> He advertised that he was donating 10% of its revenue to people affected by terrorist activities in my country (Nigeria)...turns out people fell for the marketing, and he did not donate one dime.
There's a fine line between "marketing" and lying, and this is plainly on the wrong side of it.
In general though, I try to take any claims where "a portion of the proceeds" supposedly funds some charity with a huge grain of salt. It's difficult/impossible to tell how truthful the business is being about the amount donated.
