WASHINGTON, Jan. 10, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "We are urging an employee of a company that is providing any type of service to the federal government to call us anytime at 866-714-6466 if their employer has lied about being a veteran or minority owned business to gain an unfair advantage when bidding for federal work contracts. Veteran or minority owned businesses get preferential treatment when bidding for federal work contracts. Typically, it is extremely easy to prove the company is not a minority or veteran owned business, and the potential federal rewards for this type of information can be substantial, as we would like to discuss." http://CorporateWhistleblower.Com
In August 2017 the Department of Justice announced a $16 million settlement with a Virginia based company to settle allegations that they violated the False Claims Act. The settlement resolves allegations that the company, together with several purported small businesses that it controlled, fraudulently induced the government to award certain small business set-aside contracts by misrepresenting eligibility requirements. The settlement also resolves allegations that the company engaged in illegal bid rigging schemes that inflated or distorted prices charged to the government under certain contracts. In this instance the whistleblower will receive $2.9 million dollars.
The Corporate Whistleblower Center believes there is probably at least one employee of a company in every state who can prove their employer has falsely labeled itself as a minority or veteran owned business to get an unfair advantage when bidding for federal jobs or contracts. As the group would like to explain anytime at 866-714-6466 the rewards for this type of information can frequently exceed a million dollars.

Simple rules for a whistleblower from the Corporate Whistleblower Center: Do not go to the government first if you want to become a whistleblower. The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "Major whistleblowers frequently go to the government thinking they will help. It's a huge mistake. Do not go to the news media with your whistleblower information either. Any type of public revelation of a whistleblower's information could destroy the prospect for a reward. Do not try to force a government contractor or individual to come clean about overbilling the federal government out of millions of dollars, by failing to abide by the terms of contract with the federal government or by falsely claiming to be a minority, woman or veteran owned business."
The Corporate Whistleblower Center wants to emphasize there are high quality whistleblowers in every state, including California, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, or Alaska.
The Corporate Whistleblower is the premier advocate for whistleblowers in the United States.
