A Perry private investigator says he’s come across a Will that’s earmarked $100,000 for the Salvation Army. But the Salvation Army won’t accept the money.
“I think it’s ludicrous that any office, any non-for-profit should not want to participate or have gratitude that someone would bring them a large sum of money that would cost them ten percent,” says James Armstrong.

James Armstrong is a licensed private investigator. For the last fourteen years, Armstrong has worked cases across the globe, trying to obtain unclaimed assets and return them to their owners…at a fee.
In October, Armstrong says he located a Will, earmarking $100,000 to the Salvation Army.
Armstrong says he tried to give the money to the Salvation Army. But the Salvation Army wouldn’t accept it. The reason why? The Salvation Army is a member of the Association of Fundraising Professionals. And AFP members are not allowed to accept donations with fees attached to them, like the ten percent finders fee Armstrong is requesting.
Armstrong says the finders fees…in this case, $10,000….helps cover some of the costs he endures for locating those assets. But he says the real beneficiary of the money would be the people the Salvation Army is trying to help.
“It would pay for a lot of heat, blankets, beds rent maybe, possibly, buy a lot of food that’s going to waste because of a policy.”
The Salvation Army doesn’t know who’s donating the money…just that Armstrong says he could help them get it.
