Veterans Charity Scamming Donors, Attorney General Says

Anna Schecter and Rehab El-Buri Report:


A man attempted to scam generous Americans by falsely claiming he was running a "rural retreat for military veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder" in Missouri, the state attorney general says. The retreat does not exist.

After a settlement conference earlier this month, Missouri Attorney General Jay Nixon has decided to sue James Barbee in civil court under the state's consumer protection laws in February for allegedly defrauding donors. Nixon obtained a temporary restraining order against Barbee in September to prevent further solicitation.

Nixon said Barbee solicited donations for the Missouri-based Liberty Spirits Farm beginning last April on his Web site, libertyspiritsfarm.org.
