(PRWEB) December 09, 2013 -- The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, “We focus a lot of our efforts on Medicare fraud, but Medicare is just one of many areas where tax dollars are knowingly being misused. Recently, it has become apparent that all types of contractors are knowingly supplying the government with defective products. These products range from military equipment to plumbing pipes and everything in between.”

A recent example of this occurred in California, where a federal jury found JM Eagle, a pipe manufacturer, liable for allegedly defrauding government purchasers by providing pipe that did not meet industry standards. According to the suit, JM Eagle allegedly took production shortcuts that compromised quality and allegedly misled testing agencies in order to make the pipes appear higher in quality. The suit also alleged that as a result of the allegedly faulty pipes, cities will have to replace the pipes sooner than anticipated. While the damages JM Eagle will be required to pay have not yet been determined, the whistleblower in this case will receive 15-30% of the settlement. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com

“We are encouraging employees of any type of contractor that is providing the federal government faulty equipment or overbilling for services to call us any time at 866-714-6466 about whistleblower rewards,” says the Corporate Whistleblower Center. “Again, we’d like to emphasize this applies to any type of product or service being provided to the federal government.” http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com

Simple rules for a whistleblower from the Corporate Whistleblower Center:

  • Do not go to the government first if you are a major whistleblower. The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, “Major whistleblowers frequently go to the federal government thinking they will help. It’s a huge mistake.”
  • Do not go to the news media with your whistleblower information. Public revelation of a whistleblower’s information could destroy any prospect for a reward.
  • Do not try to force a government contractor, or corporation to come clean to the government about their wrongdoing. The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, “Fraud is so rampant among federal contractors that any suggestion of exposure might result in an instant job termination, or harassment of the whistleblower. Come to us first, tell us what type of information you have, and if we think it’s sufficient, we will help find the right law firms to assist in advancing your information.”
  • The Corporate Whistleblower Center wants to emphasize there are high quality whistleblowers in every state including California, New York, Florida, Texas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Rhode Island, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri, Michigan, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Alaska.
