On January 12, a
massive earthquake in Haiti caused catastrophic damage to that nation and
its people. This has prompted international leaders and aid organizations
to urge the public to donate in the relief effort. However,
spammers are also sending out scam e-mails requesting donations to send to
Haiti – and these messages are convincing! You want to ensure
your donations are being used to help people as you intended.
The best practice is
to donate
directly to charitable organizations that are properly
registered and helping the cause. If a group is soliciting funds in
Washington state, it must be registered with the Washington Secretary
of State’s office. It only takes a few seconds to check online
at http://www.sos.wa.gov/charities/search.aspx.
The White House
website has additional information and guidance on donations to support
Haiti, available at http://www.whitehouse.gov/haitiearthquake.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has issued a press
release with information on identifying fraud and how to report if you
are a victim of donation fraud.
