Scams are starting as if no one expected that. Received an email with poor spelling and grammar from someone calling themselves crisis.relief with an office in NY but tel# is unlisted in Seattle.

Wish these people would be caught and shipped to Haiti where they can live on the street for a few months punishment.
 
That's a good reminder, Bruce. Inevitable that such devils will surface during a crisis. This underscores the need to give only to reputable organizations. Or better, to one with which you're associated. I'm a Red Cross CPR/AED/First Aid trainer: I KNOW that the Red Cross will take care of the funds I donate.

Red Cross has a very respectable balance sheet and is not top heavy with overhead costs.

Be careful where your donations go . . .
 
Yup. Even before the disaster(s) hit there are organizations not to be trusted. Don't assume everyone wanting money will be putting yours to good use.
