Dozens of so-called scam political action committees were detected during the 2022 midterm elections, raising concerns about political swindling targeting vulnerable voter groups once again during the presidential cycle.
At least 86 of these fraudulent PACs were identified during the crucial midterm cycle, according to a recent report by the nonprofit campaign finance group OpenSecrets. Scam PACs are categorized as groups that advertise themselves as supporting a specific candidate or political organization, while little to no money actually goes toward those efforts.
Another way these groups are identified is when the PAC lists its address as the home address of one of its own vendors, often resulting in the money being used to fill their own pockets. The group paid $816,000 to a vendor labeled “Public Support Services Inc.,” listing the purpose as going toward “fundraising, payment, and compliance” services. Public Support Services is a popular vendor among other scam PACs, according to OpenSecrets, especially those that claim to support groups advocating disability services or support for law enforcement.
