Lawsuits Filed Against Fundraisers

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has filed lawsuits to shut down four professional fundraising companies that he says lie, manipulate, and deceive to get charitable donations.

The lawsuits have been filed against Caring People Enterprises, Inc., Marketing Squad, Inc., Stage Door Music Productions, Inc., and Suffolk Productions, Inc. Cumoo says over the past three years, these companies have collectively reported raising $16 million. On average, they keep 76 percent of the funds raised.

He says during telemarketing calls, these four companies consistently violated New York laws by disguising their status as paid professional fundraisers and lying about the programs that the donations would support.
