Attorney General: Fundraiser for Police Group Used 'Deceptive' Tactics

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said Thursday he intends to take court action to stop a Utah telemarketing company from using what he called “deceptive, unsavory and aggressive” solicitation tactics to extract charitable contributions that Michigan residents have said they never agreed to make.

Schuette said in a statement that he will ask for a court-issued cease-and-desist order against Corporations for Character, a professional fundraiser based in Murray, Utah, that has been making fundraising calls in the state for the Michigan Fraternal Order of Police.
