Check out John Binns post in post #121. He is not talking like someone who actually ran the raffle, and who is responsible for awarding the prizes.

Please find out for me in which state the IRCF is organized. It is obvious to me that contacting them through their website does not seem to be useful.
John seems to be trying to propel you toward tedious and possibly expensive Florida litigation. But if the IRCF is the non profit running the raffle, they should be checking that out for you, in my opinion.

Check out (or I will) the IRCF state statutes and who to contact in the state to initiate a complaint. The positive aspect of complaints to states is that the resulting investigation is done at no cost to you.

Since Ty Park seemed to say that the non-profit is based in Az, if Mr. Binns' organization is actually running the raffle, Mr. Park's involvement alone may put them in a bit of hot water - even if the proper forms were filed with the Az AG office. That's assuming that "bona fide local member" means what I think it does.
