Mayte et al: We. Told. You. So. - Part 1 - The Facts

For everyone Mayte and Dave wronged, harassed, lied about and betrayed, we offer you divine justice in memory of the one she wronged the most over the last 27 years!

Mayte: We. Told. You. So.

Dave:  We. Told. You. So. (We will be dragging your sloppy behind and spitting out bones in a minute here in Part 2)

Kim: We. Told. You. So. (Since you are fundraising for her, keeping track of donations and reporting them publicly, but not to CA DOJ,  you need to pay close attention to the portion of the letter that talks about penalties for commercial fundraisers because the moment you began doing all this, per CA law you became one - try explaining that to the hubby.)

LyNNette: We. Told. You. So. (You work as pseudo law enforcement, you REALLY need to pay attention to this if you intend to keep your job because someone who doesn’t like you may see this and remember what you’ve posted and contact the State of Tennessee as well as a friend they have at the state legislature there.)

Josh: We. Told. You. So. (Sever ties immediately or Dogumantry is going down, too because if she can’t operate Mayte’s Rescue, she will attempt to fold it into your LLC. If DOJ is watching her, they are watching you, too - guilt by association. And know the eyewear scheme Dave set you up with is dangerous, why do you think he’s on the west coast and owns nothing? Liens, like Dave, are a pain in the behind.)

‘That Bish’ Drue: We. Told. You. So. (Grow a pair, you are just as dirty as the rest and even worse because you not only sell out those who trust you, but you sold your soul.)

Media: We. Told. You. So. (How do you like them apples!?)

Crusaders: We. Told. You. So. (stop wasting your money supporting her lifestyle, instead give to the charities Prince - remember him, the ONLY reason you know who Mayte “Basic Chick” Garcia is - Star Tribune gave a list of 7 charities to donate to in his honor. Notice they listed the charity of one ex-wife and not the other. And don’t say it is hate or favoritism as they’ve interviewed her many times over AFTER his death as well as before. They checked the registration information and it would be unethical to direct people toward that charity when they are unsure about its legality.)

And every other person who talked smack: WE. TOLD. YOU. SO.

Remember when we wrote this: 

Mayte’s Rescue is not registered to fund raise in CA. By law, all California charities wishing to fund raise must be registered with State Attorney General. This is a measure designed to protect donors and assure that monies accepted on behalf the charity are not “squandered through fraud or other means.” Furthermore, annual financial disclosures are required and should be turned in. Garcia’s charity has not complied with this statute since it was granted charitable status in 2013. https://oag.ca.gov/charities.

Mayte’s response was a FB Live Feed.

Then we gave a rebuttal because that is what intelligent people do: 

For the record, it doesn’t matter how good Mayte Garcia’s intentions are, if she is going to operate as a public charity in the state of California with federal 501©3 tax-exempt status, Mayte Garcia’s rescue is required to operate like any other nonprofit organization. In California, the DOJ provides oversight that protects both the public AND the charity’s governing body (re: Board of Directors) and ensures that monies collected from donations and fundraising activities. Ms. Garcia’s charity presented her Articles of Incorporation to the State Attorney General in 2012 (they are stamped with that date and searchable online). She has a crowdfunding page showing she began raising money in 2012 as well. Even if Mayte collected one nickel, she had up to 4.5 months to register with DOJ. The fact that she didn’t nor did she file an IRS return for her charity in that year (2012) places the fault purely at her feet. The fact that in 7 years she has not complied places the onus squarely on her as the named President of Mayte’s Rescue. Anyone who has ever run a nonprofit knows this and accepts that responsibility. Furthermore, there are organizations that help people who haven’t run a nonprofit learn the laws. 

Mayte let her pimp and pet raccoon David Sean “RICO” Buchansky act the fool he was and started attacking people. Dave called them liars, but guess what? You and Mayte:

The people who were attacked and harassed know that silence is golden. They sat quietly because they know this about the truth: when you live and walk in truth, you run from nothing or no one. Well, Mayte, by her own admission is running. Then, he organized her haters, uh, we mean “crusaders” to attack anyone who they felt owed Mayte their loyalty and frequently used the term “jealous”. But we aren’t running so why would we be jealous?!  

Good triumphs over evil every time. You really have to congratulate those who waited quietly because while Dave, Kim, LyNNette and countless other idiots were harassing people in Mayte’s name, the quiet ones were investigating, doing research and organizing themselves around the law.

Well, their efforts paid off because a few weeks after our first post on the charity scam, California DOJ served Mayte with a notice to register behind what Dave called a “fake article”:

Section 12585 of the CA law as cited in this letter reads:

Uniform Supervision of Trustees for Charitable Purposes Act [12580 - 12599.8] 12585.  

(a) Every charitable corporation, unincorporated association, and trustee subject to this article shall file with the Attorney General an initial registration form, under oath, setting forth information and attaching documents prescribed in accordance with rules and regulations of the Attorney General, within 30 days after the corporation, unincorporated association, or trustee initially receives property. A trustee is not required to register as long as the charitable interest in a trust is a future interest, but shall do so within 30 days after any charitable interest in a trust becomes a present interest.

(b) The Attorney General shall adopt rules and regulations as to the contents of the initial registration form and the manner of executing and filing that document or documents.

Property in this manner includes monetary donations per the law. The letter also cites her need to comply with  CA Government code 12586: 

Every charitable corporation, unincorporated association, and trustee subject to this article shall, in addition to filing copies of the instruments previously required, file with the Attorney General periodic written reports, under oath, setting forth information as to the nature of the assets held for charitable purposes and the administration thereof by the corporation, unincorporated association, or trustee, in accordance with rules and regulations of the Attorney General.” This is the language in the code the second letter references.

They gave Mayte 30 days to submit the proper documentation. When we saw this back in June, we KNEW then what Mayte was not going to be able to do and how this would all end (again, walking in truth, you can’t be wrong).

We took bets around here on whether Mayte or Dave were going to be bright enough to not just fill out the form they were asked to fill out and send the $25 fee, but to also provide the supporting documentation that if you click on in the link to the form, you will see that they require certain filings like bylaws (which we knew she did not have - thus one reason she was shut down in FL) and filing with the CA tax board. Even after our initial post on this charity scam gave her instructions and information on how to do that.

But rather than do what she should have been doing (re: handling her business like a grown woman), Mayte continue to solicit donations illegally for her charity and went so far as to use Prince in the process. She was using his music, for which she did not seek proper licensing, to use in her hula hoop classes that she repeatedly advertised were for the purpose of funding her charity’s efforts.

Mayte then let Dave out of his cage to start barking at passers by who could only think how pathetic he is to be lying about this. HE was derelict in his duties several years ago in Florida, and he was derelict of his duties in CA. Now having done this a few times, Mayte could possibly have her 501c3 status snatched altogether and when that happens, she won't get it back very easily and everyone around her and working with her better be careful because you will, too, be audited and charged any penalties. Rather than throwing shadelessness at us, you should have read the links we posted in May that outlined exactly what could happen if you did not comply with the law.

But you didn’t because on August 30th, you were given the following status by California DOJ:

Before one of ye old “Crusaders” even fixes your mouth to say it’s a lie: Here is the website to check her registration status. You can use her Federal EIN (461273161), enter the “charity’s” name (Mayte’s Rescue) or enter the Registration Number Assigned to her Initial Application (CT0251991). Once you get this screen, you can click on the rescue name to the right and see what it is we are about to show you.

If you look at this screen, it would appear her registration is not up for renewal until 5-15-2018.  However, if you call CA DOJ to confirm (which we do because defamation can get you sued), they will tell you this is renewal date only refers to the Registration Number which was issued on 8-30-2017, as we will show you in a moment). 

Notice the Confirmation of Registration Letter. If you click on it, you will see this:

CA DOJ states that they did assign her a registration number, but that she is delinquent in filing all of the paperwork they initially asked for on 6-1-2017. 

But pay attention to the code they cite:

CALIFORNIA CODE OF REGULATIONS TITLE 11. DIVISION 1. CHAPTER 4. REGULATIONS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO THE SUPERVISION OF TRUSTEES AND FUNDRAISERS FOR CHARITABLE PURPOSES ACT § 300. Initial Registration (b).

This statute reads:  

(b) An Initial Registration Form and supplemental documents identified in that form shall be submitted to the Registry of Charitable Trusts. The Initial Registration Form shall require the following:

Name of the organization (the name must be the legal name as stated in the organization’s organizing instrument);

Official mailing address of the organization;

Federal employer identification number from the Internal Revenue Service;

Federal employer identification group exemption number from the Internal Revenue Service (if applicable);

If the organization is a corporation, the corporate or organization number from the Secretary of State. If the organization is unincorporated, the organization number assigned by the Franchise Tax Board upon application for California tax exemption;

Names, addresses, and positions of all trustees or directors and officers;

Attach or provide a statement fully describing the primary activity of the organization. (A copy of the material submitted with the application for federal or state tax exemption will normally provide this information.);

If the organization is based outside of California, comment fully on the extent of activities in California and how the California activities relate to total activities. In addition, list all funds, property, and other assets held or expected to be held in California. Indicate whether you are monitored in your home state and, if so, by whom;

If assets (funds, property, etc.) have been received, enter the date first received. 

Mayte did not turn in bylaws because she doesn’t have any, as we said months ago. They also said that between June 1st and August 30th, Mayte never turned in her IRS filings to DOJ. Now follow us for a moment. Remember back in the first video when Mayte said she would show proof to the Cult of Crusaders? She showed them this:

Mayte could post her 990 e-cards to Facebook, but could not send them to CA DOJ between June 1st and August 30th?! So she could show it to the crazies, sorry, “crusaders” (we just can’t seem to get that right today), but failed to show the state regulating body in order to protect a scam she loves so much?! And just for the people who may say she was busy “rescuing” dogs, then fine, what was her excuse for not asking Dave? Not like he was doing anything but sitting at home in his drawers on his computer harassing folks making fake pages, profiles and accounts, hacking stuff.  If they were really about business, they would have handled business. But, we are talking about some of the silliest criminals and they aren’t too bright. But, please, let’s continue through this journey into the truth.

Of note is the fact that DOJ also sent Mayte a 1st delinquency notice. You may think that it just a follow up requesting the things that were asked in the Confirmation Letter. However, it is a whole different letter citing different laws her organization is not complying with:

Not only is she delinquent in paying her annual filing fee, this charity she implored people to believe was legit did not file one for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, or 2016. What’s even more ridiculous is that she had until May of 2017 to pay the 2016 fee and file that paperwork. But failed to do so and still hasn’t in 9 months since the filing year ended on 12-31-2016. Along with the fee one has to submit the reporting form and she is delinquent on that as well.

To add insult to injury, Mayte also has not turned in her federal tax forms from 2012-2016 to California, which is required to be a legit registered charity. She posted two on Facebook, so you know she had them. She also could have down loaded copies from the IRS site as anyone in the public domain can for any 501(c)3. It doesn’t require much talent or skill, she could have trained Dave to do it, after all, she trained him to sit, take orders, surrender his manhood (more on that in Part 2). But she didn’t do it because she doesn’t have a filing for 2012. See, Mayte began collecting donations in 2012 (you can go to her Facebook page and see). She and her sister were both soliciting donations and holding auctions for what Mayte called her charity. The IRS only shows she has been filing since 2013 returns were due. She never reported any of the donations she received in 2012 to anyone, but told fans they were a “charity.” 

Also, Mayte’s filings to the IRS indicate that the “charity” made less than $50,000. In 2014, she had a yard sale she discussed on TMZ If you look at the first week she was on the NY Times Bestsellers and her second/last week, in order to be at the position she was at the first week, she had to sell at least 30K books that week and about as many the second. Remember that her publisher stated that a dollar from each book sale would go to her “charity”. So in those two weeks alone she exceeded what she told the federal government in her 2016 990 e-card she took in which is also illegal in a BIG way!

The above post is BS when Mayte was on TMZ in April 2014 saying from a 2-day garage sale of all things Prince, she made $15,000. So how is it between 2012-2016 she ONLY made $22,000? So that means in that 4 year period, once you subtract the $15,000 she made in 2014 for the one garage sale she only made $7,000? How is this possible when she was selling place settings from her wedding China before and after that for $3,000-$7,000 a pop?! If you donated to her in this period, you need to start talking to other donors because something is amiss in her accounting.

Now, while the fact that the letter states that if she does not do comply and file those returns she will lose her CA tax-exempt status and/or be assessed fees and penalties per the law, Mayte and ANYONE who ever was named an officer (Dave, her mother, Drue, Josh, her aunt Anamaria Mendez) and anyone who acted as a fundraising entity (Kim) over these last 5 years will also be held liable for the fines and penalties. 

But that is not the worst part. On page 2 of this letter from the state finding her delinquent, they told her to stop soliciting donations IMMEDIATELY in bold print: 

A delinquent organization may not engage in any activity for which registration is required, including solicitation of charitable assets.

How does Mayte respond? She does 3 things:

1. She announces she is fleeing to Vegas (she announced this two weeks prior to receiving the delinquency notices, but clearly she knew her time was running out on something, but no one really knew why she was running. She has no facility, just a mailbox where people are sending donations. This violates additional laws by the U.S. Postal Service (one of the things the Feds used to take Al Capone down in addition to tax fraud - makes you go hmmmm, doesn’t it?!):

Per 940. 18 U.S.C. Section 1341—Elements of Mail Fraud:

There are two elements in mail fraud: (1) having devised or intending to devise a scheme to defraud (or to perform specified fraudulent acts), and (2) use of the mail for the purpose of executing, or attempting to execute, the scheme (or specified fraudulent acts)."  Raising money for a charity in in a state that requires state registration when you have NO facility and were told by another state to stop doing so constitutes mail fraud.

Per the U.S. Postal Service the penalties for such fraud are:

Scam artists who use the U.S. Mail to misrepresent charities may be prosecuted under the mail fraud statute, Title 18, USC 1341. The penalty is a fine or up to five years imprisonment, or both -- unless a financial institution is affected, in which case the fine may be raised to $1 million and imprisonment may ordered for up to 30 years, or both.

2. She announces more hula hoop classes for which she specifically says they are raising money for her charity AND she has them in states and D.C. where she is required to register to fundraise even for a one-off event.

If this wasn’t enough, Mayte is going back to LA to raise money for her charity after CA specifically told her not to solicit donations there.

Mayte even changed the rules for her hula hooping to read no reciepts will be given:

On behalf of Mayte's Bellydance Hope you are getting ready to shimmy, sweat and smile with Mayte ! Attendees will be permitted into the studio where you will have to check in at the merchandise desk. After check-in we will be having a reception where you can purchase hip scarves, shirts and other Mayte related items of which portions of the proceeds will go towards Mayte’s Rescue. We accept cash and all major credit cards. There will be no after class reception as we have to get to our next city so we will leave right after class. All pictures and merchandise sales will be conducted from during the reception only. We do not offer PAPER receipts, all receipts for all items can be emailed or texted to you. At this point you will be able to take a picture with Mayte. All pictures will be taken with our camera to save time so everybody can get a picture as we have to start class promptly. We will be printing out pictures with our photo printer for you to pick up when class ends. Sorry we cannot permit pictures with your cell phone or personal cameras as it takes up time. Mayte will only sign ONE personal item and any items you purchased at the actual class(pictures, books, CD’s , DVD’s) Also, here are some policies we had put in place for safety and timing reasons: Absolutely no video recording will be permitted. We will be recording video and posting it on Mayte’s web site which is password protected for your privacy. Password will be provided at class or you can always email us and we will give it to you. No pictures or recording of any kind allowed. Anybody taking pictures or recording will be asked to leave. Only ticketholders will be permitted into the dance studio. If you have a spouse or friend who wants to just come watch, they will have to purchase a ticket. Children under the age of 13 do not have to purchase a ticket to watch the class, they only have to purchase a ticket if they participate. They also must not be obstructive to the class. Any children that obstruct the class will be asked to wait in the waiting area outside of the studio. Also, no pictures or video will be allowed to be taken by anyone observing. All bags are subject to search. This is due to safety reasons, for the safety of students and Mayte. We reserve the right to refuse admission without reason. If you are refused and you had paid for a ticket, you will be refunded. Refusal is done at our discretion. As soon as class ends, you must depart the studio as we have to vacate the studio at a specific time. Now that we got that out of the way….lets all have some fun and get ready to Shimmy, Sweat and Smile!! Looking forward to seeing everyone ! Mayte’s Bellydance

 Well, the IRS will tell you that a charity event that will not give you a receipt on site is suspicious and that you probably shouldn’t be donating to them. They tell people to be wary of the “Dirty Dozen” types of tax scams to include those that will take cash donations and not give receipts and those that run donation scams during natural disasters and crises:

Be wary of charities with names that are similar to familiar or nationally known organizations. Some phony charities use names or websites that sound or look like those of respected, legitimate organizations. IRS.gov has a search feature, Exempt Organizations Select Check, which allows people to find legitimate, qualified charities to which donations may be tax-deductible. 

Legitimate charities will provide their Employer Identification Numbers (EIN), if requested, which can be used to verify their legitimacy through EO Select Check. It is advisable to double check using a charity's EIN. 

Don’t give out personal financial information, such as Social Security numbers or passwords, to anyone who solicits a contribution. Scam artists may use this information to steal identities and money from victims. Donors often use credit cards to make donations. Be cautious when disclosing credit card numbers. Confirm that those soliciting a donation are calling from a legitimate charity.

Don’t give or send cash. For security and tax record purposes, contribute by check or credit card or another way that provides documentation of the gift.

Mayte admits she was hoarding dogs and that is the reason she had to shut her facility down here.

Furthermore, her website is still soliciting donations even without a facility. She is asking people for money to not do the work she says they are doing. But don’t let us tell you. Let Mayte tell it (re: lie) to you herself:

*** For the record, we have never challenged Mayte’s IRS status. The IRS ONLY gives her the ability to allow people who donate to her “charity” the ability to use their donations as a deduction and allows her to not have to pay federal taxes on any income to the “charity” derived from donations or charitable assets (which donations are considered). Mayte will try to get slick and say she’s legit because she has that designation letter. The IRS has a clear distinction between what 501(c)3 status is versus Non-profit status:

Nonprofit status is a state law concept. Nonprofit status may make an organization eligible for certain benefits, such as state sales, property and income tax exemptions. Although most federal tax-exempt organizations are nonprofit organizations, organizing as a nonprofit organization at the state level does not automatically grant the organization exemption from federal income tax. To qualify as exempt from federal income tax, an organization must meet requirements set forth in the Internal Revenue Code.

This means that even though Mayte has federal status, it does not exempt her from fulfilling the requirements states have for fundraising. She can have her federal status (which isn’t difficult to get) and still not be able to fundraise. Unfortunately for Mayte, who doesn’t seem to understand the separation of powers in states, there are very few states where you don’t have to register. A law firm that represents nonprofits will give you a state by state break down of filing requirements.  There are 37 states that have these requirements have fines and penalties they assess for failure to comply:

There are 9 states that do not require charitable registration: Delaware, Iowa, Idaho, Indiana, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Vermont & Wyoming. Texas has limited registration requirements that are only applicable to law enforcement, public safety and veterans organizations. Arizona requires charitable veterans organizations to register if they are solictiging money or other support in the state. Finally, Louisiana only requires registration if a charity engages paid, professional solicitors to fundraise in their state, while Missouri exempts 501c3, 501c7 and 501c8 organizations, upon application.

They will also report her to the IRS who could revoke her status. Mayte is trying to skirt the law and lying to her “fans” to make that happen. Mayte resist the urge to blame us and address us because your own posts and videos are getting you in deeper. Just. Be. Silent. Blaming us won’t change the fact you screwed up. It is time you start taking responsibility for yourself. You blame everyone else when the fault is yours.

Don’t forget to read Part 2

**** UPDATE

Don’t think Mayte has done any damage to Prince’s legacy?! When his fans start turning against him and turning to her, a woman who hasn’t done much of anything after he fired (re: divorced) her, take that as proof positive, she has:

If Mayte wanted to be more, she could have left. She didn’t. She made a conscious, adult choice to stay. HE left her. Her no-talent friends, the Kardashians, have built a multi-million empire by being famous for being famous. That’s it, no talent, no skills! Mayte couldn’t ask for tips?! She never planned on being more and she still doesn’t. Proof: petitioning the estate of a man she had been divorced from for more than 18 years for a pension is as tacky as announcing a book less than 4 months after he died. She’s stays all about the money!

Dave's Talking Mess Again: #NeverAgain

So Dave decided to open his mouth today:

The only thing Dave needs to open his mouth for is to stick a sweet roll in it. But no, he wants to start with the lies and the bullcrap. Again, Mayte’s inner circle (mainly Dave) is leaking at the mouth, being the source of her destruction (by bragging about hanging out with Apples et al to build his own credibility as a celebrity sidekick to a D-lister). Dave knows damn well when they FIRST met Apollonia, she invited them to her table, Mayte and that slob tagalong Dave--- the drunks they are--- drank up all the champagne Apollonia graciously bought.

Dave wants to say Apples, FunkSoliders, even Taylor Swift and Beyonce are jealous of Mayte. You know what, Prince may have slept with Mayte, but the rest of us can say we have the pleasure of saying “at least we didn’t sleep with Dave.” Mayte is not that lucky. In fact, the same members of that inner circle (mostly made up of Dave and the others connected to that puppy scam) told people Mayte told him NEVER AGAIN! If you ever have to utter those words to a man, God help him because if he stays following you around, then his behind deserves to have his heart and ego trampled by your 6-inch Lou Bou ripoffs, Mayte. Dave, get a backbone and some self esteem. The only person jealous of anyone is you of Prince because he had and didn’t want what you still can’t get. He’s dead and he STILL can get it and doesn’t want it even in the afterlife. So keep talking, keep lying and #StayMadDave! #NeverAgain!

Even Prince is in heaven and doesn’t understand....

Mayte et al: We. Told. You. So. Part 2 - The Truth - A Rebuttal

We don’t even need to write much but  WE. TOLD. YOU. SO.

Dumb Dave posted this:

Like we said, he would call it fake. 

Notice how the tone and the language is identical to the so-called “fake” screenshots. You can’t fake that! Dave, also in those screenshots, confuses your (possession) with you’re (meaning you are). Go look at all his social media, this is a constant. More proof he needs to probably spend more time reading or in remedial English class than online. No one posted fake court docs. This can be found online doing a simple search for his name and Arizona. We stumbled on this accidentally, but since he wants to claim fake, just call or check. It is all public record:

He even did a live feed.

Well, we told him to stay in his corner.... he doesn’t get it. So here’s proof. Many of the women whose screenshots were featured yesterday are willing to attest to the fact that these are real and they gave them to us. WE chose to blur out their names, they told us we don’t have to. But they did share. (From a woman he threatened to visit, you can see her screenshot in our last post - now that Dave will be calling her crazy and a liar, too. Seems everyone lies but him.):

Hashtags don’t scare us. He’s Dave, not Pennywise. Hell, he’s not even wise. What ever message he thinks he’s sending to one person is pathetic. As pathetic as you thinking someone is afraid of you. Too bad he doesn’t recognize UK date writing because 2-3-72 is March 2, 1972 in the US. The same birth date in the email addresses he has used to send threatening emails (we have those, too).

Fake? Prove it! He won’t because he can’t. State court documents? Not afraid. None of the 6 of us are afraid. We will post our stuff, we have no secrets. What’s he going to say?! We’re paying student loans and mortgages?! None of us has been in state court. But since you will be making those up, know that is against the law. And since we already contacted the legal counsel from Hachette books who assures us she never sent out those emails we posted, you may want to not do that. She informed us that is not their language and she doesn’t make typos or leave out words or use the wrong tense in any cease and desist notifications. 

Keep talking Dave, you are doing our job for us... you posted proof  in the comment above that you are a liar and the “fake” screenshots really are you. Now anyone can do a side-by-side comparison.  You all are already in serious trouble with CA, but you insist on making it not only worse for yourself, but for Mayte. If you love her and are TRULY a friend, you would stop making her look bad with your actions. No one “hates” on her without good reason. YOU give them a reason. As we said, no one was looking into her charity’s affairs until you started harassing and bullying people. No one cared. She’s being held for her actions because of your actions.

We don’t have to mock you, you’re making a mockery of yourself!

In Their Own Words: A Couple Unmasks The Truth Behind Mayte's Rescue

We are committed to giving a voice to all those who wish to share with our readers truthful experiences. Here is one such story told, in their own words:

What happens when you confront Mayte Garcia?

Like me, you're bullied, told you are never allowed to have any affiliation with her or the rescue ever again! You're promised reimbursement for transportation they were supposed to provide as a convenience, only when physical proof you have handed the dog over to a complete stranger.  You are spoken to, by her and her staff, rudely and so condescendingly, you feel like a child, yet your only problem is that a dog, you were not expected to be taking home, began destroying you space and property.  However, when you speak to staff about that issue, you are, in turn, told by her highly trained staff, to smack the dog very hard on the nose, since that is one of the most sensitive parts in their body, and that will get your point across!

Mayte does not make any attempt to communicate with you directly, only thru Josh or Drue. They are her minion messengers. When you have to drive 4 hours to pick up a foster, because unlike Mayte states, they do not provide transportation if they don't feel like it; only when and if convenient for them.  Yet, when get there, and Mayte herself is not there to greet you, of course, because she is too busy at home giving orders via cell phone to Josh, and find that you only have 3 dogs available to choose from because 4 of them are set to go to the adoption event and 4 to 5 others were supposedly taken to the vet. This leaves you with a dog that is food aggressive, one with mange, or one that Josh has had for several months.

When asked about others dogs, one in particular we had asked about before--- that had actually ended up being adopted then being returned within the same week because the adopters went out of the country, Josh had to call boss lady Mayte to ask permission about us taking that dog. I don't know what she actually said to him, but we were told some lame reason why we only had those 3 to choose from. After our 4 hour drive to retrieve a foster, because as Mayte did not provide the transportation she promised, we were rushed out of the haven house in under 30 minutes!!

When things went sour with the dog, that we had no choice in taking because after driving 4 hours, we were not going to leave without a dog, especially since we were set and ready to foster. We contacted Josh verbally via cellphone to explain issues going on with the dog. The dog had been chewing and destroying personal items in our home, chewing electrical cords, and digging almost 4 feet under our fence trying to get out. Josh seemed surprised stating that she had never done anything like that before and found it hard to believe! Yes, it is hard to believe that an 8 year old, well trained dog would destroy anything!? We were told he would talk to Mayte and get back to us. This is where her true colors came out like I stated in the beginning.

We were belittled and told we were banned forever to ever have anything to do with her, the dogs, and the rescue because we only had the "destructive" dog for a week!! Mind you, when you get a dog from her rescue, you do not sign any paperwork of any kind, no time frame on how long you are asked or expected to foster are discussed, no forms for reimbursement are given to you for money spent on the foster which, by law, if you are a legitimate registered animal rescue, that form is legally required to give to each person fostering. None of the "legal" protocol is done at all.  The dog we had didn't even have a licence or rabies tags on her collar, and we were not given her shot record, which made us nervous since we had three of our own dogs at home.

To summarize my horrible foster experience, Mayte will not reimburse you for any money spent for one of her dogs, they used the dog as ransom, stating until with physical proof of handing the dog over to a complete stranger, you in turn will get reimbursed, but only for an amount Mayte wants to give you. In our case, $70, not the $110 we had to spend on gas to get the dog (when she advertises that she provides transportation), then to drive 4 hours to return the dog back, because they were all unable and unwilling to come get "their" dog.

Oh, by the way, after a week of my husbands repeating attempts at trying to contact Josh about our reimbursement thru PayPal, we were never contacted back, and we never received reimbursement! So buyer beware. Do not do any business with Maytes’ Rescue. She will blow sunshine up your behind and act sweet in front of you, but when something doesn't go her way, watch out!! You will be spoken down to and banished and then they will retaliate against you and throw your name and other personal information all over social media, which by the way, falls under harassment!

Despite the unpleasantness of our experience with Mayte’s Rescue, nothing was ever said by me because I didn't want to blast it all over social media.  Since Mayte’s Rescue Vice President, Dave Buchansky, opened his mouth and spread inciteful posts that harass me and provide my contact information, I feel I am owed to speak about the truth now.  Anyone who wants to know the truth can check across FB and IG. They won't find anything negative we have said about them following our experience!

At thefunksoldiers.tumblr.com, we want to remind Dave that his stated position is Vice President of Mayte’s Rescue, it is on her filing paperwork. This means he is an officer of the organization and subject to the laws with regard to the CA Whistle Blower Act as it pertains to employees (Drue) and Volunteers (any person who fosters for the rescue).  Since Mayte’s Rescue is not a CA registered charity, she has no policies regarding whistle blower protection, therefore, the state law applies.  His online behavior in exposing this former foster’s personal information is intimidation and violates the statute.  He effectively broke the law...but keep talking. All he's doing is making it so her organization does not get its CA DOJ registration approved. Remember, they are watching you and all the other officers of Mayte’s Rescue, Dave.  If Mayte does not get her registration, she cannot raise money in CA, then what will you all do with the rescue?

Drue’s Drama II: The Truth Experience

Dave and LyNNette can’t seem to decide exactly where you draw the line at truth and defamation:

So, we are going to help them out. We were going to narrate the story and post all the screenshots, but it is best to just let the dialogue speak for itself.

NOTE: We would like to interrupt this Truth Experience to interject the law regarding how many pets a non-registered kennel, like Mayte’s Rescue, can have on site at a residence (notice 6 is nowhere on this list). But Mayte claims to NOT skirt the law:

We now return to the Truth Experience:

NOTE: We are omitting the next screenshot in the sequence where Drue provides the couple Josh’s phone number. Unlike Dave and others in Mayte’s realm, we would never expose anyone’s personal information that way. If Dave decides to lie about what this screenshot contains, we will post with the phone number blacked out. For now, we have taken the stance that contact information not made public is off limits per our own integrity as a group and as individuals. The screenshot with the address is allowed as Mayte refers to this as the “Haven” (definition: place of safety) and has told people they can visit; this information is on her Facebook account.

Rosie was fostered out to another family who also returned her within a week citing a move out of state, something that clearly they had to have known prior to taking her, but Mayte’s Rescue allowed it despite their claims of rigorously screening potential “furever homes.”

How dumb is Dave defending a man who is telling people not to talk to him as if Dave has no clout with Mayte or with the rescue? Then LyNNette chiming in like she’s a member of the Donner Party ready to feast upon the first soul he throws in her direction. Dave wants to talk about “the crazies coming out since Prince died,” when Mayte was the FIRST one! Strung out over a man who shipped her off to Spain nearly 20 years ago, filed for divorce and married another woman, divorced and dated a number of other people, never looking back in Mayte’s direction--- and he’s dead, she’s STILL strung out. Whatever he had with Bria Valente lasted longer than he wanted to be married to Mayte. Remember, he started talking divorce and annulments two years after the marriage (1998), to her surprise and without even discussing it with her privately first (as she wrote in her own book). So don’t call anyone not slobbering on Mayte’s cheek crazy, Dave. Crazy is her believing that BS a fired employee told her about Prince being in love with her until he died. He almost died a week before he actually did. You search her call list daily, Dave. Did he call her? No? He must have really been in love (yes, that’s sarcasm). Even Cuba called President Obama to let him know Fidel Castro was on his deathbed and U.S./Cuba relations have been frosty since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Crazy is still you, Dave, chasing after this woman who has never given you the hint of wanting to be with you romantically. Even the blind can see that’s all this is about for you: trying to win the girl of your dreams. Keep dreaming! What you need to do is worry about your girl over there sitting in the corner, rubbing her hands and licking her lips because you have once again seized upon the wrong thing. Watch! Here’s you moaning and groaning about someone saying something that hurt Mayte’s middle aged, grown woman feelings, meanwhile Kim is making comments of support under your post, but reading our links, downloading the paperwork to file registration in CA and NY on behalf of the rescue. She’s not just playing you, she’s outplaying you. Again, you are in the front yard watching this while the devil is sneaking in your backdoor. You have known Mayte 20+ years. By now you should know if you aren’t bringing her the bank, you are useless and can be replaced. 

So, step it up big boy, do your JOB before Kim does it for you. We were going to lay off of you because you were so quiet and seemed to have found some semblance of behavior. We even did you a favor. But, no more. We are #DroppingJewelsInJuly and there is so much more to come. We see you, we know you and we are not afraid of you. You talk too much, Dave, to anyone who will listen and that is why we have every vile thing you have said on social media in the last 15 months screenshot and locked away.  You acted like a jerk to enough people who want to see you buried and then turned around and lied about them while trying to get other gullible souls who just wanted to appreciate Mayte to spread the lie.  You used them to build you up because after years of having Mayte belly dance around your heart, your self-esteem is in the gutter and the only recognition you get in life is through your connection to her. That’s the most pitiful place for a 45 year old man to be. 

We would “feel for you,” except everything you post has been a lie. The truth can stand on it’s own. People don’t constantly have to defend themselves against the truth. You are forever in defense mode, and we know it. So you, know this now: we will challenge you at every turn. Every lie you tell, we have proof it is a lie. We’ve been fairly conservative in what we post in terms of screenshots, but we are discussing the possibility of letting them all out. People have consistently shared with us interactions they have had and continue to have with you. We always advise anyone dealing with you to take screenshots before you delete it or record any phone exchanges and we have them. They have long since given us permission to expose you and the other frauds in your circle. Early on, we erred on the side of caution, but we have our own army now, so there’s no reason to protect anyone; they are emboldened, empowered, and ready to be heard. They found their voices and we are going to provide this forum for them to speak.

As general information, it should be said that we take pride in getting our information from as many first-hand sources as is possible. How do you know Drue was not the source?! Do you think he would admit to your face he implied to a potential foster that you were a big, fat bowl of nothing soup with a biscuit (Spider Toes LyNNette) and bag of chips (Krazy Kim) on the side? Makes you wonder, doesn’t it? Let us clarify that our Tumblr is public and we stand by everything we post here as the truth and we verify and PROTECT all of our sources. We only post what we post with the explicitly stated permission of each source.  If it appears elsewhere, we can do little to curb that as anyone can download things from this site, however, we do not believe it is always done in malice. 

That said it is shameful the way certain people would seize on someone who wanted to do nothing more than to help an animal in a home where many other animals are loved and cared for. We published this, so come after us, but step lightly because we have so much more on tap in terms of resources, as stated earlier. What you are doing to these people constitutes bullying and after our July 3rd post about Spider Toes and Mayte’s people and their anti-bullying bull, we can do nothing but expose your hypocrisy.  Don’t you ever dare say again you or Mayte are being bullied when it is clear that you are the bully here, even lying that this person said she would take the dog to the pound. The screenshot doesn’t lie (re: “I am not home”), but you do! 

Although it is getting exhausting having to repeat ourselves, here, we feel we must: NO ONE IS REQUIRED TO LIKE MAYTE! This is not the United States of Mayte Garcia. Dave, LyNNette and Kim are not the Founding Fools. The first amendment does not say: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances,” unless you are discussing Mayte Garcia.

There is a difference between exposing the truth (”that which is true or in accordance with fact or reality”) and bullying (”use of superior strength or influence to intimidate [someone], typically to force him or her to do what one wants”). LEARN IT!

ADDENDUM:

Proof is the best way we know to out Dave’s stupidity! He must think we are all talk and no action here. Dave tried to make it seem like the woman in the texts with Drue is the one who threatened to put the dog in the pound. Look at his first post, that’s what he says, but if you read the actual screenshot that HE posted, it was her husband telling Drue this after several discussions of how to handle having their home and belongings destroyed. It was discussed, as you see, that they (Mayte’s Rescue staff) would arrange to pick the dog up, but continued to flail on their responsibility, leaving this couple with few options, despite growing attached to her (we have the pics of them bonding with their foster, the ones sent to Drue). Here’s the actual screenshot that Dave attempted to blame someone else for. No one is hiding anything and no one has to lie. Mayte, Dave just gets you in more hot water with his lies. He’s being exposed.  Seems you need to have another sit down and tell him “NEVER AGAIN”, can this type of thing happen. Smooches, Dave, and oh, #StayMad.

See how easily Dave lies?
