Tsunami tragedy
As Mother Nature reveals her strength again at a time of year many celebrate shared values, it is worth a reminder that others use such crises as an opportunity to scam.
If you are able and inclined to donate to the rescue efforts that are underway, please ensure that your hard-earned money is donated to a genuine organisation that you trust. Don’t click on any link in an email that arrives in your inbox where you aren’t already subscribed to their mailing list, and hopefully the emails are digitally signed from the sender.
Charity Navigator have a database to search for credentials of charities, with links to the charities’ website, as well as Tips for Giving in Times of Crisis.
Charities already in action in the affected area of Indonesia include Care and the Indonesian Red Cross. With so many affected by this third natural disaster in recent months, I’m sure there will soon be a large call for financial donations. Be tech-savvy, and stop those scammers from profitting from your benevolence.
