But, they are on the CharityWatch alert list.
Very high administrative costs, advertising & marketing budgets greater than the amounts actually directed to charities, hidden distributions going to ultra-Orthodox Jewish organizations with suspect charitable credentials, misleading public reporting.
Not sure we can call it a scam, but it sure smells funny.
