--FILE--Chinese billionaire philanthropist Chen Guangbiao, Chairman of Jiangsu Huangpu Recycling Resources Co., Ltd., makes a thumb up sign during a charity lunch he hosted for homeless New Yorkers at Central Parks Loeb Boathouse restaurant in New York, America, 25 June 2014. Chinas high-profile philanthropist Chen Guangbiao has been duped into making a donation of US$30, 000 for a bogus good samaritan title during a charity tour in the United States last month. On June 25, Chen hosted a lunch for hundreds of homeless New Yorkers at Central Parks Loeb Boathouse ª a venue for luxurious events. He was bestowed the title of Global Peace and Goodwill Ambassador and Worlds Most Prominent Philanthropist by Patrick Donohue, who introduced himself as chairman of the China Foundation for Global Partnership. The certificate presented to him carried the United Nations emblem, implying it was backed by the intergovernmental organization. But the fraud came to light with an eye-catching bloomer with the United Nations spelled as United Nation. Well, for your information, our English title is the United Nations rather than United Nation, the UN posted on its official microblog account on Monday night (7 July 2014), clearly suggesting it had nothing to do with the New York-based foundation. A Shanghai-based news website (www.thepaper.cn) published an interview with Chen on Sunday (6 July 2014) which carried a picture of the certificate. Chen believed that the title was official because he thought the foundation would not dare to cheat him in front of nearly 100 media organizations, including BBC and CNN.
