I blogged yesterday regarding the Haitian earthquake and requested that you consider giving to a relief organization. Now, I want to remind you to be vigilant in the face of those seeking to enrich themselves in the face of human misery. There are a great many e-mails and websites already in motion that indicate they are for Haitian earthquake aid, but are not. Some of these are made to mimic actual relief organizations. Do not be fooled. Verify that the method you are using to donate is secure and that you are donating to a legitimate relief organization. Doctors Without Borders suggests that you use only the secure website form or the toll-free number of any organization to give at this time. Moreover, unless you trust a linking entity, don't follow links to charity sites. Find them yourself.
Thanks.
