@uwelang, @jumowa, @guiltyparties Just to notify you that I have received a clearance message as being legitimate from @steemcleaners on our Papillon Facebook page this morning. Thank you messrs. @uwelang and @jumowa for your kind response to this unsavory matter! The question remains; "What can anyone stand to gain by reporting an innocent charity"?, or it's founder? Since we started The Papillon Foundation in 2002, people took note of our stunning successes in empowering the poor and many have tried to shoot us down. In fact a person came to our gate when we started and he swore at me and told me that we will close our doors within 3 months! It's now almost 18 years that Papillon has kept going and our tiny salaries and sacrifices for the benefit of the downtrodden continues to antagonize many disturbed souls, not even to mention the competition. It seems that the jealousy now also continues globally, even on steemit. I was about to rally the entire #tsufamily on steemit to verify our existence, as I am sure that there are many of Papillon's ex 5000 followers from ex Tsu that are now on steemit, but it's not necessary as we have been cleared! To those beings that reported us, we hold no grudges, we forgive you and we pray for you. Stephen Smith of The Papillon Foundation. A Bona-Fide Non Profit that is awarded and verified as a "Top Rated NonProfit" by Great NonProfits.com in the USA

Maybe they were worried you were a scam. It happens. I remember there were two or three charities on tsu that I found shady. One was under FBI investigation because they bought themselves houses with charity money, another charity was spending donations on parties, events and ads instead of helping others.
Hope you finally get more exposure and support here now that you are verified
Thank you gentlemen @uwelang and @jumowa . @guiltyparties I also hold nothing against you guys as it came as a bit of a shock that anyone would report us and you were only doing your job! Again I say that we have no hard feelings! Does steemit or @steemcleaners have "verified" badges that I can stick on our site? Blessings to all.
We're at a point where everyone suspects everyone because of the insane number of ID thieves on the platform. Half the Cheetah bans I do are ID thieves. I don't want to say that it reached epidemic levels but it's gotten to a point where unless the user is verified, no matter who they are, people aren't trusting him/her.
Sounds frustrating, thank you for your work.
Yeah I know @papilloncharity - I was talking to @guiltyparties about that issue. He works for Steemcleaners and it is their job to follow if anyone reports anything (no matter if true) to protect the platform. As long as we can solve it fine, in your case no idea who reports you but idiots and greedy people are everywhere.
