Alexandra Grant's Misleading Statement

From the blog "grantLOVE Project - An Investigative Eye on Charity Fraud." Post # 2 Mission Statement Fraud Analysis.


https://grantloveproject-caution.blogspot.com/2020/12/mission-statement-fraud-analysis-post-2.html

The analysis starts by providing a statement from Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and discusses four instances showing that Alexandra Grant violates the FTC:

"The FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive advertising in any medium. That is, advertising must tell the truth and not mislead consumers. A claim can be misleading if relevant information is left out or if the claim implies something that's not true"

The first instance is when Alexandra Grant claimed that she followed Newman's Own which donated 100% profit to charity and she does not which is misleading and her comparison to Newman's Own is false.

I will discuss the four points in increment as the blog provides a lot for readers to think about. But certainly, you can follow the link and read it on your own as well.
