James Fortune Scandal Singer Sued & Charges continue with scamming Gospel Fans in Augusta, Georgia: Harden says Beulah Grove is paying all the expenses so the public can see the artist for FREE. Gospel star Hezekiah Walker will also perform during next Thursday's concert, along with guest appearance by Rev. Dr. Franklyn V. Beckles, Jr. Vicki Winans was scheduled for the performance in June. Winans tells News Channel Six that she is performing at another event and will NOT be at the concert in Augusta next week.- Who can blame her! Scams like these has been happening in Augusta for years (IT'S A LOUSY & RACIST CITY- JUST LIKE AIKEN COUNTY), while City Leaders & Corrupt Officials (people like Frank Roberson, Kimberly Davis & Richard Roundtree) walk away with the money, and whenever true heroes like; Pastor Dr. Frank Beckles uncovers them, they use the Media to slander them, spreading lies to cover up their own scandals! The people in Augusta, deserved to get ripped off, because they should've came out in support of Civil Rights Activists protesting against Injustice in Augusta's schools- and make a change for the better by firing Superintendent Frank Roberson, when they had the chance! Instead most Augusta citizens & parents stayed home, stayed silent, while corrupt school principals & administrators got away (& continue to) get away with mistreating children! A local church is helping national the dishonest gospel artist ... explains Sam Davis of Beulah Grove Baptist Church. ... and will NOT be at the concert in Augusta ...www.wjbf.com/story/23139626/gospel-concert-set-after...Harden says Beulah Grove is paying for constant Scams like these that has been happening in Augusta for years (IT'S A LOUSY & RACIST CITY- JUST LIKE AIKEN COUNTY), while City Leaders & Corrupt Officials (people like Frank Roberson, Kimberly Davis & Richard Roundtree) walk away with the money, and whenever true heroes like; Pastor Dr. Frank Beckles uncovers them, they use the Media to slander them, spreading lies to cover up their own scandals!

Instead most Augusta citizens & parents stayed home, stayed silent, while corrupt school principals & administrators got away (& continue to) get away with mistreating children! A local church is helping national the dishonest gospel artist (James Fortune), inspite of mounting evidence against him & his wife for mistreating their stepson! ... explains Sam Davis of Beulah Grove Baptist Church. Making money is more important to churches & ministers like the ones at Beulah Grove Baptist Church or Broadway Baptist Church, than true ministers of God (Dr. Frank Beckles), who continue to try making a real positive difference in African-American communities, despite evil people who constantly try to hold him back! People need to understand that wealth, fame & power -doesn't define who you really are, or that you are a good person... NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER!

Gospel Concert Promoter in Augusta Georgia Ran Away With an Estimated 15K – Update Vickie Winans was in Augusta (she was scammed too) -I still think it was a "inside' job! Why isn't corrupt Augusta Sheriff Richard Roundtree catching this crook, yet the idiots working at Beulah Grove Baptist Church Honored him? The Promoter was Sharif King, a friend of Corrupt Richmond County Superintendent; Frank Roberson...
Sharif King’s information: A KNOWN FELON & CON ARTIST! He was just released from federal prison on December 10, 2012. And this is the guy, many churches; like: Beulah Grove Baptist Church hired to promote their Gospel Concerts? Shows how stupid and ignorant so many people in America or in The South are; especially people who call themselves "Christians"!
Update June 28th: Vickie Winans took to twitter… Check Vickie Winans out on twitter @vickiewinans to see it for yourself.

For those of you who were at the Augusta show last night awaiting myself, James Fortune and Tamela Mann let me tell u! I flew in only to find out that the supposed Promoter Shariff King was running a scam! I sat dressed in my hotel room for 3 hours all while he skipped town! I was looking so forward to ministering in Augusta last night as I do in every city I go to! I was suspicious of Mr. King but I thought since so many crooked scammers were going to jail lately, surely he wouldn’t try that! I have reached out to the Augusta radio station and I will be trying to get on air tort the ppl of Augusta know that a man who says he’s from NY came to their town and put on a bogus show! I understand I am the only that actually came to Augusta and sat in my hotel room fully dressed! Smh! Unreal and a shame! God sees all! I’m on the plane on my way to Sacremento for my show tonight! Augusta we will get to the bottom of this! The Artists on the flyer that he put together was a scam from the start! I love you!

On June 27th 2013, The James Fortune and Friends was supposed to come to Tabernacle Baptist Church. The concert was supposed to include Tamela Mann and Vickie Winans. The people gathered and patiently waited for the acts and none of them showed up. The local acts were present but no James Fortune, Vickie Winans and no Tamela Mann.

James Fortune Tweeted the following during the time he was supposed to be performing:
Winans and James Fortune were coming based on the tweets from their verified accounts.

The promoter was called up for remarks after the first local artist finished, but he did not come forward. A few more artists sang but when dead space needed to be filled, the MC called upon the Pastor of the church- Pastor Charles Goodwin.

Beware of this promoter of gospel concerts, any concerts… Janky.. skipped town with people’s money on June 27th

Update July 1st.. Video of Sharif King taking money and walking out with the money in a bag released from Tabernacle Baptist Church. Check it out:

Update June 30th: Pictures are worth a thousand words so check this one out of Sharif King’s information on Federal Prison Bureau. He was just released from prison on December 10, 2012.

Update June 30th: King and Dower Claim that the event was no longer a Dower live event as of Thursday June 26th. Check screen shots of this email out that we received from Dower Live on June 27th (the day of the show) and you make a decision on who is telling the truth. After this screenshot was published on Twitter, Dower Records deleted all communication that had taken place between Vickie Winans and their accounts. Tabernacle is not to blame for this concert. They were simply a venue and you can see this below. Please notice the date and time stamp on this email. It was the day of the concert..

Dower Live Email Pt 1

Dower Live Email Part 2

This email is signed by Dower Records personnel. Check out the story from the Augusta Chronicle and WJBF from the promoter.

Statement from James Fortune:

We were informed by Shariff King on wednesday evening that the concert
was going to be postponed until a later date only to find out later on
twitter that people were waiting at the concert for our performance and
were not told that the concert was postponed at all. We are extremely
sorry and we look forward to coming to Augusta very soon for a free
concert.

Vickie Winans tweeted the following earlier that day:

The people had no reason to think that the concert would not happen. At least Vickie Winans and James Fortune were coming based on the tweets from their verified accounts.

The promoter was called up for remarks after the first local artist finished, but he did not come forward. A few more artists sang but when dead space needed to be filled, the MC called upon the Pastor of the church- Pastor Charles Goodwin. He said a mouthful and stressed that it wasn’t a Tabernacle Baptist Church event supporting the email information above: Check out this clip of his remarks

The promoter- SHARIF KING, skipped town with all of the money that he personally collected at the door . The estimated amount he collected was 15, 000. The church was almost to its 2000 seat capacity. King allegedly charged some people an additional $40 (on top of the $20 that they already paid) to sit in VIP with promises of a meet and greet with the national artists at a Christian club, Provisions Christian Lounge.

The announcements of a concert began around May 19th at the MayFest, an outdoor festival in Augusta Georgia. The announcements were made several times by Morgan Dukes and Jubba, the gospel stage hosts. There was to be a concert, James Fortune and Friends, that included Tamela Mann and Vickie Winans on the ticket. The show was to be held at the Bell Auditorium. People were excited. Emails and press releases were received by this publication. We put up an announcement with the show’s line up, dates, and number to call Georgia-Lina Tickets to purchase the seat. Tickets were $37 for the Bell Auditorium.

The promoter opened up a facebook page under the name of Shariff King and began ranting things about the concert. He purchased radio air time at several stations and commercial time to promote the concert. He even made TV appearances in the city. WJBF News 6 in Augusta, stated that events like this are unfortunate, but it serves the Augusta/Richmond County community right, for NOT adequately supporting Bishop Dr. Franklyn Victor Beckles, Jr., Pastor of The Sons For Christ Church of God, who fought for the civil rights of abused children in Richmond County Public Schools & exposed corruption and injustice by it's dishonest leaders; like: Frank Roberson, Kimberly Davis, Missoura Ashe, and Tim Spivey.
Instead a majority of Augusta citizens & parents remained silent, and rather show out in support for a Gospel Concert "Circus" headed by James Fortune (an child abuser), rather than support a "true' man of God & a Civil Rights Hero, who stood up for his Son, risked his life to protect other defenseless kids, suffered defamation from RACIST LIARS OR DISHONEST/CORRUPT PEOPLE: at The Augusta Chronicle, Tyrone McCord, Tracey McManus, Richmond County Board of Education, Richmond County Sheriff's Department, and FOX 54 (WFXG)! And stabbed in the back by incompetent Attorney Nathaniel Dobson, Jr., & Ieisha McClendon!

-(A COMPLETE LIE! HE KNEW, AND IF IT WASN'T FOR PEOPLE POSTING COMPLAINTS AGAINST HIM OR ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN AUGUSTA, PEOPLE WOULD CONTINUE BEING CHEATED!)

ABOUT Augusta free concert: IT was a poorly organized concert, and a very stressful church event! The pastor, church members, & concert promoters at Beulah Grove Baptist Church, were very rude, disrespectful to visitors & visting Pastors, and the church was over crowded with NO AIR CONDITIONING! Plus Hezekiah Walker, came late to his own concert, and had an attitude with shaking hands with another Minister! The women who were ushers acted like *itches, instead of Christian women- kicking some women & children out of the church to make room for "gatecrashers" & ghetto-fied *luts, who should've been in a barn, rather than a Church (or raised in one)! One woman Usher (member of the Church), was so disrespectful; that she attacked people in & out of the Chapel door! And allowed people to take up seats (even for people who never showed up), leaving disabiled people, kids, & pregnant women to STAND IN THE HALLWAY!
Only a couple of "real" Christians (an old woman & a young man who is a church pastor); gave up their seats, so that a family with kids could sit down in Church and watch & enjoy the show!

The ### (Tracey) is just mad, because she got caught by Dr. Beckles for slandering him in the CRAPPY newspaper- The Augusta Chonicle, because she is a coward, a racist, and an incompetent news reporter (like so many in AUGUSTA, GA)! She got caught lying & committing defamation of character, and was sued for it! Because she & The Chronicle's lousy staff of writers can't get ANY facts straight, and- as everyone can see; she still hasn't learned from her lesson! she's a poor sick & insane ###; who will go on using stupid aliases on the complaintsboard & keep on saying ""I see Dr. Frank Beckles everywhere!"... BECAUSE, TRACEY McMANUS IS A HATEFUL, EVIL, & PSYCHOTIC ###!
