Did you know?

Scott is the other brother of Brian. In short Brian Pasch made his money on the back of a charity telemarketing scam he was part of for 10+ years.

Go to Brian's linkedin and establish his role at Civic Development Group which he lists himself as a minority partner along with his brother and another guy.

He is also mentioned as an executive in this article here, this one is interesting:

Next just google about Civic Development Group, you'll find more articles like this: https://www.charitywatch.org/charit...-forever-forced-to-relinquish-luxury-assets/2

You'll find this interesting one from behind the scenes: https://www.revealnews.org/article/...some-of-americas-worst-charities-in-business/

You'll also find this makeshift blog from someone who has an axe to grind: http://brianpaschcdg.blogspot.com/2015/11/what-role-did-brian-pasch-really-have_5.html

Just keep googling... make your own conclusions. I think Brian Pasch even mentions having to start over on his own personal blog and turning to God, etc.

Dealers question the credibility of automotive industry awards issued by a SEO company, citing the organization's founder's past involvement in a telemarketing fraud scheme and questioning whether the awards are based on objective metrics or vendor relationships. While some defend the value of the founder's current work and resources, critics argue the awards lack independence and rigor comparable to manufacturer vetting or NADA standards, and point to apparent conflicts of interest when the founder's own company competes in categories he helps evaluate.
