How to Give Safely
Disaster Relief and Other Causes

You might have seen my earlier post warning about scams occurring now in the wake of the ongoing disaster in Japan.
So how can good people avoid being scammed while trying to help less fortunate folks, or disaster victims?
Well, Consumer Reports put out a short article about that. There are additional things you could do, but these are the basics.
The Better Business Bureau also put out some really good tips and as a general guide, their recommendations should be followed
and they are here.
I strongly recommend reading these articles even if you can't give at present. They will really help you avoid getting scammed.
