Warning

See below the phony flyer created by the so called "International" Green Dragon Society", solely for the purpose to defraud the general public, and martial artists in particular.

The "event" never happened, and if you either paid in advance or left a down payment at the post office box, and now can not contact anyone for a refund, you have been scammed by expert con men.

These criminals use a name very similar to our own name, but have no affiliation whatsoever with the original and official Green Dragon Society.

This is a warning to all Martial Artists to beware these insidious impostors who will attempt to defraud you. Please spread the word to other Martial Artists who are unaware of this fraudulent activity.

The Details of the Sting Operation

Apparently, the current scheme involves printing up phony, expensive, color flyers on heavy stock, glossy paper, to give the "impression" of "big money" behind this non existent convention. Then the cronies of the master con man go about to martial arts tournaments, seminars, real conventions, schools, etc. and spread the word of the upcoming nonexistent event.

If you call the phone number listed they will attempt to talk you into sending the "Advance Payment" in full, or more likely, a "down payment" of $50 or more dollars, to be sent to the infamous "post office box".

They never intend to have any real convention. This is all hype and outright lies. The six Chinese Masters, whose names and pictures appear on the flyer, have been contacted and have informed the Official Green Dragon Society they were 100% unaware their images and names were being used in this fraud!

The Comfort Inn Hotel, in Orland Hills, informed the Official Green Dragon Society that this event had been cancelled well before the dates appearing on the flyer. Yet the flyers were still being passed out the week of the phony convention.

The "International" individual pictured on the flyer is Gerald Ray Warren, the chief perpetrator of this fiasco.

If you were defrauded of any money in this scheme, contact us with the information, anonymously if you prefer, (we don't need your name or any personal information, just a brief description of exactly how you were stung, and whether a credit card was involved or other payment method. The only numbers we would request is the exact amount of the fraudulent theft), and we will direct you to authorities who are currently investigating these criminals. There have already been convictions against these scandalous impostors.
