TRENTON, N.J. (Legal Newsline) – New Jersey Youth Club, Inc. has been ordered to temporarily stop soliciting for charitable donations and has had its assets frozen, Acting Attorney General John J. Hoffman announced on Wednesday.
The court order came following allegations that the organization violated the state’s Consumer Fraud Act and the Charitable Registration and Investigation Act by going door-to-door to solicit donations although it is not registered as a charitable organization. The club’s representatives also allegedly made misleading and untruthful statements while seeking donations.
