Mass. Charity Telemarketers Pocket 71% on Average

A new report by Massachusetts Attorney General Tom Reilly shows that telemarketers who call on behalf of charities pocket 71% of what they net, on average.

You should know that when attorneys general sue these telemarketers for ripping off the public, the telemarketers hide under the skirt of the First Amendment. The good news is that the Supreme Court in 2003 rejected a First Amendment defense by a telemarketer who mislead call recipients about the amount of money that goes to the charity. That case is Illinois ex rel. Madigan v. Telemarketing Associates, Inc.
