TIPS TO AVOID HAITI RELIEF SCAMS

Cybersecurity experts and the FBI offer several safety tips for consumers:

  • Whitehouse.gov, the United Nations and the Red Cross list legitimate websites for Haiti relief donations.
  • Don’t respond to unsolicited e-mail or click on links contained within those messages.
  • Make contributions directly to established organizations.
  • Be wary of claims that 100% of donations will assist victims.
  • Do not give your personal or financial information to anyone soliciting contributions.
