California Sues Telemarketers and Charities
June 1, 2009
California’s attorney general is suing 17 telemarketers and 12 other entities in the state, alleging they stole millions of dollars in donations intended to help members of the police force, firefighters, and veterans, reports the Los Angeles Times.
The lawsuits say that the organizations passed on either negligible donations or none at all to charities or to charitable programs.
The Times reports that the lawsuits are part of a larger national effort to combat such practices.
