It's just so sleazy and underhanded. It really reveals much about the politicians or organizations that would stoop to such tricks. As I said before, I'm sure it's all perfectly "legal" in the strictest sense of the word, but something that's technically legal isn't always necessarily ethical.

Usually the email/message reads something like "split $10 between XXX, YYY, ZZZ and one other group"! You have to go to the link or even a second link sometimes to find out who that "one other group" is.

Yep, well hidden.

Caveat Emptor ... let the buyer beware.
