Veterans Charity Faces Penalties

Week of August 02, 2010
The Veterans Support Organization faces $50,000 in civil penalties following an investigation by the Tennessee Department of State's Division of Charitable Solicitations and Gaming. The group claimed that its Tennessee chapter provides a wide range of services to veterans. However, the investigation concluded that the Tennessee chapter was not actually offering any of those services in Tennessee. Anyone who suspects a charitable organization of engaging in fraudulent or misleading activities in the state of Tennessee is encouraged to contact the State of Tennessee's Division of Charitable Solicitations and Gaming at 615-741-2555 or local law enforcement officials.
