Points of Light Reimburses Buyers of Fake Travel Packages
The Points of Light Institute, a group that promotes volunteerism, has nearly finished reimbursing people who unwittingly purchased bogus travel packages from its store on the eBay auction Web site, according to The New York Times.
The group, newly merged with the Hands On Network, has given out nearly $7-million in refunds to customers of the store, wrote Michelle Nunn, the group’s chief executive, in an e-mail message to donors, staff members, and others. Ms. Nunn wrote that it appears that a contractor who ran the eBay store for Points of Light offered the fake travel packages for sale.
