Watch out for the scum....

::Sigh:: It's so predictable. As soon as the donations started pouring in to help the disaster victims in Asia, I wondered how long until the scammers would start appearing. And now here they are, out in droves posing as Red Cross volunteers and trying to line their own pockets.

So here's my advice. Don't give any money to anyone who shows up at your door or solicits you by email unless you're absolutely sure they're legit.

The better solution is for you to donate directly to the Red Cross (or other charity of your choice) by calling them yourself or via the Internet. That way you know for sure that your money is going to help the tsunami victims instead of human scum trying to milk a bad situation for their own profit.
