Mark Schifter of AV123 has been charged with 5 fraud-related offences for collecting over $150,000 in the name of charities that the charities never received.

If true this is pretty low. AV123 has been mis-managed to the point that I wouldn't be surprised if this is the straw that breaks the camels back.

...wow

I'd say it's hard to believe but it seems like the people you would say that about are the people who do things like this. What a shame. I guess we'll see what happens.

Sad story.

I have considered buying stuff from them in the past.
