CONSUMER NOTICE: ANTHRAX GROUP NOT REGISTERED IN SOUTH CAROLINA

The group calling itself “Anthrax Task Force” has not registered to solicit funds in South Carolina, according to Secretary of State Jim Miles and the Charities Division of the Secretary of State’s Office.

Secretary Miles has received numerous calls in the last 48 hours regarding flyers and solicitations distributed by this organization, particularly in the Lowcountry of South Carolina.

“At this time, the Anthrax Task Force has not registered to solicit citizens in South Carolina, as required by state law,” said Secretary Miles. “I would like to commend the citizens who have followed our advice and called the Office of the Secretary of State to check out this charity.”

Miles added that because of the heightened sensitivity and concern related to terrorism and anthrax, the Secretary of State’s Office is alerting citizens that there is no anthrax-related charity registered to do business in South Carolina.

For more consumer information, contact the Office of Secretary of State Jim Miles at 1-888-CHARITI. Members of the press corps may contact the press office at (803)734-1605.
