" COLUMBUS, Ohio (Legal Newsline) - Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray announced on Friday that he has filed a lawsuit against three individuals who allegedly violated the state's Consumer Sales Practices Act.<br /> <br />William S. Terry, Herbert L. Terry and Vicky Perdue allegedly engaged in a scheme that scammed people in the state out of more than $15,000.<br /> <br />The three individuals allegedly worked out of a used-equipment store called Mikayla's Place and misrepresented that they were a charity that provided electronics at discounted prices to help autistic and special needs children.<br /> <br />\"These individuals created a sham business to prey on the kindness of strangers,\" Cordray said. \"They represented that they were conducting a fundraiser and consumers could purchase laptops and other electronics at huge discounts to support a camp for children with autism or special needs. Instead, they pocketed the money and many consumers who purchased equipment never received it and never received refunds.\"<br /> <br />The matter was brought to the attention of Cordray after his office received 45 complaints from individuals who lost money in the fake fundraising scheme.<br /> <br />The suit alleges that the three made false and misleading representations and failed to deliver on their promises.  <br /> <br />Cordray is seeking a permanent injunction against the individuals as well as full restitution and civil penalties."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
