CCCare - Church Welfare Organisation Scams Client
Press Release
Church Welfare Organisation Scams Client
A physically and mentally ill welfare client was conned by his Social Worker to perform 1,400 hours slave labour for a mate. Whilst also being scammed into signing a personal loan with the Social Workers finance company.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Melbourne, Australia, January 21, 2009 - A 43 year old man who had recently been discharged from hospital, sought welfare assistance through Christian City Care, a Pentecostal Church welfare organisation based in Box Hill, Melbourne. Over the course of five months he was systematically scammed and conned by the organisations appointed Social Worker, who was also the Director of his own finance company.
The same company who cohered the welfare client into signing a personal loan. Further lies and client abuse followed, with the Social Worker arranging a meeting with a supposed friend who could apparently assist the welfare client to get back on his feet. Much later it was learnt that this ‘so called friend’ was a finance customer purported to have an outstanding debit of $10,000 owed to the Social Worker's company.
This friend was the Director & owner of Connections Consulting Pty Ltd. The welfare client, a web developer, was offered two projects. However both projects turned from four days work, into 3.5 months & 1,400 hours of work. Over this period the welfare client was treated like a lackey. He was ordered to perform additional office duties, was subjected to both emotional abuse, intimidation and threats of physical violence. Towards the end of his harrowing ordeal, he was forced; by fears of abuse, to worked 24 hour periods without out rest or adequate food. In total he received $300.
The CCCare Social Worker promised he would be paid on completion. Instead his Social Worker sacked him two days prior to the planned completion date. When asked for payment his Social Worker stated “I only introduce people, what Frank owes you is between you and Frank, it has nothing to do with me.”
A formal letter of complaint was sent to the Pastor of Christian City Church Whitehorse, Peter McHugh. Who is the Chairman & Director of the Board for both the Church and CCCare. The response was a white wash. Neither organisations accepted accountability for their dodgy Social Worker. Further attempts to have this matter resolved has produced an identical 'head in the sand' mentality.
As of January 21, 2009 the welfare client is yet to receive an apology from the Church, much less being compensated for the 1,400 hours worked. In total more than $48,000 is still owed to the welfare client of CCCare.

what pigs! i know of a friend who had problems with cccare at oxford falls. she ended up more depressed and attempted suicide a couple times when they put her on strong meds. since then she is more depressed than ever and is returning back home overseas.
the fact is even if you complain no-one listens to you. i think you should seek some legal advise. maybe lodge it with department of fair trading or govt scamming department. what a horrific ordeal. clearly they took advantage of you. you should get your money back.
