I think the key point that whether the charity fund is legal for charity
matching or tax return should be mentioned as well. That is what ACCEF
advertised.
I modified slightly.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to inquire about whether an event happened in March, 2013 could
be defined as charity fraud according to the law.
On March 8th, March 9th and March 14th, an ID called lilykang (real name:
Lei Kang) began to post on the biggest Chinese community discussion forum in
United States (www.mitbbs.com), saying that her husband Yin Yu just passed
by because of gastric cancer. She stated that she was a full-time housewife
with three children. She claimed that she had life hardship: her elder son
had autism, and her younger daughter was only two years old. Her posts
aroused a lot of sympathy and bless on the forum at that time. Then she
posted donation information (P.O. Box, paypal and bank account) in one of
her posts, saying that a lot of people sent her messages to ask the donation
information. Later, an organization called American Chinese Culture and
Education Foundation (ACCEF) get involved http://www.accef.net/ to encourage people to donate through their website. ACCEF claimed that the donation is qualified for charity match and tax deductible. Many kind American Chinese people made donations to this family through different ways in March 2013. Without disclosing her financial situation, she even collected donations from Fudan University Department of Physics in China which raised at least 2000000 Chinese RMB (around USD$30000) from alumni and even students.
In April, 2013, the situation turn around sharply. It was disclosed
that Lei Kang's husband Yin Yu was a senior engineer in a large US
telecommunication company (Qualcomm), and she will receive over one million
dollars as a survivor (company compensation, life insurance,
her husband's stock account, etc).Moreover,ACCEF is an unregistered charity
fund. What make
people even angry is, up to now, Lei Kang, as well as ACCEF, refused to make
the total donation amount public, not even to the donators.
Could you kindly tell us whether the donation is legal and qualifed for tax
deduction and whether his event can be characterized as charity fraud? If
yes, how could we contact the related people to launch investigation on both
Lei Kang and the organization ACCEF? What kind of evidence we should
collect?
Thanks in advance for your time and information.
Best Regards,
could
