Watch Where you Donate
September 2, 2008 – 7:51 amAccording to an article from ComputerWorld Online, the Phishers are back in action in the face of Hurricane Gustav. In the last 48 hours, over 100 domains have been registered. Now, not all of those domains are registered for the purpose of taking advantage of you. Some were registered so that they could be sold at a later date, and some lead to actual charities to help the victims of Gustav, but just like with Hurricane Katrina, there are always people that want to make an extra couple bucks off of the generosity of others.
If you want to donate to the relief of the victims of hurricane Gustav, make sure that you donate to a well established charity whose purpose is to help those in need (select well known charities like Red Cross or the Salvation Army).
It is good to be generous, but please be careful when you are.
