Pennsylvania announced a recent Commonwealth Court ruling imposed a civil penalty of $10.8 million on two individuals who will be barred from soliciting charitable donations in Pennsylvania until the penalty is paid in full. According to legal filings in the case, the defendants operated commercial telemarketing firms, Phil’s Productions, LLC and MVP Productions, based in Ohio that sold concert tickets and advertising on behalf of local firefighters unions. Telemarketers led consumers to believe they were firefighters or police officers when they were not. They also made misrepresentations about how much they were paid. PA
