Multi-media producer and content Hollywood companies Diversity News Magazine, Diversity News Publications and Journalist Steven Escobar Joint Statement on Harassments and Reporting Practices.
Hollywood, CA — Wednesday, February 27, 2013, Diversity News Publications publisher of Diversity News Magazine managed by Steven Escobar has made a joint statement to tell all of our readers, fans, friends and supporters of recent harassment issues concerning our reporting practices.
A small group of people have proclaimed that they do not want anything negative written or reported to the masses about their fraudulent business affairs and questionable charitable events.
As we have stated in the past-although we did cover some of those events-upon further investigation, found them to not be forthright and honest establishments. Because of our responsibility and obligation to every single consumer, we decided to publish our investigative reports in our magazine, Diversity News Magazine. Diversity News Magazine believes in honest and accurate investigative reporting. We believe that you, the consumer deserve to be informed of such establishments and individuals. It is your right to know the truth, and our right to report it.
Unfortunately, a few individuals have taken it upon themselves to create drama and gossip. They have contacted our past and current friends and partners. Diversity News Magazine, Diversity News Publications nor Steven Escobar have lied to any of our allies/partners. Whatever we have promised, we have delivered.
We strongly believe in being real and fair to every one we encounter. There is no hidden agenda from us and we feel no obligation to stop reporting the facts-the truth. We do, however, feel an obligation to continue servicing our worldwide, diverse community by accurately investigating and reporting fraudulent individuals and organizations that take advantage of we, the people. Because of numerous calls, letters and emails from concerned individuals/readers, we decided to investigate and report our findings of such establishments in question. Diversity News Magazine is built on and run by volunteers. There is no paid staff. We are reporting the news and our findings. This is not a personal issue. We are not a strictly entertainment magazine publishing and doing free PR for individuals with hidden agendas.
In light of recent events, Steven Escobar is making a new promise. He states that, “We are not going to care anymore or get involved if someone takes advantage of their friends, partners or organizations. We will not entertain any personal drama in our proprietary outlets.”
Steven Escobar has been the messenger and bearer of honest investigative reporting and in no way should be under fire, due to lack of integrity and dishonest dealings of other individuals or their illegal practices. Steven Escobar reports what he observes and his investigative findings. He added, “People should not take this personally. I am doing my job by reporting the truth for my readers. I have never intended to hurt anyone in this process, but the truth is, authenticity must be reported. My job is to educate and alert our consumers/readers so they can make accurate decisions for themselves.”
He went on to say, “I am being harassed by a job I am not even getting paid a salary for! Diversity News Magazine is a labor of love for the community. Our writers and photographers are freelance volunteers/consultants; they are not employees of Diversity News Magazine or Diversity News Publications. We are an independent media outlet and our team does not get any paychecks, health benefits or holiday pay.” He continued, “Our outlet helps people. We have been targeted and victimized by honest news reporting.”
Diversity News Magazine and Diversity News Publications have affiliate partnerships relationship for media content and distribution with the following media, news and entertainment leader companies such as MediaMax Online via EPK TV, PartyBy5.com, The Miss Universe Organization, ABC Television Network, CBS Television, NBC Universal, Inc via NBC Universal Media Village, Fox Broadcasting Company via Fox Flash, Summit Entertainment, Lions Gate Entertainment, Conscience Entertainment, Tehran International Weekly Magazine, Studio One via Men’s Life Today, Repost.Us, Film District Publicity, Grab Media formerly the Voxant Newsroom and many more.
Additionally Diversity News Magazine and Diversity News Publications are working with some of the finest advertising organizations in the world such as Google Ad Sense, Google Affiliate Network, Rakuten LinkShare Corporation, Chitika, Inc., Share A Sale, media.net, Blip TV, YouTube, MGM Resorts International, Advertising.com (part of AOL Advertising.com Group), Amazon, Career Builder, Lijit Networks Inc.,and many more.
He concluded, “If the defamation of character, threats, questions of credibility and mud-slinging toward us continue, then we will have no choice but to report everything and turn in, including all of our evidence and investigative findings to the local, state, federal, national and international government authorities to take appropriate actions. We will file and turn it all over and allow the appropriate government authorities to deal with the people who are harassing and trying to intimidate us, all because they do not understand the meaning of what reporting the news actually means.”

Five and More Holiday Scams to Avoid and Non Legit Charities
December 5, 2012 by News Staff
Filed under BBB Consumer News, Consumer News, Featured, Laws, News, US News, World News, Your Money
With the holiday season upon us it isn’t just retailers looking to turn a profit. Scammers exploit the spirit of the holidays to help separate victims from their money. Many of these scams are used throughout the year but are given a new twist for the holidays.
- Bait-and-Switch – Scammers frequently use cheap tablets, smart phones, MP3 players, jewelry and gift cards as part of bait-and-switch scams. They may approach potential victims in a mall, on the street or through the Internet offering a deal that is too good to be true. They may even allow the victim to check out the item, but rest assured, after the money is exchanged the victim will not get the item they are expecting. Only purchase big-ticket items from respected retailers and avoid this common holiday scam.
- Hard Luck Stories – Scammers often take advantage of the holiday spirit of giving. They may send victims an email requesting assistance or approach victims in public. Scammers will often have an elaborate hard luck story and sometimes even use children to elicit sympathy from victims. Some scammers may also pose as stranded holiday travelers in need of assistance to get home for the holidays. Be wary of these scams and never give out your address, bank information or large amounts of cash to strangers.
- Charity Scams – Fake charity scams also take advantage of the spirit of giving. Beware of scam charity emails. Research a charity before making a donation and make sure they are legitimate. You should never make large donations in cash and always ask for a receipt when making a large donation.
- Gift Card Swap – The rise in popularity of gift cards has led to a new type of scam. Scammers will use high tech scanners to read the numbers off of the gift cards sold in the aisles of major retailers. They will then return the cards to the store shelf and monitor them to see when they are activated. Once activated, they will use the card numbers to spend the funds before the intended recipient has a chance to use the card. Whenever possible purchase your card from behind the counter of a retailer.
- Email Greetings – Holiday emails can sometimes be a Trojan horse for hackers. Do not open attachments from senders you do not know and be wary of strangely worded emails. Make sure your computer’s antivirus software is up to date and use it to scan anything suspicious

BBB’s Top 5 Holiday Scams To Avoid
Scammers Capitalize On Distraction Of Busy Shoppers
Holidays can be hectic, and scammers are counting on harried consumers letting down their guard, whether shopping on line, juggling packages at the mall or simply reading their e-mail.
The BBB has identified five common scams that consumers should watch out for and avoid as they shop, whether online or in stores.
Online shopping scams: We’re all looking for a great deal online, but some sites offer electronics or luxury goods at prices that are too good to be true. Every holiday season, the BBB hears from holiday shoppers who paid for a “great deal” online, but received nothing in return.
Nabbing the season’s hottest toys and gadgets online: When stores sell out, you may find the items online at sites like Craigslist or eBay— but for a much steeper price. The problem is that some sellers will take your money and run.
BBB Advice: Shop locally on Craigslist and conduct transactions in person. Bring along a friend if you’re uncomfortable meeting the seller alone. Never wire money as payment. If you’re shopping on auctions like eBay, research sellers extensively and listen to your doubts if the deal sounds fishy or too good to be true.
Identity theft at the mall: While you’re struggling at the mall with bags of presents, identity thieves may see an opportunity to steal your wallet or your debit or credit card numbers,
Bogus charitable pleas: The holidays are a time of giving, and that creates an opportunity for scammers to solicit donations to line their own pockets. Beware of solicitations from charities that don’t necessarily deliver on their promises or are ill-equipped to carry through on their plans. Resist demands for on-the-spot donations.
BBB Advice: Always research charities with the BBB before you give to see if the charity meets the BBB’s 20 Standards for Charity Accountability. Up-to-date reports on local and national charities are available at www.bbb.org/charity.
Phishing e-mails: Phishing e-mails are a common way for hackers to get at your personal information or break into your computer. Around the holidays, beware of e-cards and messages pretending to be from companies like UPS or Fedex with links to package tracking information.

IMPORTANT EDUCATION AND KEY INFORMATION:
The California Attorney General has primary responsibility for regulating, enforcing and supervising organizations and individuals that administer and/or solicit charitable funds or assets in California. The Attorney General has the duty to protect donors to charity, charities themselves and the beneficiaries of charities. In addition, the Attorney General has broad authority under State statutes to regulate charitable organizations and trusts and to commence law enforcement investigations and legal actions to protect the public interest.
OWNERSHIP:
A nonprofit organization, in a sense, is “owned” by the public. No private person can claim ownership or control of the organization. The assets of a nonprofit organization are irrevocably dedicated to charitable, educational, literary, scientific, or religious purposes. That means the nonprofit’s cash, equipment, and other property cannot be given to anyone or used for anyone’s private benefit without fair market compensation to the organization. Moreover, a nonprofit’s property is permanently to be used for exempt purposes. When and if the organization decides to dissolve, any assets remaining after the debts and liabilities are paid must go to another nonprofit organization—not to members of the former organization or other private individuals.
Some Basic Steps For Incorporation Of A Public Benefit Corporation:
Choose a corporate name, Draft and file articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State, File federal application for employer identification number (EIN) with the IRS, File a statement by domestic nonprofit corporation, Register with the Attorney General’s Registry of Charitable Trust & File application for exemption from federal income taxes with the IRS and state income taxes with the California Franchise Tax Board.
What Is 501(c)(3) Status?
A section 501(c)(3) organization must be “organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary or educational purposes.” To qualify, an organization must satisfy an organizational test and an operational test. The organizational test is met if the articles of incorporation include language limiting the purposes of the organization to one or more of the exempt purposes set forth in section 501(c)(3) and do not empower the organization to engage in any substantial activities which do not further one or more exempt purposes. In addition,the organizational documents (or applicable state law) must require the organization to expressly dedicate its assets to exempt purposes in the event of a dissolution.
Fundraising campaign in California?
Prior to soliciting any charitable donations, a commercial fundraiser must register with the Registry of Charitable Trusts on a form provided by the Attorney General, pay a fee of $350, and obtain a $25,000 bond. The commercial fundraiser must renew that registration and bond annually and pay a fee of $350. A commercial fundraiser must also file an annual financial report with the Attorney General accounting for funds collected during the preceding year.Registration or licensing may also be required in various California cities and counties. There are more than 200 cities and counties that require charity fundraisers to comply with local licensing and disclosure requirements.
Solicitations Law: BUSINESS LICENSE COMMISSION
(Los Angeles County Code, Volume 3, Title 7, Chapter 7-24 requires that this Notice of Intention to be filed at least 30 days prior to beginning your solicitation or advertisement for your fund-raising activity. No advertisement or solicitation may begin until this office has issued an Information Card.
Solicitations Information Card:
An Information Card is issued by the Los Angeles Police Commission Charitable Services Section, Commission Investigation Division upon review of the Notice of Intention[PDF] to solicit charitable contributions by a requesting charitable organization. The Information Card provides important information to the donor so they may make an educated decision whether to support that organization.

Self-promoter David Harrison Levi and Followers Apparently Escorted Out by Security in Hollywood
June 30, 2011 by Esteban Escobar
Filed under Breaking News, Charity, Community News, Events, Featured, FEATURES, Scammers
Truth or “Con”-sequences? A witness reports that self-promoter David Harrison Levi and his followers were apparently escorted out of Café Entourage by security in Hollywood.
After others and ourselves have been fooled a couple of times, we started to investigate some of the promotions and actions of Levi and noticed numerous possible misrepresentations of the truth, some people might call that lies or maybe even “conning”? It is time to speak up.
Sometimes enough is enough. But let’s take a look, judge for yourselves. We’ve been watching for some time now the shenanigans of David Harrison Levi, self proclaimed promoter, Starmaker, Breast Cancer Awareness man, flag waver and fighter for the downtrodden, as well as “award winning”, “I got a certificate” cause sufferer of the dying and recently dead, if you can believe that!? And let’s not forget, self-professed, lifelong, dearly devoted, friend to such people as Elizabeth Taylor, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr, just to name a few. By the way until we see actual proof of each claimed “lifelong” mutual friend relationship that he publicly claims he’s a part of (uhhhh, casual encounters, a one-time event, arranging or jumping into a photo at an event, or Photoshopped photos don’t count as proof)
And some of his representations of a recent event he tried to hold a few nights ago just scratches the surface of what appears to be a small example of his constant and numerous misrepresentations of the truth over a year or more. Some people might call these out-right lies, fantasies, and / or cons. You be the judge.
On Sunday, June 26, 2011 at 7:00 pm Cafe Entourage Security in Hollywood seemed to escort out David Harrison Levi with his “followers” and not allow them in at that time or the event to occur as publically represented and promoted by Levi. Don’t believe me check the fact that all the photos and video interviews we saw posted on Facebook, occurred outside while people milled around unable to enter. Even in one of the videos of Levi himself, speaks of how they were going to now suddenly move the event and names numerous unplanned and uninformed possible locations.
Evidence so far from videos and photos seems to document that not only were they kicked out of the restaurant at the start of this supposed “planned and promoted” Levi event, for the 2011 BET Awards & Michael Jackson Memorial for Breast Cancer Awareness. Levi apparently never properly planned or informed the restaurant of his event at all along the lines of what was promoted to the public, fashion designers, musicians, news media and guests. And by the way Mr. Levi do you have written proof of even getting proper credentials and permission to use the BET Awards or Michael Jackson name?
This paper would be very happy if you could actually produce this proper documentation. We took a brief video where actors, models, make-up artists from The Sidney Collection, including photographers were hanging around the parking lot and getting ready to leave because there was no event to enter at that time. Our video was taken around 7:30 pm after our media crew was in front of Cafe Entourage.
It has been reported that we have been picking on him – We are not. We just want to get to the truth. And if it is the case that Levi exaggerates, and / or misrepresents what happening or did happen at his events then the public should be informed of the truth and may need protection from this guy Levi.
So we’re willing to ask; Who was there and what do you know? We want to hear from you. Don’t tell us what David told you or what you heard happened or are his intended motives, tell us what you saw. Tell us what happened to you. Did you get in on time? Were you prevented from going in? Was there a red carpet inside? Did the promised fashion and musical show occur? How many people did you actually see? Do you ever feel he has misrepresented the numbers attending, the type of “celebrities” attending, etc?
After watching all the videos posted so far we noticed all were taken outside, none inside Café Entourage. None showed anywhere near 500 people, in fact most showed about 50 people, even in one video did a 360 degree view of the people outside.
We have not seen any photographic or video proof so far of an indoor event, only Levi expounding how we can move the event right now to all these named and unplanned locations.
There are no videos or pictures that show the fashion show happened
There are no videos or pictures that show the musicians ever played
There are no videos or pictures of any red carpet occurring
As we stated all videos were outside of Café Entourage show perhaps about 25 – 40 people milling around on public streets and so far there are no photographs posted documenting over 500 of his friends attended.
Prove us wrong with documentation, if you can.
David Levi reported on Facebook, quote “Here are video behind the scene photos & videos of our Michael Jackson Memorial for Breast Cancer Awareness NOW on my Facebook pages from Lisa Lewolt &Hollywood BrokerTV Thank You to all my 500 + beautiful friends who came out last night to support our Michael Jackson Memorial and Breast Cancer Awareness Extravaganza in Hollywood!”
And by the way the last time I looked up the word “Extravaganza” in the dictionary it didn’t describe a few dozen people milling around outside on a city sidewalk in front of a restaurant that would let you in.
In a video posted by Lisa Lewolt labeled “Behind the scenes with Chris Tru 2011 BET Awards Michael Jackson Memorial for Breast Cancer Awareness David Harrison Levi – she states into the microphone “We’re still out here on Hollywood Blvd still waiting to get in”
In the 131 photos I reviewed taken by photographer Guillermo Proano posted on Facebook labeled Breast Cancer Awareness 6-26-11 All are outside the restaurant, the most people seen in any one picture is about 23. Where are the 500 + people so profusely and often professed by Levi as being there?
https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.245007198848579.79121.100000179034506
all his “500 + beautiful friends who came out last night to supportour Michael Jackson Memorial and Breast Cancer Awareness Extravaganza in Hollywood!” as quoted from David Levi’s Facebook post?
To possibly cover up David Harrison Levi wrote this on his Facebook:
“David Harrison Levi June 27 at 3:01am Reply • Report
Thank You to all my beautiful friends who came out to support our Michael Jackson Memorial and Breast Cancer Awareness Extravaganza in Hollywood tonight! I feel so very blessed! Peace – Love David Harrison Levi – STARMAKER (about an hour ago via BlackBerry)
Before the event this is what Mr. Harrison posted on Facebook:
“My lifetime friend and brother Michael Jackson was taken from us June25, 2009. Join Us Sunday June 26th 7pm as we remember MJ at our exclusive redcarpet BET Awards fashion & music after party from Hollywood’s newest hotspot Cafe Entourage – Hollywood, CA — DJ EZ Earl & DJ JMotion with specialguests performing LIVE Smitty – Kate Campbell – Erin Lee – Goward – Lisa Lewolt- Johnny Ferretti – Kaitlyn Le – Liv – Brenton Tyler Hoffmann aka Sleight ofRhyme – David Harrison Levi – STARMAKER☆ for Breast Cancer Awareness ~ No Cover ~ No Minimum— Summer Kickoff 2011 annual red carpet after party BET Awards ☆ Breast Cancer Awareness David HarrisonLevi – STARMAKER☆ ~ Sunday, June 26,2011 ~ at Hollywood’s newest hot spot Cafe Entourage & Lounge 1600 VineStreet in Hollywood, CA – Summer is Here so its time to kick off Summer Nightswith a Fashion & Music Entertainment Networking party! Our World Famous RedCarpet Events Always bring out a BIG Crowd so Arrive Early to Avoid the Lines!RSVP NOW.”
Event Link: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=201885006523423
Another source reported and posted on Facebook “I showed up to Cafe Entourage in Hollywood last night with my boy J-son & got word that all performances of the night were cancelled due to a private party upstairs Say WTF! I am so sorry for all the performers including myself that busted their asses rehearsing to not be able to perform on one of the biggest Music award nights of the year! Thanks to everyone that came out & showed there support.” – As posted on Facebook by Sleight of Rhyme, BrentonTyler Hoffmann, attendee.
He was told by Mr. Levi that it was canceled. However a higher informed source we talked to from the restaurant wrote us in response to our inquiry: “We are not affiliated with David Harrison Levi nor any of his organizations. He and his followers showed up to our venue and we did our best to accommodate them however, we had no prior arrangement to host their Event.”
Now David if you want to hold an event. Good for you. People should enjoy themselves. However be truthful before and after, otherwise that seems to be perpetrating false and misleading public actions. And another thing about promoting and event and your public representations, if you claim to be a beloved lifelong friend to someone, alive or dead – perhaps they should at least know you, like lifelong friends truly do. And if you are claiming to bring awareness to a cause that others suffer from don’t leave your actions open to be interpreted as a shameless promoter and that benefits from the suffering of others. Give back. Actually help, O.K.? Simply indicating, Hey folks there’s breast cancer out there. I just made you aware. See what a humanitarian I am? That really doesn’t cut it no matter how many certificates you pose with.
Here’s a hint…We know there’s cancer! And so do the millions upon millions of people who have tragically lost someone to this disease. We are all aware it exists! We can watch TV and in case we forget you know momentarily not aware it exists, we can sadly look at all the pictures of the family and friends we’ve lost to it. Try this instead David…Contribute selfless dedication of your time and your money to finding the cure – Are you getting a percentage of the bar? Are you collecting money from the bars’ and maybe favors and gifts from sponsors, clothes, food, etc as the promoter and none or very little going to really helping wipe out breast cancer or helping charities? We hope you’re not just collecting the money and gifts for yourself from your promotional events you’ve thought up to enhance your life while others truly suffer.
Cruel questions or reasonable ones? David, show us and the Internal Revenue Service all the receipts of what you’ve earned on your events. You’ve shown us photos of you and all your certificates for helping people. Now show us all the checks you’ve written to all the different cancer agencies to actually help find a cure for cancer? Here’s an example, catch a clue; Bill Gates, he’s personally given / paid over a Billion dollars to wipe out polio.
Try speaking the truth and not the con. And please, David you’ve proven to be clever and resourceful don’t plead innocence or weep over this article or play the helpless, misunderstood victim, unless of course you need another reason for you to put on an event held in your honor.
We are too aware of those people with their hopes and dreams, Mr. Starmaker that are poor starving actors, singers, makeup artists and fashion designers that traveled from far away to come to your event and only to be escorted out because you did not have proper control or arrangements for your event at the restaurant. We are not sure why these people continue following a person who according to our research of public records, does not have a business registered in the City of Beverly Hills, or Los Angeles nor a promoter’s permit.
Also as of the date of this article we can tell you that we have checked some sources at other charities and it seems that all that was promoted to benefit others may not have actually happened the way it was represented, but that’s another investigation and article. Care to give an accurate counting of monies, food and gifts received compared to given to the intended charities? We recommend the public should always keep their eyes for the supported truth, question the hype, act on the facts and not the con.
UPDATE: July 1, 2011:
David – We noticed that you took down all videos and photographs from 2 of your websites about your failed event at Cafe’ Entourage. What’s with that? To the best of my knowledge you’ve never done before? We guess you’re starting to hide from the truth. Everything we said was truthful because you apparently had the time to remove the damaging evidence, but not the time to deny or prove any of the questions we asked you?
