter nurse who was previously cited in 2005 by the Arizona Board of Nursing. I was the chairman of the residents’ committee which handled complaints from the senior residents living at Sun Grove Resort Village with the manager, Scott Green. Since I had been a bank vice president and on the Better Business Bureau Board, I was able to assist the senior residents file complaints with the proper state governmental agencies. I was forced to resign from the residents’ committee due to landlord retaliation of withholding essential services. When I notified Scott Green that I was moving, that Carol and I were getting married, and that we had filed complaints with officials, then all Hell broke loose.

Scott Green withheld more essential services such as refusing to fix our air conditioning unit, refusing to remove mold from our apartment, and even refusing the delivery of Carol’s medication. Scott Green sued us several times and we have $18,000 worth of wrongful judgments against us from baseless lawsuits. Green forced my 94-year old aunt to move, threatened her with jail time, and extorted $3,000 from her. She passed away last year a very sad and broken woman. Carol is now rejecting her transplanted liver due to her mold exposure, and she will die like our three dogs died because of their exposure to the mold. We saw 46 senior abuse/financial exploitation cases at Sun Grove Resort Village and 25 seniors died with no justice. We just discovered that Scott Green is a 2005 Medicare Fraud Felon because he filed over 2,600 false Medicare claims. Scott Green continued to scam seniors with false advertising and baseless lawsuits for eight years at Sun Grove Resort Village until he was recently fired in August, 2012. We also know that the judge who perpetuated that senior financial exploitation criminal activity, Melanie Deforest, lied about her college degrees and is no longer running for the Arrowhead Justice of the Peace position. We have asked the FBI, Department of Justice, Senator John McCain, and President Obama for help in getting Justice for seniors living in Arizona.

 

OUR JUDGE, MELANIE DEFOREST, IS A FRAUD

“MARICOPA JUDGE DROPS ELECTION CAMPAIGN AMID SCRUTINY”

ARIZONA REPUBLIC NEWSPAPER – 10/7/12

The ARIZONA REPUBLIC NEWSPAPER revealed in the 10/07/12 article “Maricopa Judge Drops Election Campaign Amid Scrutiny” that Maricopa County Justice of the Peace has withdrawn from her Arrowhead Court Election campaign. It was discovered that Deforest does not have the college degrees she claims and that she embellished her previous job experiences. Deforest does not have her University of Utah bachelor’s degree and Arizona State University master’s degrees in criminal justice. Deforest withdrew from the JP race and stated: “I cannot provide (college transcripts) in a timely manner and I would rather focus more on my family than politics at this time.”  The universities have verified that Deforest does not have the degrees she claims. The Maricopa County Justice Court and Maricopa County Supervisors did not verify her past job and academic credentials. Lester Rosen, chief executive of Employment Screening Resources of San Francisco stated: “If job seekers are dishonest as they seek work, there’s a possibility that same characteristic would surface as an employee.” Maricopa County Board of Supervisors spokesman Richard de Uriarte stated: “It is disappointing that in her subsequent comments that she might have inflated her credentials. All you have in this life is your word.” Melanie Deforest stated she plans to remain until another justice of the peace takes office and then she will return to Utah with her children and family. On 10/05/12, Maricopa County Officials removed Deforest’s biography from the county justice court website.

 http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/20120928maricopa-judge-drops-election-campaign.html

 Melanie Deforest needs to be immediately removed from her JP position and prosecuted for fraud. All her decisions need to be reviewed. We were subject to her incompetence in our 7/8/10 trial. We sued our former landlord, Sun Grove Resort Village, to recover illegally collected service dog fees, loss of our apartment upgrades, a stolen countertop from our rental home, and the penalty allowed by law for withholding essential services. Sun Grove countersued us for the non-payment of rent and Contractual Interference. We lost and Sun Grove won. We now have $18,000 of wrongful judgments for baseless lawsuits from Arrowhead Court.

 Deforest was grossly biased to the Sun Grove lawyer, Scott E. Williams, who is also a part-time JP Judge in the East Mesa JP Court. Mr. Williams was representing returning JP judge Lex Anderson on an election issue at the same time of our trial. Deforest refused our motion for a change to an impartial venue and refused to allow us to have a jury trial. Deforest threw out our evidence even through the police requested us not to disclose it until pretrial, which never occurred, even when the court clerk said that was no problem. Deforest failed to understand the lawsuit, refused to allow us to cross examine a witness who was threatening to kill us, refused to delay the trial when our witness was in a coma in the hospital, and failed to follow proper courtroom procedures and protocols. Deforest ruled against us and even awarded Sun Grove a double satisfaction judgment on a baseless lawsuit. All Appeals and a Fraud of the Court Motion have failed since the court lost or destroyed the only trial recording. Our 9/9/10 Complaint to the Commission on Judicial Conduct concerning Deforest’s incompetence, biasness, and rudeness was dismissed.

 Our former landlord, Scott Green, falsely advertised that the senior living facility was a licensed assisted living facility with a nurse but that was all untrue. The Arizona Department of Nursing had cited Claudia Marquez as an imposter nurse on 5/25/05 but she still illegally operates at Sun Grove as a nurse. Scott Green sued the residents that moved when they discovered the senior living facility could not deliver the advertised medical services. We know of ten baseless lawsuits in the Arrowhead Justice Court where Sun Grove sued their former residents and received nearly $100,000 in wrongful judgments. It has been just discovered that Sun Grove’s manager, Scott Green, is a Medicare Fraud Felon who pled guilty in 2005 in Boston Federal Court. Mr. Green filed over 2,600 false Medicare claims for services that were not provided, which totaled over $70,000. Mr. Green continued to defraud seniors at Sun Grove for eight years with false advertising and baseless lawsuits. Arrowhead Court allowed the misuse of the judicial system as a court sanctioned senior financial exploitation scam in order to provide operating funds to Sun Grove. The 19 owners of Sun Grove purchased the senior living property in 2006 as an investment property but they lost their $4.5 million investment since it was part of the Oakdale Heights/AREI Ponzi scam. The owners do anything to keep the senior living facility funded so that they can sell the property in order to recover some of their losses. Deforest did not understand Sun Grove’s history and refused it to be presented in our opening statement. Justice died in Deforest’s courtroom.

 The tragedy of the story is that Deforest ruined our credit and cost us money, effort, and time fighting baseless lawsuits from a crooked landlord. We don’t have much time since the toxic mold in our Sun Grove apartment, which Scott Green refused to fix, has started the rejection of my wife’s transplanted liver. She will die of liver rejection caused by the toxic mold like our three dogs died of the same thing. Carol’s last wish is to protect other seniors from elder abuse and senior financial exploitation so we are teaching HELP STOP SENIOR FINANCIAL EXPLOITATION at PORA Adult Learning on 10/22/12. Carol wants to protect seniors from what happened to us. We are presenting 15 tips on how to protect yourself from elder abuse and financial exploitation. The answer to stopping elder abuse is education and prevention. We are having our lawmakers come to class since we are presenting 14 new Arizona senior protection laws. One of the laws we are requesting is to require a Justice of the Peace to be a lawyer, which is now in 33 other states. Deforest is the poster-girl why this law needs to be in place. Deforest was unqualified to be a JP, she was an aerobics instructor, and she was given the part-time JP judge job as a political gift because her policeman husband was shot on the job. It is time for Arizona to join the 21^st Century with qualified JPs and to end the present “Good-Old-Boy” reward Justice of the Peace system.
