I REALLY wish this was true...it would have saved me a lot of grief years ago, but I learned early on that Carroll and Co. routinely post grossly inaccurate information. They will not admit it, or retract their false statements, even after their mistakes are well proven. Opinions and differences in perception are one thing, but the NAFPS folks have actually misidentify people with similar names, listed a well known Enrolled Cherokee Storyteller as a fraud, etc.
Tawohdih was wrongly listed as a "Fraud" on the missing forum. Gayle Ross is an Enrolled Tribal member and a recognized storyteller in her Tribe. Putting someone like her on a Fraud list renders the entire document useless. Not only do they damage an innocent Tribal member, they completely waste the efforts of those volunteers who took the time to check their facts and expose the real frauds who do make up the majority of the list.
There are still four sites up that reposted the same false information....perhaps unknowingly?

These webmasters would do well to remove Ms. Ross from their Fraud Lists immediately, and an public apology to her at the same URL would be very appropriate.
It would not be a bad idea to remove the DEAD people from the list too.
Note to Heather: I know who you are, and I understand and agree with what you are trying to do. Unfortunately you CANNOT trust any information acquired through NAFPS. From what I have personally experianced, Al Carroll cares more about what people think of him than he does about accuracy
