Help Haiti: Avoid Scam Artists

Be fair, attentive, and customers
will return.

Americans want to help Haiti, but
scam artists are looking for ways
to profit.

The donating to Haiti by text-ing
scams are increasing.

The key is to donate to organizations
that are known, trusted.

Usually, catastrophic forces of nature,
home or elsewhere, will bring-out good
people wanting to help victims, and
scam artists waiting to profit.

The Federal Trade Commission is warning
people about fake e-mails promising to
help victims, and how scam artists set-up
web sites that look professional.

The goal is to help victims by putting
funds in the hands of organizations
that understand the unique challenges
of such disasters.

The Better Business Bureau has tips
for those wanting to help. The link is:

Be aware as you step-up to help, and
be mindful of scam artists.
