🚨 The Fall of CPR Safety 411: How Anthony Kidd’s Fraud Led to National Bans—But Is He Still in the Game? 🚨

February 10, 20255 min read

Anthony Kidd’s fraudulent CPR empire should have been dismantled by now.

🚨 BANNED TWICE by the American Red Cross.
🚨 STRIPPED of his Training Center & Instructor Trainer status by HSI.
🚨 EXPOSED for running a fraudulent CPR operation and card mill.

And yet—he’s STILL operating.

CPR Safety 411, the very business that was banned and blacklisted, is STILL publicly promoting itself as a certified American Red Cross Licensed Training Provider (LTP) and an HSI Authorized Training Center.

🚨 How is a banned CPR provider STILL claiming to be legitimate? 🚨

The deeper we looked, the more blatant the deception became.


📌 The Bans That Should Have Ended Kidd’s Career

For years, Anthony Kidd posed as a legitimate CPR instructor.

Through CPR Safety 411, he promised top-tier training.

But in reality, he was running a card mill.

🔴 What’s a card mill?

A fraudulent CPR operation where certifications are issued without proper training—putting unqualified individuals in life-or-death situations.

His scam began to unravel when multiple whistleblowers came forward, revealing that Kidd was:

Issuing instructor certifications without actual training.
Allowing criminals with serious convictions to become CPR instructors.
Using fraudulent credentials to obtain Red Cross and AHA approvals.
Creating fake front companies to bypass bans.

🚨 The fallout was massive.

November 17, 2023 – The American Red Cross BANS CPR Safety 411.
• Kidd’s Red Cross Licensed Training Provider (LTP) agreement was TERMINATED.
• He was permanently blacklisted from issuing Red Cross certifications.
CPR Safety 411 should have ceased operations immediately.

September 16, 2024 – HSI STRIPS Kidd of His Training Center & Instructor Trainer Status.
• HSI permanently revoked Kidd’s ability to run an HSI Training Center.
• He can no longer issue certifications under HSI’s name.

November 20, 2024 – The Red Cross BANS Kidd AGAIN—this time under his front, PA CPR Safety.
• After creating a new shell company to continue issuing Red Cross certifications, he was caught and blacklisted AGAIN.

🚨 Two major national training organizations had banned him TWICE. That should have been the end.

But it wasn’t.


🕵️‍♂️ The Loophole: PA CPR Safety & the Fake Front Strategy

When CPR Safety 411 got banned, did Kidd shut down?

No.

Instead, he created a new name: PA CPR Safety.

🚩 PA CPR Safety was registered at the SAME home address as Anthony & Stephanie Kidd.
🚩 No website. No social media. No real company—just a name to keep issuing certifications.
🚩 Its ONLY purpose was to work around the Red Cross ban.

And for a short while—it worked.

🚨 Until we exposed it. 🚨

🚨 The Red Cross quickly BANNED PA CPR Safety, making it Kidd’s second banned provider. 🚨

🔎 See the official Red Cross “Unauthorized Providers” list, now updated to include PA CPR Safety.

🚨 At this point, Kidd had lost TWO training providers. His name was blacklisted by TWO national organizations.

Yet CPR Safety 411 was STILL issuing certifications.


🔥 The Smoking Gun: Kevin Ross & Stephanie Kidd Are Keeping CPR Safety 411 Alive

When we searched the American Red Cross “Find My Certificate” tool, we found something shocking.

[email protected]? NO VALID INSTRUCTOR CERTIFICATION.

🚨 Anthony Kidd CANNOT legally issue Red Cross certifications. 🚨

But guess what we found?

[email protected] – VALID Red Cross instructor certification.
[email protected] – VALID Red Cross instructor certification.

🚨 The fraud didn’t stop—Kidd just changed the names on the paperwork. 🚨

💥 But here’s the catch: BOTH instructors are using emails from CPR Safety 411’s domainA DOMAIN ANTHONY KIDD OWNS!

🔎 See the proof: Stephanie Kidd’s Red Cross Instructor Certificates.
🔎 See the proof: Kevin Ross’ Red Cross Instructor Certificates.

🚨 THIS is how Kidd is still issuing Red Cross certifications—by logging in under their names. 🚨


🚩 The Next Level of Fraud: CPR Safety 411 STILL Advertising as an ARC & HSI Provider

🚨 Despite being banned, CPR Safety 411 is STILL actively advertising itself as an American Red Cross LTP and an HSI Authorized Training Center. 🚨

🔎 CPR Safety 411 website still claiming ARC & HSI approvals.

🔎 CPR Safety 411’s “About Us” page listing false certifications.

🚨 And it doesn’t stop at their website. 🚨

💥 Across multiple platforms, Kidd is STILL falsely advertising as an active American Red Cross provider!

CPR Safety 411 on Instagram, STILL promoting ARC courses.
CPR Safety 411 on Yelp—UPDATED February 2025, showing ARC logos & classes.
CPR Safety 411 on Facebook, still falsely advertising ARC certifications.
CPR Safety 411 on LinkedIn, falsely listing ARC & HSI affiliations.

🚨 Most shockingly, Yelp’s listing—UPDATED in February 2025—features:
American Red Cross branding.
ARC courses displayed on projector screens.
ARC-branded training mats and equipment.

How is this happening when Kidd is BANNED?

🚨 Because the fraud NEVER STOPPED. 🚨


💥 The Next Loophole: Kidd’s Pivot to the American Heart Association

🚨 After being banned by the Red Cross and HSI, Kidd found a new home—the American Heart Association.

December 2023: Kidd became an AHA instructor through Hale CPR.
Hale CPR is an AHA Training Site under Allied 100.
Allied 100 is owned by Cardio Partners, a company under Sarnova, Inc.

🔎 See the proof: Anthony Kidd’s AHA Instructor Certification under Hale CPR.

🚨 How many fraudulent certifications has he issued under AHA’s name? 🚨


🚨 The Industry Must Act NOW 🚨

📢 We are calling for:
Immediate suspension of all instructor certifications issued under CPR Safety 411, PA CPR Safety, Kevin Ross, and Stephanie Kidd.
A full audit of ALL certifications issued under their names.
A review of how Kidd managed to secure an AHA instructor certification through Hale CPR off a fresh American Red Cross ban!

🚨 CPR Safety 411 should have been shut down TWICE. Instead, Kidd is STILL issuing certifications through loopholes. 🚨
